It's the most wonderful time of the year

     Can I just say how frustrating situations are when you know something is cast incorrectly? 'Cause seriously, our current play at school is a bit ridiculous. In one of the lead roles, we have....george. George is your typical, blonde, hot heart throb; who, ya, can once and awhile tap into his emotions. In this play he plays multiple roles, in which one would expect there to be a clear definition between them. But no, every character George interprets the same way, plain and so similar to George's self. It may sound harsh, but in all honesty you may not know that he played different characters if he was wearing the same costume. 

     On the other hand you have a girl, we'll call her jamie, who would dedicate her entire self to the role. She had already thought of all the different ways she could play each character; the way they would walk, talk, the habits they would have, why they would have them, ect. Their whole background story. But of course, she is cast as the main caroler because she can sing. At first jamie was told she would have many solos and be able to teach the rest of the kidies how to sing. Sounds promising, does it not? Turns out she gets one line of one song because thats just how the play works out. Oh and might I mention, it's her final year and a grade 10 girl has a bigger role than she does.

     So your probably thinking, well obviously she's not as good as actress. But you know, I can't help but think why Jamie's teacher would lie to her after watching her final monologue at the end of last year and say, "Wow, after a while of not seeing someone preform you forget how talented they are. I can't wait to see what you do next year." I'm sorry if this sounds cocky on Jamie's behalf, but I think she deserved a role; anything bigger than what she has got. Everyone's been told to appreciate what they have, but sometimes.... when you have worked your ass off for something, you just want the chance you achieve and even greater opportunity. 

That may as well be the cockiest/bitchiest thing I've ever written. And I'm sorry, but I just needed to get that out.

ps- I WANT TO GO TO OPERA VIVA SO BAD.
