Hello everyone...
I just wanted to tell all of you how amazing you are. And I'm serious. Don't tell yourself that I'm talking about "the other Semmies," because I'm not...I'm talking to you--the person reading this.
Right after I got back from the Seminar I immediately wanted to turn back time and do it all over again. It was so much fun! But of course you all know that.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you--every single one of you--and that I really miss last summer!!! If a couple of you are ever near Redding, California, please email me. It's an hour and a half from my house--the nearest I have to civilization, but I'd make the trip for any one of you! kelsey_qt@yahoo.com
I miss you guys dang it!

Hello Live Journal Semmies,
It's been a while since I, or anyone, has posted something here. I have a show coming up in March it's our special project. At my high school we switch off every other year and either do a show about homophobia call The Kiss or a show about AIDS called Names and Faces. This year is Names and Faces, and I'm cast in it (Hana's SM). The show opens on the 7th of March and we do evening show on the 8th and 9th too. Also on the 9th we have performances during classes for the rest of the school. If anyone could come to one of the evening performances I would be so happy. I know that from seeing it before that its a great show, and that our cast has some amazing people in it. If you want to or think you could come I'll let you know more of the details.
Miss you Love you

[Sep. 29th, 2006|04:45 pm] |
here's the deal:
Heather and I go to the same school, and it turns out that the drama program is probably going to not be around after this year. We're looking for reccomendations of good shows that we can suggest so we can send the program out with a bang.
Just keep in mind:
We live in a conservative and rather rednecked town, and there isn't a very huge talent pool to draw from.
We need your help and we trust you guys because you're all the best!
Much love,
Thanks.

Okay so you know how we discussed all of that small drama program vs. large drama program stuff?
Well Dallas is teeny-tiny conservative.
And our fall play is Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley.
Understand: this play is NOT a bad play. Besides being Pulitzer prize-winning, it's really quite a fantastic story of some women who have problems- just like real life.
So I beat out like, 25 other girls to win a part in this small cast (4 women, 2 men) and I am cast as Meg MaGrath.
And of course all hell breaks loose.
Because, Meg is basically a badass rebel who sleeps around and drinks and smokes.
And this play (for those of you familiar with it) has some serious themes going on- suicide, racism, murder, and adultery to name a few.
But high schools do it all the time- because it's a GREAT play.
So word gets out about this 'horribly immoral' show and parents are buzzing and our directors are getting crap (for those of you who don't know- Blair from the Seminar is my drama teacher- her and her husband are directing this show).
and now there's all this extra drama we have to deal with before we even start the show!
Ironically, my parents are the ones responsible for heading up this religious anti-Crimes of the Heart bandwagon- they have already made me take out ALL of my swearing (and swearing to them includes saying God, Jesus, hell, and damn).
So imagine, if you will- playing this rebel role of Meg, and not being able to use the rebel words that the playwright has given you to use- my job as an actor just became 5000 times harder.
Just know that things are going really rough for me right now, acting is so important to me because it's what I want to do for the rest of my life- and having to go through this is just KILLING the experience.
Keep me in your thoughts,
Erin P. |

Hey everyone!
One day has not past where I have not thought of all of you. I find myself rambling about you to the people in my drama class.
I'm writing for a couple of reasons. The first is that I got cast as Elizabeth in The Crucible which I am thrilled about. Before I auditioned, I thought about all of you and imagined the huge web of connection we have and I instantly felt loved and supported.
The other reasons I am writing is because we are going to, or have already started, applying to colleges, and I just want to wish you a stress-less application process. I know that probably is impossible, but I hope you all remember that you are extraordinary people and I am so thankful that I know all of you.
Jeez, that was a bit mushy. Anyway, how are peoples' dramatic endeavors going?
Much love,
Rebecca H. |

Hello everybody!!!
I was just contemplating my, well, life in general. and i feel weird, because senior year is supposed to be, like earth-shattering, and so far, mine is just the same old crap. weird. anywho... what led me to finally log on here was that my english class is taking a little field trip to ashland this coming weekend,(i'm psyched to see cyrano, earnest, and jekyll and hyde again), and i now associate ashland with all of your faces. anyways, i luv luv luv you all, i know ashland won't be the same without you. but comparison is the base of all unhappiness, and with you all in my thoughts and heart, i'm sure it will be even better than before i met y'all. hugs

Hi everybody! I started school on Wednesday and just spent the last few days dressing like a serial killer/ hobo in the mountains (near Mammoth Lakes). Yay for backpacking.
So, good stuff has happened. I got cast in a small one act play and the director from that has asked me to audition for her next play that she's doing, which is with an actual semi-professional theatre company in San Jose. They're doing the Vagina Monologues. Whee.
Thats about it for me. I miss you all and desperately want a phone call from a Semmie at some god-awful hour. Like, right now.
Love,
Mara |

Every year Portland Actor's Ensemble performs a Shakespeare play in 6 different parks around the Portland area over the course of 6 weeks. This year they did Merry Wives of Windsor (and a friend of mine from school was in it) so...including OSF, I have now seen merry wives 3 times.
...therefor, I have just one word for you all...
cuckold
Much love (and lots of cuckoldness),

So Hi all Live Journal Semmies,
I noticed that it's been just a little over a month since we met. And 2 or 3 weeks since we last saw eachother.
Any one have a good back at home story?
Love you all

Well hello everyone! I've adored all the emails and posts you've been writing, so decided that I should join in on the fun! It's kind of weird...after I got back from the seminar I didn't really want to talk about it. It was like it was ours, and only ours, and for a little while there was so much buzzing around in my head that if someone asked "Did you have fun?" my only answer was "oh definitely" and I would essentially stop there.
Maybe I subconsciously wanted to keep it a secret...to make sure it sank in before I raved about it...I'm not sure. But I suppose whatever the reason I didn't want to talk about it was the same reason I was hanging back and keeping my thoughts to myself for a few weeks.
You know what's suddenly making me write this though, at 1:15 in the morning? It's pretty simple (not some revelation that emerged from days of self meditation)...I miss you. I just watched a movie where a man and a woman in love were torn apart and it threw me right back to the Romeo and Juliet workshop, and from there my mind just spun.
I thought about how terrible it would be if I left town this weekend (I'm going camping) without even saying hello to all the astonishing people who made Ashland so memorable for me. And now I know why it's taken me until now to contact all of you...it wasn't urgent yet, I had to wait until I felt like I really had something to say (but now that the door is open I might not be quiet :-P). So, hello. My goodness, are you magnificent or what?
Love,
Cassie |

All right, today was crazy.
so, as you all know, Travis has been in that little state we call Texas, so today was the first time that we'd really hung out since Seminar. So we decide that (since he works concessions at OSF) we'd go see if we could get comps to anything. So we go to the company box office, and who's standing in front of us, getting King John comps?
Joan Langley.
so we say hi, have a few minutes of forced awkward conversation, then she goes. We check on comps, then walk out to the bricks. We run into another Ashland High sctor, who works on the Green Show. We're talking to her, then we turn around, and guess who's there?
Kendra!
so we say hi, talk, go to the Tudor Guild, then after she leaves, we go to Starbucks. We fill up on blended highly caffinated drinks, then decide to go to the library and check out a massive number of plays to read in our last couple weeks before school (since I'm going to Canada, and Trav has nothing better to do). So we're walking along, and guess who we see?
Hillary Tate.
So we say hi, chat for a short bit, then continue on, deciding that if we see another Seminar-related person, we're going to flip out.
We get into the library, proceed directly upstairs (where the plays are located), and we see....one of last year's Ashland Semmies.
So we flipped out.
That's a crazy coincedence, even for a small town like ours.
Just thought I ramble about that a bit to you all...
lots of love. I'll have my laptop in Canada, so I should be in contact. Hope all's well for everyone.
Love,
Erin |
