The drama performance

Tomorrow is the drama performance of the period of this semester(戲劇概論期末公演). There will be three different types of drama played and all the plays were written by ourselves. 
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.
