Yes, this is going to be my last blog post for Ms.Guarino’s class. Well there so many things I have learned from this class over my years, but there is one thing that showed us as a class what is theater all about. I remember watching my very first monologue recording, and I was laughing so hard because I would not accept it to be my final draft as senior John Jiang, but freshman John Jiang was pretty happy I got all my lines right. However, the senior John Jiang cannot remember his lines as well as the freshman did!
Yes, I forgot a line on stage, and yes I thought I had the lines solid! While I was all emotional and sad about my last acting class, my head had a blackout, so I forgot a line in my song which I remembered the best “I will be tender, I will be gentle and awful sentimental!” See, I do remember this line, but I forgot it anyway. I was so lucky that I was playing a tin man, so I just stayed still as if I ran out of oil which gave me about solid 3 seconds to think about my line, but I could not anyway. I just sang the line I can remember with all the confidence I can find at the moment, so it looked like I knew what I was doing.
These are the moments represent theater and life. Sometimes, no matter how prepared you are, things could happen which can lead us into what we would never expect. However, we cannot stop and be so sad and let everyone know because the show needs to go on and our lives need to go on! I think now I am truly ready to move on from what I have now because I need to better myself like I did when I was a freshman. Now, I will start as a freshman again in college chasing my dream and passion!
