The Playhouse

So the two year Community Drama was finished up at MaGee University in Derry Ireland.  What happens now?   I thought about this and I have to say that did enjoy the class and you know what?  If I could to do it again I would.  That class was fun and I realized that I also enjoyed performing on stage.  My friend Bernadette from class introduced me a program called EuroCAT at The Playhouse.

EuroCAT stands for Euro because it’s in the European and CAT for Community Arts Training.  I thought that was interesting.  EuroCAT is a 10-week course (1 night a week), that covers a variety of things such as Visual Arts, Improvisations, Community Drama, Dancing, Stage Lighting and a few other areas.  I could only imagine how well EuroCAT had progressed because nobody knew how it was going to turn out.  The time that I attended the EuroCAT program, that was the second season for The Playhouse has been organizing EuroCAT.

We had to do a performance on our 10th week and it could be anything that we wanted to do for our piece for week 10.  My piece was a battle between two lions where later they become friends walking away.  The girl who was my partner of this project backed out because she felt that she couldn’t do it.  I had to figure out what to do with my piece.  I got my friend Angela to participate in my performance as well as another girl.  Now I got some actors I could think about what to do with my performance.  I had to perfect idea and that was about a girl’s fairytale.  Angela played the part of the little girl.  There was the other woman who was the fairy, and of course I was Jack from the Jack In The Box.  The storyline of this fairytale was that the little girl was grounded and was sent to her room.  There she throws a slight fit and then finds herself falling asleep beside the big jumble size Jack in the box.  Of course I played the role of Jack.  She wakes up and discovers a fairy dancing around in her room.  She waves her wand and brings Jack to life where they started dancing around the room.  The three of them were having so much fun when the little girl hears her mother to come down for her dinner.  Jack jumped back into his box, the little girl hugs Jack.  He waves to the little girl, the fairy waves her magic wand into the hair and taps her wand to Jack and switches him back into a toy again.
