Musical Performance
November 14, 2019

After many, many, many rehearsals our school's musical performance finally took place. My role had been changed to be a Co-Director, which doesn't sound like a big difference from Assistant Director, but there previously had been one Director and one Assistant Director and over time throughout the rehearsal process it changed to there being two Co-Directors with the same job which was a massive step up and got me far more invested in the show. Due to this during the show I was incredibly stressed, every time the actors made a joke I was terrified that the audience wouldn't laugh. However, because of the time and effort that we had put into the musical and the skill of the actors most of the jokes landed well. There were very few hangups in the first show and every mistake that was made was able to be saved by another actor coming up with something on the spot to recover it. In this project I believe that I fulfilled Learning Outcome 5 "Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively" by working together with the cast and the other co director in order to create the end result of our show. It was a wonderful and challenging process and I would love to do the same next year in our play.
