January 12, 2014 Today was a bit of a longer day than yesterday but still just as fun! We started right at ten to finish the Q2Q. The second part of Q2Q went by in about two hours. I think this was because we were all more comfortable with the stage, the set pieces, and

FIRST DAY WITH CAST IN THE CULTURAL CENTRE! So I've had numerous rehearsals that go by quickly but none have ever gone by as quickly as today's. Seriously, when Lisa (the best stage manager ever) told us this was the last scene we'd be tech-ing because we only had a couple more minutes

January 9, 2014 Well today marks the last day rehearsing at CSOPA for Shrek... and for me, forever. If it wasn't my last show I know it would be complete excitement but because it is my last show it's a mixture of sadness and excitement... which are two completely opposite feelings. But enough of me

January 6, 2014 First day back to school which means less hours at CSOPA which means days are a bit more boring. Today was crazy at CSOPA though as all the other classes start up again this week. There were parents and kids and backpacks galore. I love to see how much CSOPA has grown

January 5, 2014 Last day of Christmas break. I have heard numerous groans and may have inserted a couple of whiny remarks myself. So begins the commute and the homework for the five minute intervals our cast isn’t on stage. I think a lot of people really disagreed with me about doing this

(video credit: Joshua Robinson) January 4, 2014 Before I start the explanation of what this lovely day contained I just wanted to make an observation. I’m pretty sure that our cast is basically living and breathing CSOPA because whenever I ask somebody what day it is, nobody knows… because it simply doesn’t matter

Well today was interesting! We came to CSOPA to find out that the director for the day would be the lovely Lisa as our director was out sick. And by sick, I mean deathly sick. In the ten years I have been at CSOPA I do not think I can remember a time where he
