Writers' Theatre!

I am very excited about Writers' Theatre this semester. Since I only have three classes, I have much more time to dedicate to Writers' Theatre than I did last semester and I feel so much more organized.

I have scheduled not one or two, but three events. When I became president of Writers' Theatre I really wanted to add new events, but, as you know if you've been reading this blog, that did not happen. I was very pleased with the way our fall show turned out, but I was a little disappointed that we didn't do anything new.

Last semester a club member came up with the idea of having a reading for the campus of monologues and dialogs that we had written. I put others in charge of it, but it never happened-- my fault for being too busy to look after the club properly.

So, no more of that. I have scheduled the reading and will be keeping up with what is going on with that. And I have also scheduled-- what I'm really excited about-- a club member written one act.

A club member is writing her own complete one act play that other club members will be performing later in the semester. I think that this is exactly the kind of thing that Writers' Theatre should be encouraging, and it's exactly what I have wanted to do since I became president. I am so excited that someone is interested in writing a one act and putting it on.

I am very optimistic about Writers' Theatre this semester. We had our first meeting this week, and we came up with some really original ideas for the murder mystery. Our script revision talks got off to a really slow start last semester, but I think the end result was good and I think we're going to do basically the same thing this semester (hopefully with a less slow start because we are going to have a lot to get through with three events going on).

Don't tell anyone, but I don't really have anything better to do than drive the members of Writers' Theatre out of their minds with reminders about things. This could be dangerous, as, according to certain suitemates, I am picky. This accusation was made over something I said about an Elm article written by one of my suitemates, but I don't think asking for information to be accurate is being picky.

Anyway, come to our stuff this semester because I think it's going to rock.
