OUR PLAY

So, yes, you might've heard. Lois and I are in a play. (Also Emily.) And today was the dress-rehearsal. So many things that were funny or had gone wrong, but yet, the directors that are usually incredibly strict said we did awesome. Now, I really don't know how much money went into getting them to say that, but I THINK it was from the heart. But you never know. After all, they ARE actors themselves. Lol. Soooo...first I didn't even have an outfit ready. My costume was so last minute. Let me lay this out for you: I and fellow friend are mannequins (that come alive after store hours! (pause for crowd to go "Oooooo~")). Lois is a burglar. A stupid one too. (I must say Lois portrays her character incredibly well. Like, no sarcasm.) So, me, the mannequin got my outfit together at last. Then we are running around to get our make up done. And this whole time, Lois is fussing about how incredibly horrible she looks with her bangs up and how she really needs them down and how dang old Caleb (one of the two directors) is not letting her. Then I help her pin them up nicely. And she shuts up. (Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little. Haha, Lois is probably going "Hey! Shuttup, Josephine!" as she reads this.) Then after my make up is done, (I must say I looked like half vampire half drag queen.) we all take our places on stage. My fellow co-star Saffron, is incredibly nervous. And I, even though I don't suffer stage fright, had an incredibly runny nose. Not good. The curtains open and the play begins (Actually, the curtain actually hits Saffron, like I think it smacked her in the face as it brushed by.). We say our lines and when it gets to the part where another mannequin, Jay, needs to pose with an umbrella, he can't find one so he just fumbles around and suddenly pops into this pretty hot pose. Yeah, right. It was so random. Then, it was blackout and we had to get ready for Scene Two. But because of lack of organization, we didn't know what to do with the stuffing that had been thrown out of a box earlier in the play. So I say, "WHERE DO WE PUT THE STUFFING?" And then this girl Meeghan pops up with this real great idea, "PUT IT IN MY SKIRT!" So we stuff everything into this little basket that she made by pulling the hem of her skirt upwards. Wow, right? And then since there was also lack of communication with the light crew and us, we had to do this in the dark. Real fun. And then the last part came, and Jay is suppoesd to drive away and then crash. But since the sound effects come too light, he starts making his own sound effects with his own mouth! It's really funny. And then...THE END.
At the end of it all, we had a great performance. And the cast is looking forward to our performance on Friday where everyone is going to be WATCHING us. Hope we do good. And no more stuffing stuffed into skirts.
