it was raining in the park

There was a lot of rain and a little thunder but we still had our picnic on Monday. Attendance was very good considering the weather. The picnic is always a good chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones, too, as several of the first-year theatre students were in attendance. The first-years seemed to fit in great and are already looking forward to a great year in their new school.

We are looking forward to a great year, too, in addition to working with them for the first time as they are friendly and very talented.

The officers conducted their first Thespian meeting of the year after dinner. They played some fun theatre games that included everyone and talked about a few of the plans for the coming Thespian year. Those plans will be spelled out here in the coming weeks as we and your thespian officers blog more regularly about our activities.

We have also asked two members of the cast of the Scottish play to blog here about rehearsals of the Scottish play, or "M" as we sometimes call it. So this blog space will be a good place to come and peek behind the closed doors of the rehearsal hall. I will post their remarks as soon as I receive them. I am looking forward to reading their thoughts about rehearsal and the play as it develop over the next 6 weeks.

Feel free to submit an entry of your own if you have somethng interesting or exciting to write about.
