Tomorrow is my first afternoon
after a long, long time.
I haven't been doing carpool at all for the past weeks since I've been staying in school and practicing my ass off for our LITPLAY.
It was entitled "Evict the Heron," a play that I wrote based on this strange infrastructure in Marikina River Park that sorta shields the people from the harsh realities. There's this wall that covers the squatter's area, and our creative team thought, why not make our play based on this very concept?
And so came, "Evict the Heron." I guess I could consider it as my baby. The idea was my blockmate's, but I wove the lines, and humor into this nineteen page script that was brought to life last Friday. Infused with my blockamate R's powerful songs, with Clasa's stupendous set design, Aimee's magnificent light and sounds, and R27's collective acting prowess - we pulled it off ladies and gentlemen.
We racked up most of the awards in the Intra-Class Play Competition.
Best Costume and Set Design
Best Lights and Sounds
Best Original Song (Loobang Tatlonghari, and Looban ng Buhay)
Best Actor (King Echiverri as the Mayor, George)
and Best Play!!!!!!
In the words of Macky, it was like a neverending orgasm hearing your play rack up the awards against worthy competition - Hope and Four Sam.
And whoever thought that this script that underwent countless remodifications (Imagine the wasted paper), the script I'd rework time and again in the Sub, or in Cam's house, or in the cafeteria, or in my room, or in school would win!
I'm so proud of our English Block coz it's just the best there is. With so an upsurge of talent, dedication through all those laborious practice sessions til nightfall, and just having fun in our last sem together, winning this competition and bonding with my English Blockmates was just a blast.
I'm sorta weirded out now that tomorrow, I'll have my first afternoon. It should've been today but I had an Environmental Lab Exam til 6:00 pm. It's like, I sleep at night and I utter the lines of the squatters, or the businessmen, or sing those bedazzling lines that R composed for our block.
It's like "Evict the Heron" is a part of me already. And then it hit me, maybe theatre is my calling. If not acting, maybe writing plays for friends and acquaintances to bring to life in front of the stage. The camaraderie that you share, the experience - it's all just immeasurable and something I would not trade for the world.
Thanks Dots for being the best director and pushing us to the limit. And most importantly, thank you R27. You guys are the best there is, and the best there ever will be.
