A-Trium: Table of Authors
One play captures the greatest of love stories from three corners of globe. Travelling through infinite strands of time, over the courses of mysticism and reality, and across the vast pages of literature, we present to you: three muses, three writers, three couples. Get ready to be enticed and captured, and feel the most ardent and passionate feeling among all - love!
During the preparation process, I can say that there were a lot of troubles, at least more than I expected and hoped there would be. As the roles were assigned and the script was distributed, we tried to familiarize ourselves to the play, which was innovative and creative, but therefore hard-to-understand and difficult-to-adapt-quickly. I personally wanted our play to be a famous comedy because our classmates were good in making people laugh, because people would understand the story even if the voices couldn't be heard (in case there are some problems with the sound system), and because a comedy would have an organized plot with a clear ending--unlike the hanging conclusion of our new play. To be frank, starting from this point, I was not contented very much with what we had to do. But this wasn't the end of my stress because it seemed as if we didn't have enough time for practice and even those rarely-held practices weren't done seriously and progressed very slowly (or should I say, didn't even have any obvious improvement). Even worse, time flied so fast and the date for our performance approached very quickly. It was only a few days before the final show but more than half of the people weren't prepared either with their costumes or with their props. Lights and Sound were also not ready. At this extremely annoying period, we argued very often and this made me worry if it was possible for this play to turn out to be great.
However, there was no need (at all!) for me to worry. Things started to become more organized. People became more responsible and ready. One helped out for another's problem and the rest also followed. I noticed that, although not everyone might have recognized it, we were being united by trust and friendship. Some may say that I am overestimating one simple, normal preparation process, but for me, this was one great, memorable experience as a whole class, grade 10A. Honestly, I was very moved and surprised by how we could really work as a team and was grateful to be a part of this amazing group of people. Because of this strong (and maybe unrecognized) bond, I think, things got better (except when we put our final make-ups on hahaha). And when the time finally came, at the backstage, we cheered each other up for the last time.
Maybe our support really did work, because each and every one of us really could pull off his or her best! I think this precious group effort was the reason why our play was the best play of the day, and by this I mean we literally won the "Best Play" Award! :) Moreover, Best Actor and Best Actress(which was surprisingly me! YAY :D) also came from our class! I was so happy that we received these awards, especially because it seemed like those represented how hard we worked and how well we did to show how really deserved them! (although I understand that others worked hard too, but yeah. :) ) But I was even more proud and pleased that we didn't just act, but we rather shared our play 'together' as more skillful actors, as more mature and developed individuals, and as a better group of friends. This event was absolutely worth all the pain, troubles, and back-breaking effort, not just because of what we materialistically received, but also and more importantly because of what we learned and became. This year's Play Fest wasn't just a simple school event, but most probably one of the most unforgettable teenage memories I will ever have. :)
To my classmates, teachers, and other supporters, thank you again for everything! All these were possible because you were there!
On March 26, the lights were on, cameras were set, and our time to show some actions came. Nervous yet ready, we stood under the bright spotlight, spoke as the microphone echoed our voices, and shared our stories by communicating to the audience. Without realizing, we have successfully showcased our proud play, A-Trium: Table of Authors.
I can still remember the day when the concept our play was first introduced and our biggest concern was to decide the final title of our play. (We had very creative titles that we even thought of "Bibim-Japtang-Halo-Halo Story".) At that moment, I wasn't aware of (couldn't even imagine, rather,) what this play could possibly turn out to be.
