Today I am going to share the experience of preparing for a drama. At the beginning of this semester, my classmates and I were divided into three groups; each groups for one play. This is a class that everyone can select, so there are many seniors or even people from other department in our group. After we grouped up, we started to assign jobs, ex: actor, actress, director and so on by volunteering. I volunteered to be a director; it was a brave decision for me. At first, I often wondered whether this decision was right or wrong since I was just a freshman. Fearing to anger the seniors,I was afraid to communicate with them or ask them to do something. Therefore, there were some works delayed and misunderstanding; we were all a little bit unhappy and frustrated. The scriptwriter even once told someone else that she thought the director, me, didn't fully understand the script. That was really a blow for me because I worked very hard and spent a lot of time on this play but ended up doing the whole thing wrong. I have to admitted that I even wanted to quit this job. However, I couldn't just leave everting behind; that was irresponsible! So I tried to figure out what the problem was and determined to accomplish this mission. I guessed the scriptwriter didn't meant to hurt anyone; she just hoped the play could be perfect like everyone else, so there was no need to struggle with the words she said. After that, I know that communication is really important for team work. All of us finally reach the balance and practicing for the play become a wonderful thing for me. Now, I like my working partners a lot and really enjoy spending a lot of time and effort on this play.
Watching the play being performed on the stage means a lot for me. I am now very nervous and hope everything will be smooth and fine tomorrow.
Here is a picture from our play.
