A sudden flow of jobs!..

After getting settled into Year 13 at College I have been given all my 'roles' for the next year at college, and I have been offered a couple more small jobs with the company who I did "Hairspray" with! These include 'Footloose' at Rodean again, but ALSO 'The Full Monty' at the Theatre Royal, I am definitely going to accept both these offers, but I won't be to attend a couple of the dates due to work and college, I hope that doesn't affect anything.

I am extremely pleased with the roles I was given via college. The school have seemed to start caring a lot more about their production team, and have given us a huge workshop behind the stage so we can build set, and more opportunities in the shows Blatch puts on elsewhere in Brighton. This year Blatchingtonmill is putting on a whole school production, which will be extremely different from the usual lower and upper school productions. I'm Stage Manager for this Production, and I'm extremely excited!

Starting her last year of college!

I'm finally back in College, and I can't wait to be given my role for the next Blatch production. I honestly don't mind what job I am given, as long as it isn't crew, I want to be in control of some aspect at least.
So far I have done lighting and DSM. Sound or ASM would be the two I wouldn't mind getting.
On a side note, I've been reading Dracula for English Lit and I have never heard of any sort of production based on it, so I decided to do a little research!
In 1924 the novel Dracula written by Bram Stoker was adapted into a play that toured England for 3 years before settling in London and was even moved to Broadway at the end of 1927 and won many awards.
According to a rumour, before the summer next year, the entire school are putting on a production of "Madness The Musical" or "Our House". Which is a very modern musical, based on the songs from the well known ska band 'Madness'. Excited about that :D
