Drama practice today...

... sucked. We had to do Act 1 twice. During the first time, we got screwed 'cos we messed up. I don't know why this time the stuff were sooo confusing. It might look simple to other people, but it's really quite tough. There was the time factor and the 'crowded' factor. There were people(not only stage crew) losing their tempers, but mostly did not. It's these situations that show the true side of how a person really is. I managed to keep my cool and put on a 'normal' face. And some people were just PLAIN UNHELPFUL. If we mess up, we should work together to solve the problem, not point the finger of accusation at the person who did something wrong. Now I really know the REAL personality of these people. I'm not saying out any names or I might find some parangs flying after me. And that leak in the roof causing the water to drip onto the stage is really causing us problems. Well, at least the second time we did Act 1 was better. We managed to do everything correctly except for one thing. In one of the scenes, we accidentally swapped the positions of 2 flats(they were the background thingys) so it looked kinda weird. By the time we realised that the flats were in the wrong positions, the curtains were already opened. We could not run out and switch it 'cos that would be suicide. So we just hoped that the teacher would not realise it. We were discussing in a small group backstage about the flats. I said,"Let's just hope she does not notice it." Then, there was a reply behind me saying,"I hope so too." Guess who said that? Yep, you got it right. It was the DRAMA TEACHER. I did not realise that she was behind me... she walked silently and the door guy did not warn me that the teacher was there. I was like: When the heck did she get behind me?! And then after the practice, there was this session where the teacher gave the comments about the practice. She told everybody that was in the hall what happened backstage. Then the people who knew who she was talking about looked at me and LAUGHED. That was EMBARASSING. Today is just not my day.
