Well everyone, I’m sad to announce that tomorrow will be our very last performance of “The Taming of the Shrew”… I can’t believe just how fast this theatre company class has gone by. It still amazes me that we only had two weeks of rehearsal before our first performance= that’s crazy!
Anyway, tomorrow we will be performing our last show at Lund Pond, located on the Waldorf College campus; the show starts at 6:00 p.m. I am excited for tomorrow’s performance not because it will be our last one but for the fact that my mother will be attending the show. 
I think that this class has definitely educated me in several different ways. For example, I learned a lot about some of the other cast members and have become close friends to some of these individuals. Emily is someone that I didn’t even know, and we are now good friends. It’s unfortunate that as I grow closer to and build stronger friendships with some of the other cast members, that the class is almost over.
I have also learned more about theatre and all of the work that actually goes into a show. Even though I was in a few theatrical productions in high school, I was just an actor. When I came to Waldorf, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a few different crews; I’m currently one of the “Paint Crew Heads”, but other than acting and painting the set= I never realized all of the “business” work that it took to make a show actually happen!
I now have a new level of appreciation for the theatre and all of the work it takes to physically have a show put together; this surprising because I already appreciate the fine arts (including theatre). At any rate, it’s been a great learning experience for me, and I’m so glad that I’ve had this opportunity!
Take care everyone! I hope that you have enjoyed reading all of these blogs about “The Taming of the Shrew”.
