Hey, I’m Katie and I play the part of Penny.
This week’s rehearsal was the continuation of “Without Love”. This is one of my biggest scenes in the play. It is when Penny suddenly starts to become “cool” and the two races unite.
I’ve always been in the chorus in previous shows, but this year I finally get to play a principle character, and my determination to be on the same level as the other principle members continues to grow as the process continues.
My biggest fear in the show from the very beginning was the singing. I’ve always been a loud and confident singer being part of a group but singing solo is something I have very little confidence in doing. At the start of the week, I was nervous about the big notes that I’m required to sing, I did struggle to begin with, but with hard work and practice I’ve been able to grow more confident in singing and really try my best.
This week, as a group, has been difficult. The amount of energy needed for this scene is immense, on a vocal and chorographical level! Everyone has put in their all and really strived to be the best they can. However we not only had to do three days of solid rehearsals this week, we also had to put on two performances of “Good Morning Baltimore” and “I Can Hear The Bells” in the Friday assembly. Despite the spatial problems and slight case of nerves among most of us, the performances in my opinion were awesome. Everyone put in 100%, they gave it their all and I have never been prouder to be part of a group of people so determined.
Although March seems far away now, it really won’t be long and I can’t wait to get on that stage and perform the show of my life with the people I love! :’)
Well done guys, keep it up!
Katie
