DTASC to HO'S

We took fifth place at DTASC this weekend. I am still shocked by how well we were able to do considering the amount of last minute scrambling within the last week. Now that DTASC is done and over with, we have officially moved into our next project. We had already casted our show last week. I think one of our most interesting choices was Anna, who will be playing the role of Alba. She is the main character of our production as her monologues are the catalyst for much of the action. From what we have seen of Anna in class, her nature seems quite timid, reserved, and soft-spoken. Alba, on the other hand, is a character of great strength and fortitude as she endured a long imprisonment during which time she was raped by a military leader. There was an unquestionable spark, though, when Anna read for Alba. It almost seemed as though her quiet temperament had translated into wisdom and meaning beyond her years. I cannot wait to begin working closely with Anna to bring that sage and quiet fortitude of hers to the forefront so others will be able to see it.
