This week i travelled home for christmas. I packed up as much as i could carry and got on the train from Nottingham to Birmingham to spend the month at home. Wednesday and Thursday i visited my old school and sixth form to help out with the annual Christmas Production by the Performing Arts department which i was a part of for 7 years. It was so nice to visit everyone, to see my old teachers and friends. The first day with the cast was spent making snow flakes for the stage and watching the principals practice the acting scenes and songs. It was the strangest thing to not be part taking with them as i had been an active member of the shows for so many years. Plus they were performing 'Frozen' which is currently my all time favourite Disney film. Then the evening i spent watching the cast practise and helping backstage with costumes. Spending time with the cast was brilliant especially people like Grace Smith, Daniel Kenton, Louis Simmonds and Olivia Moore as i had grown so close to them over the previous years. I had the opportunity to catch up on gossip and things that i had missed in PA (Performing Arts) whilst at University. I had really missed them a lot. However, the person who i had missed the most was one of my best friends, Kristie Drake, who was a part of my Performing Arts class. She had joined me in revisiting and helping out at the show. Being with her was great, picking on our teachers, it was as if no time had past. The show itself was as always only good on the actual night. The cast really pulled together to put on a great show for the audience. I watched the final show (front row) and i can say i was defiantly the most excited person in the audience, which was full of young children dressed as the frozen characters. Honestly, i have never been so proud of the cast in my life, it tops Performing at Birmingham's Symphony Hall and the final show of Our House. They were so amazing i wept, i love them all so much and glad they are still going strong as a cast. A great show, An amazing cast and An unforgetable two days. |
