☆🎨 HBD Maria Clara (+ hamlet play)

March 8, 2019

For my aunt because it's her birthday tomorrow.

Also this is how I imagine a modernized Maria Clara from Noli Me Tangere

Speaking of plays... we had a play yesterday!

Yes, we finally performed HAMLET!

I think we rocked the intro! We danced to Believer and it was pretty epic.

The play went on pretty smoothly. Until somewhere in act 3 where we mixed up the scenes and we got confused. The audience is gone.... they left because they were only allowed to watch for 1 hour (which is the allotted time) but since our play is like the length of a real play we went on for 2 hours.

In short, we performed without an audience. It was pretty disappointing I guess. But our teachers said students really enjoyed our show and they would stay if they could...but they were t allowed because they have classes.

So many of us cried because of that... because it felt like their efforts wasn't that appreciated

BUT FOR SOME REASON I DIDNT CRY. Or felt that disappointed. Of course I'm a little sad, I contributed so much and I made so much efforts but... I just didn't cry. Idk...

I really did contribute a lot (not to brag). I have about 4 roles for the play

I was...
-A script writer (and I was the one who wrote the most scenes)
-a back up dancer (even tho I'm not really good at dancing)
-an actor with a minor role (I was Reynaldo)
-and a host! (Because there was a short program introduction thingy at the beginning and I was one of the two hosts who lead that)

But yeah, we did ROCK the play.

So many people enjoyed the performances. I must say we could have done a really decent play if we were given about 2 hours to perform (with audience)

Here's some behind the scenes pic I guess

(I suck at taking pictures sorry)
