The Plays I've Performed

        I have had 3 roles in plays in my lifetime. One of them was from last year. The two other plays are happening right now.

 The first play that I had was in December of 2011. It was a musical play. The show was called ‘The Drowsy Shepherd’ and the role I got was the main character in the show, Aaron, a sleepy shepherd. Our Christmas Pageant was at West Valley Presbyterian Church, on Bollinger Road. It was about a shepherd who always fell asleep and after being shouted at, heard his manager say that he was changed to the Real Estate business.

One of the plays that are happening right now is a musical play at Chinese Church in Christ. It is called Camp Wise-N-Up. I am playing a guy called RJ. He thinks he is really cool and gets mad easily. He doesn’t like Scott, who thinks he’s the leader.

The last play that I’m doing is at Theater Camp. We are doing a play called Olaf The Viking In The Quest For The Might Yogar. It is about three heroes, who get told by Jim the Peasant, who is played by me, that they should look for the Mighty Yogar. It gets confused with yogurt a lot, and they end up thinking its power is creamy deliciousness instead of the power to freeze people. My character, Jim, hates the heroes and doesn’t like his job either. Have you been in a play before yet?

Summer Theater Camp

Today, I went to the Willow Glen Children’s Theater Summer Camp from 10:00 to 3:00 at the Willow Glen Frank Bramhall Park. It will go on for four weeks. The leaders there were Jordan, Michael, Sydney, Paige, Nikki, Christina, Deborah, Brianna and Amy. The director’s name is Gavin. This week’s theme is East Coast and today’s theme was Washington D.C. In the morning, we had games. We played a game called Mr. President first. It is basically like Indian Chief. There is a guesser, who tries to find out who the President/First Lady (Indian Chief) is. The President does a motion, and everybody follows them. The guesser has three guesses. Only one of the presidents won. Next we played a game called Debate, where we used an adjective, noun and verb to make a phrase. We choose two people each for two teams (For and Against) to be the people who act out the words. We also choose one person for each team who will try to figure out the phrase by watching the acting people. Once they have figured it out, they have to say: “ I am for/against _____ _______ _______  (Noun, Adjective, Verb.) There was a time when the two guessers said the phrase at the same time.  By the time we finished playing it, it was lunchtime. I played Connect Four after I finished eating. When lunch ended, we did a skit. We were supposed to base the skit off a story and add changes. We copied Red Riding Hood. The changes we had were no killing Wolf, two wolves and a friend who saved Red from being eaten by two wolves in the forest. One skit I thought was really funny was a skit based off of Jack and the Beanstalk. There were two people and one thing. The thing was a cookie monster. Instead of selling a cow, they sold a talking pig and instead of getting magic beans they got magic cherries. They climbed up a 2,000 foot cherry tree the next day and met some giants. The oldest child said,” I’m a fan of the Giants. Are you?” The giants said,” Yes,” so they watched the Super Bowl. Later a Dwarf came and told them that he would eat them up if they didn’t pick the cherries. They didn’t and went down the tree. They then remembered that they didn’t have an axe. Just then, George Washington chopped it down. After that, we went home. I had a really fun time at camp today. I hope tomorrow will be even better!
