As You Like It

Date: 12/21/2019

I was gonna be in a mini production of As You Like It, and when I say mini, I mean we got cast and then had 2 hours to learn our lines and make the set. This wasn’t normal as you like it. It had pirates and nazi soldiers in it. We got to the end of the casting and the director didn’t give me or this other guy a role. We were kinda upset but we helped out with costumes and the set. The theatre we were in was big and fancy with different wings, like an opera house and during the performance the house lights were on at 100%. There was also a woman in the audience giving stage directions. At the last minute before the show I was cast as the main character’s daughter. She didn’t have any lines, she just sat on stage and looked pretty while he talked about her. Before the show I had to use the bathroom but the whole cast was in the bathroom while I was sitting on the toilet. It wasn’t in a stall, we were in a single stall bathroom. I asked them to leave but they wouldn’t. Finally they did but they didn’t close the door. As I was finishing my history teacher and his wife walked into the bathroom. I was having trouble pulling my pants up even though I was wearing a dress. He started talking to me even though I had my pants half down but finally I got dressed and went backstage. I didn’t know my cue however, because non of us were given scripts so o just waited until someone waved me on.
