Hmm well, I think I have time for one last FUCK YOU to high school.
I was just on myspace, and I went on a friends page who I hadn't talked to in a while. And on her comments I see the name of the play I directed this year and "Ew" in the same comment. And then I see "Ew it was gross but we were amazing." Oh and allow me to mention that this person that said these things said it to one of the two people who put ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT into my play, and she was also a cast member and is probably reading this right now.
Well you know what? You were NOT amazing. And my play was NOT gross. Maybe you guys didn't get it but that gives you no right to judge my play. Directing is the single hardest aspect of theatre and I was doing the best I can with what I was given. I had no budget, no time, and I got hardly the cast I was looking for.
And what really sucks is that the girl that said this shit was the one who came the farthest. The one who I didn't want at first but almost instantly came to love because she came so far. And after seeing how far I got her, after fucking Mrs. Erickson complemented me on how far she came, I actually started to think I actually wouldn't mind being an educator. But fuck this. How dare you.
And until you take directing you have no room to talk. The only people who have any idea are the people that have actually taken directing, so please shut your mouth.
I'm sorry that my play had some artistic value. I'm sorry that my play made a statement. I'm sorry that my play challenged everyone in my cast and the audience to actually THINK and INTERPRET it. I'm sorry that my play fell short because my cast refused to rise to the challenge my play presented because they refused to embrace it and understand it. And I'm so fucking sorry that my play wasn't the middle and high school "theatre" shit that about 75% of the marathon was. My bad for robbing you of a chance to do something "cute and fun" rather than work for greatness.
So to my cast, thank you. Thank you for all the stress and bullshit. You really made the process worth it for me.
I have never been so insulted. This is my life. This is who I am. I've been doing this for a LONG time now and know damn well what I'm doing. Can you tell me how much theatre experience you have? You have no right to criticize me at all.
Ps. And for such a "gross play" I was told my play was one of the best ones performed during the marathon by Mrs. Erickson herself. So you can shut your fucking mouth thank you.
Whatever, I'm leaving in 5 days to study theatre at one of the best schools in the south. Have fun doing what you're doing.
