First time in the 48

I decided to start off this year by doing something scary. Perform in one of the Idiom's cherished traditions: the 48-hour Theater Festival. This weekend was number 40, and 41.

Here's how it works.

Six teams and a theme are drawn on Friday night.Each team’s writer writes a ten-minute script on the theme overnight, and delivers it to their director and actors on Saturday morning. 

The teams have only the morning and afternoon to rehearse, memorize and gather costumes, props, and music before performing the scripts twice that night.

That first night audience picks the theme for the second night, the teams are re-drawn, and the whole cycle of insanity begins anew.

Here we are, Friday night, at the potluck team and theme drawing.

 The first theme of the festival is "Through a Straw" (this links to the youtube video of the whole show).

 Here we are after the end of the first night. The final play ended with dumping poop on a gals head. Classy.

Sunday night, more shows, and more lines for Della! Super hilarious play though... "Politics" (this links to the youtube video of the whole show, HERE's the link to the 9:30 show).

 I'm so happy I decided to do this, though it was definitely scary, and pushed my self-confidence. I met a bunch of awesome people, and had a super fun time. Yay 48! Yay for me!
