Hello, we made it. We are here, Lincoln Nebraska, for the International Thespian Festival but
a busy day, lots of driving. We have set up our table. All our wares are lovingly displayed
and we have got our little badges. Love the badges. Exhibitor, guest artist because there
is also workshops. I have my handy dandy door signs, these will be put on the doors, handily
enough. Wait a minute the door signs are signs for
the doors? You know some times the most simplest explanations
are the ones that make the most sense. So I am doing Fresh Cement, Writing Your First
Play, Dynamite Dialogue and The Best Acting Individual Event Ever and this is very apropos
because I am also adjudicating individual events. Tonight I have to go to adjudicator's
meeting and tomorrow I will be judging two blocks of 3 hours of monologues, monologues
and more monologs and the great thing about judging at the International Thespian Festival
is that all the students who participate in the individual events they had to get superior
marks at their state level. So I am seeing the best of the best, the creme de la creme,
I’ll let you all know how it goes tomorrow. And last thing that I will show you is the
coveted Thespian Festival Program and what’s all about this is just how, you do not know
how jam packed this festival is until you just see everything that’s available. There
is meetings for people who are interested in all kinds of... there's meetings for scholarships.
Look how many pages it takes me to get to the... there’s shows and workshops and more
shows and more workshops, full lengths, one acts. Its just jam packed of theatre activities
and I say time and time again, boy do I wish I was able to attend this when I was in high
school, would have loved it to the nth degree and I love seeing how much fun the students
have here this week. So everybody's bright eyed and bushy tailed, we are just getting
started. Day 1 almost done, we’ll talk to you tomorrow. Buh bye!
