Well, after the first and second nights, the run of it all is starting to seem organised, Haha.
At last everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, and I can definitely say that this wouldn’t be so, without the hard work that everyone has put into it, and I think we should all be proud that we’ve taken part in Calamity Jane 2009, but that’s not to say that we can’t still have some fun on the remaining 4 nights to go, as tonight I started to see enjoyment from the characters, on-stage and off.
Hey, even Miss’ Stinchcombe’s lovely singing voice could have been heard bellowing “A Womans touch and A Hive full of honey” throughout fletcher and the theatre, and quite tunefully too, I may add.
How, considering her good nature and “enchanted” like style, she didn’t cast herself as one of the very cheesy high spirited women, or one of the “stick out lips while sniffing” cowboys, I do not know.
Calamity Jane ~ 2nd Night…
7 Sleeps Till Opening Night.
Well, this is it people, the last week of rehearsals for Calamity Jane; two weeks and it’ll all be over. Let’s make the most of it, because let’s face it, much like previous productions, it has been a big part of our day to day life, that we will miss.
In the mean time; check out the pictures that i’ve been taking during the production. I’ll eventually put up the “Wanted Posters” too. The set is coming together, but there’s still a lot to do, so come along at lunch time, or even after school to help!! (Bring an old shirt for painting) Peace out! Oh, and don’t forget tickets : £4.50 Adult £4 Concession £3.50 Child…. Go to the cash office NOW! 
Much Love

Now then did you know that…..
Drama is the specific mode of fiction represented in performance. The term comes from a Greek word meaning “action” (Classical Greek: δράμα, dráma), which is derived from “to do” (Classical Greek: δράω, dráō). The enactment of drama in theatre, performed by actors on a stage before an audience, presupposes collaborative modes of production and a collective form of reception. The structure of dramatic texts, unlike other forms of literature, is directly influenced by this collaborative production and collective reception. The early modern tragedy Hamlet (1601) by Shakespeare and the classical Athenian tragedy Oedipus the King (c. 429 BCE) by Sophocles are among the supreme masterpieces of the art of drama.
Blimey!
