hey S72!! :D
i know you all are pretty busy and occupied with your own stuff, plus there's dance night this weekend, but F.Y.I: there's also a play by ELDDFS on the 16/17 of may too!!
i guess you would have seen the posters around school of this year's ELDDFS drama production:
"How the other half loves". unfortunately, possibly due to the lack of publicity/interest by students who are less inclined to theatre/overshadowing by the ever popular dance night (which i must say is very good :P), the ticket sales have been very disappointing. according to insider's reports, only a mere 30% of the tickets have been sold. yes. 30%. my heart really goes out to them.
i think it is really quite sad that our fellow drama mates aren't given the due they deserve. i went to watch their recent
S24 Shakespeare performance where they performed
Twelth Night, and they were
AMAZING. THEY TOTALLY ROCKED MY SOCKS. and not to mention, they left the audience in peals of hysterical laughter. seriously. i admit that i wasn't very keen in the first place, but luckily kaiyi and zakiyah dragged me along and i must say it must be the best $8 i have ever spent. they totally blew RJ out of the water.
apparently, the tchr-in-charge specially booked the performance timeslot just so it wouldn't clash with anything else. well, it seems like he overlooked dance night. :P so in a nutshell, he was pretty disappointed. and this is their SYF performance piece, which is actually happening tmr, 14 may, so you'll be guaranteed a show of quality. the actors, directors and teachers have been working very hard, and not to mention the time and money spent on props. (huang cheng ppl should know) and i think it's so sad that if this keeps up, the annual drama production would be forgone next year, or even perhaps for subsequent years to come.
i'm just saying, cos you know, the theatre is nothing without it's audience. and without an audience, it's taking away the chance of performing from these EXTREMELY talented individuals. put yourselves in their shoes. i'm sure none of us would feel good if no one went to support our sports matches/performances, so let's just support them this once, and who knows? you just might want more. :)
