Well today we went on a trip to mullingar, as the other two TY classes were entered in the little competition of short plays . So Fódla the supportive class we are went to be a great audience, lucky enough we dedicated an english class over one day to 'how to be a good audience' so at this stage we were pros! very supportive and gave great advice through rehearsals :)
Anyway, We left the school at 9 and got onto the bus and headed to mullingar (fódla on the small bus once again) it took an hour to get there but with a few tunes and a good chat we were there! Everyone was so nervous about their plays so we just stood there saying the reassuring words 'you'll be fine' or 'break a leg' (its bad luck to wish good luck!)
So after we dumped the bags we walked into a big blue theatre with lots of seats and a lovely black scary stage! At this stage fódla were glad to be the audience for the day.
after 15 minutes of quick rehearsals from the other classes and our class tired of shouting 'we cant hear you!' it finally got kicked off, and the judge for the day walked in, and it was SHOWTIME! :D
So the plays...
I loved all the plays, there was one about bullying and the effects on teenage drama such as underage pregnancies, cheating, and non trust worthy people, and drugs.
One based on the poem 'Timity Withers' go Vicky and Niamh!
one based on a poem about death of a 4 year old child
One based on a song.
So there was a lot, after all of our plays we headed to mcdonalds for a bit to eat and interesting conversation!
Then we saw one more play, if im totally honest I didnt have a clue what it was about! but was funny :)
A bus trip back home and we were done! Such a great day, and wish the girls all the best in the results :) ooh and thanks to the teachers for bringing us!
