I'm not sure if all of you truely understand the super hard work that goes into putting on a show. Theres lights, sound, and acting that all have to been taken care of. memorization is killer. For kill me deadly, every time the main character says, "charlie nickles" the sound DUH DUH DUHHH goes off.That took for freaking ever to get right. literally, we spent like two hours on it.  And then somebody screws up their lines, they can't find theyre fake ciggarettes, or somebody dosent come in on their cue and before you know it your rehersal is  hours.

Lemme explain Reiff Rage to you all. For those of you who don't know Mr. Reiff, he is the theater director at west. Most hilarious man alive. He's obsessed with ghost busters and fart jokes. But when were not just messing around and its crunch week for a musical or something, Reiff Rage can spark. When this occurs, you dont try to run. You just hide or cower in fear and hope that MAYBE he will spare your life. His face goes FIERCE red. And theres this one vain on his temple that turns really purple and pumps up and down. This only happens when we all screw up SO BAD its scary. I've only seen it two times in my life actually.

But other than that, school musicals are a blast. they consume my life at the time, but whatever im seventeen. You just get super close to everybody. When theyre over and I've been doing the same thing after school for  two or so months I'm like, what do i do now?  Homework? HA.
