Now I know that as all of you were reading the blog about Brandon there were many questions that you had. Some of these may have been "Who is that kid?" "Was Scott like that when he was a child?" or possibly even "Does he realize that it's 2008, not 1988?" Well, I'm afraid I can't answer any of those questions for you, but I know there had to be one more questiong lingering in your minds - "What about Bethany?!?!?" Thankfully, your answer has arrived!
As many of you know, there are really only two school related activities which occupy mos
t of my time - swimming and theatre. I suppose I'll start with swimming.... Last Monday (March 31) we had the Northgate swim team 07-08 banquet. It was a very nice banquet and we had some very yummy mexican food - I even managed not to look like a complete slob while eating! Though I had to dress up, not a common activity of mine, I had a lot of fun getting to hang out with the team one last time. I have to admit, it was pretty sad seeing all of our great seniors leave :(

Last Tuesday (April 1), the Backstage Players (Northgate's theatre group) put on a performance of student directed shows. The program included 2 skits, 2 songs, and 3 monologues. I directed a scene from Truman Capote's novel In Cold Blood (an absolutely splendid book I would highly recomend) which is about two men who murder an average family of four in Kansas. The scene I chose was the interrogation of the two murderers. I had a little difficulty in casting, considering the cast was made up of 6 men and the Northgate theatre department is prodominately women. After casting the show with 3 guys and 3 girls (2 of which were acting as men), one of my actors fell through, so I ended up performing (as a man) in my own scene. I must say, though the process was very frustrating with losing cast members and show dates constantly changing, it was a great experience for me and gave me a better understanding for directing.... oh and I learned how to be a man! Haha
Well, that's all I have for now.... iHasta luego!
