I just got back from drama camp this morning. It was so fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I miss everyone so much, and would love to go back next year. Unfortunately, circumstances being what they will be, this may have been my last year. Below are some photos summing up the past week. :)
This was me in the car on Monday morning. My little sister had an early dentist appointment, so we were out the door at 6:15 a.m. I dressed as the 11'th Doctor for my audition that afternoon. I did The Pandorica Opens monologue.
This is my friend, Kate, and me at the recreation center on the first night. It was so nice to see her again.
This past week, Shane Lewis preached at camp, and he was awesome. His messages were very direct and challenging, and he made points that have caused me to make some important personal decisions.
There was a game night for all the campers every few nights, and every year we are split into teams. Some of my friends, my sister, her friends, and I were blue team. My sister and her friends really got into the team spirit. Lol
Thursday night they had a "skit night", and drama camp got seats right up front. Our floor leaders put on small shows for the camps, and they were awesome. This was the set for the first show.
Goofing off before rehearsals. Lol :p we swapped glasses.
One of my friends, Nic, came to see us even though he was too old to go to camp. It was so nice to see him again, and a pleasant surprise.
These girls were in my workshop group, and they are all completely ridiculous. ;p They were so fun to hang out with, and we had many good laughs.
At the last evening service, they allowed campers to get on the stage and take photos on the set. My sister and I immediately agreed that we needed a photo on the chariot. The theme was "More Than Conquerors", and they decided to make it Grecian army themed, which was awesome.
These are my other roommates, Lia and Dani (who were great and hilarious). We took a photo marking the day of opening night. We were all so excited, but couldn't believe that it was all almost over.
Costume time! I always love when I get my costume, and this year I got to pick it out. My costume was everything I ever wanted that week. My directors were actually rather shocked at how happy I was. I was cast in Little Women as Hannah, the family servant. I have read the book many times, seen the movie, listened to the radio drama, and will be in that show twice. Kate was Jo, and she did amazing. :)
This was my finished make up. They gave me wrinkles, which was a little weird, but I was game for something new, and I got it. Everyone said I looked adorable, and I just really loved my dress. I wanted to keep it. XD
Okay, here's some backstory on this photo. I had noted my looking like Nurse Redfern from the episodes Human Nature/Family of Blood in Doctor Who. Everyone kept saying that Russell (Laurie) looked like the Doctor. So, a picture was asked to be taken. This is the result. Just a side note, Russell was so sweet, and really improved throughout the week. His portrayal of Laurie was great.
This was what the dayroom looked like after we finished the shows. We all brought out the food, and we talked about the past week and Kate even performed a small skit for us. You can see her in the background, derping out. Lol
I decided to mark the events of this morning (everyone's leaving) with a photo of all my stuff packed up and ready to be taken down to the lobby.
My roomies and I preparing to go to breakfast and say "goodbye". :( Surprisingly, I have been having a hard time trying not to cry over leaving this year. Normally, I am not so upset, but this morning was hard.
These are all the signatures on my shirt. :)
I miss my drama friends so much right now, and if you are one of them and you're reading this right now, I hope I'll get to see you again and that you have a great rest of the summer!
