ROMEO AND JULIET - OPENING NIGHT

Post Reply New Topic

Sorry guys, i meant to post this two days ago, but i've been so busy that i haven't had much time.

Anyways, my school theatre troupe just performed their first Shakespearean play (three guesses which one), and boy, they did a damned good job. Of course, I was part of the performance as well, otherwise i probably wouldn't have been so excited. Anyways, i've changed my signature and avatar in tribute to the play. I must say, i wish you guys could see it, it is AWESOME.

Here is a promo ad that our school's TV/Film class put on our school wide televison program, Tiger Vision (courtesy of YouTube and my friend, slice_fury)

Looks good, doesn't it? This was actually an early rehearsal, so we don't have costumes or lighting yet. It looks a lot better with it, but oh well...

See you guys later, and LONG LIVE THE CAPULETS!! !!

Looks great! I studied Romeo & Juliet in high school, not my fav shakespeare play, but it is really good. congrats on the opening!

Wow that's so impressive! I'm a Shakespeare fan and I've come to expect exceedingly calm productions of Romeo & Juliet. But what you've got there is fabulous! How I wish I could have seen it.

You aren't the only one. The house went buck wild after curtain call, clapping and cheering and making an all around din. I was talking to one girl after the performance (we traditionally come out to greet the audience in the lobby before changing out of costume) who was crying after Romeo and Juliet killed themselves. That, my friends, is serious acting.

Of course, a hand goes out to our director. I also thank our choreographer for those excellent fighting sequences.
