Plays

Today in class, I think I was very surprised. Everyone had very different and unique plays. I was thinking that everyone was gonna have a similar play style or topic. I was also pleasantly surprised how funny a lot of them were. I was thinking that everyone was going to do something serious. It was also cool how everyone sort of picked a certain type of play and used it to make their own. Some of the topics were pretty random, but still really funny. Like, Jen’s play. I was NOT expecting to hear a play about mammoths. Or as Dexter was saying mam-moths. It was an awesome change up. I also thought Michaels play was cool. It reminded me of Law and Order (bum bum).

Performing the plays was also a lot of fun. I think that Michaels was the coolest to perform. I got to be an attorney, which was pretty sweet. I also thought it was strange how funny everyone, well at least Dexter, thought mine was. Cuz it was supposed to be serious. But I think we had fun performing stuff anyway so it doesn’t really matter. It was also cool how everyones play had little twists in them, it seemed like we all used some sort of twist to make our story different from others.

Lastly, I would like to say this was my favorite writing assignment. Everyone got to write about whatever they wanted and make stuff up. Which is pretty easy to do. Also, my little brother, who is 9, loved helping me with this. He picked out the names for me, and also, while I was writing my play, it inspired him to write his own story. Which was amazing, because he hates reading. But I thought it was cute how he felt inspired to write a story like I was. I really enjoyed this class, because I love theatre, and getting a chance to write and share my play was awesome. And I loved listening to others plays, it lets you get an idea of what everyone is really like. Although I hope everyone doesn’t think I do drugs and sleep with lots of women because of my play. Cuz I don’t.
