Finally

I have never felt a larger sense of relief than I feel right now. The most difficult semester of my entire college career is almost over. Last weekend, we had our performances of The Good Doctor. I never realized how difficult directing a show can be. Working with the actors was only a tiny portion of what I had to do. Lighting, sound, programs, posters, ushering, and the set were all my (and the other four directors) responsibilities. And that's not even the half of it! It did pay off though because we put on a wonderful show. The actors were amazing, the audience loved it, and we sold more tickets in one week end than most IUS shows. Now, all I have is a final for Voice class on Wednesday, and my final project for Scene Design (including an eight page paper) is due next Monday. This I can handle. I hope.

Check It Out!

My webpage is almost complete! (The truth is, it will never be fully completed because I can always add more monologues.) But, at this point, it looks really good. There twenty-four monologues, a homepage with five pictures of IUS productions, an "about this site" page, and a link to this blog. So far, I have six classical comedy monologues, six classical dramatic monologues, six contemporary comedic monologues, and six contemporary dramatic monologues. Almost all the monologue pages have pictures of previous productions. This is because I believe it is easier to get a feel for the play if pictures are available. The "About This Site" page just explains how this webpage is specifically for women around my age in need of audition monologues. There is, also, an About Me section that just says my experience, what I am up to, and, of course, a goofy picture of me. I picked a girly color scheme and a simple layout (because I don't know how to do anything complex.) But, I think everything looks pretty good.

My Website

I've added some more monologues to my website including selections from Eve's Diary, The Casket Comedy, and Les Miserables. There are still quite a few that I plan to add. There will be a monologue from the movie Waiting for Guffman which will probably be the only movie monologue, but I wan to include it because it has worked really well for me in the past. I will, also, add some monologues from Romeo and Juliet, Othello, and Midsummer Night's Dream.

By the way, I saw the movie Leatherheads last Saturday. This movie stars George Clooney, John Krasinski, and Renee Zellweger, and is directed by Clooney. I was really excited about this movie. Partially because it looked cute and funny, and partially because I love John Krasinski. However, I was pretty disappointed. I knew I wouldn't enjoy Renee Zellweger's performance and I didn't, but it wasn't just that; Leatherheads was not all that cute or funny. It had its moments, but for the most part it was just plain boring.
