   My Macbeth "Critique" Which I'm Sending to American Player's Theatre

Play wonderland online! Dear APT,

Greetings! I am a senior at Xavier High School. This means that the fates shone kindly upon me, and I was blessed enough to be able to see your production of Macbeth on Wednesday, September 7th. Contained within this letter is my humble assessment of your piece, which I hope you receive warmly.
I dare say that I had my doubts at first. An outdoor theatre? With distractions such as planes, and birds, and other foul beasts? Me thought any possible riot may occur. However, I was happily pleased. Your stage is immaculate and your setting…beautiful. Your outdoor atmosphere provides so much that an indoor stage never could. Me thinks the only wrongdoing would be vinyl seats, which are apt to become very hot and sticky.
The costumes and props (or lack there of) surprised me. These only served to bring out your wonderful acting even more. Even without backdrops, I had an eerie suspicion, that, with each scene, I was taken to a new location. The costumes, though with a modern twist, seemed to fit in well. I was very pleased with the kilts. Thou art very true to Scottish heritage, insightful director. Each family had their own tartan, which served not only to help the viewer remember who was connected to whom, but also to remain true to the Scottish background of the piece. Arigotou gozai-masu! (Thank you very much!) I was also impressed by the blood. Wonderful director, you made the blood more realistic with the different shades and, it seems, thickness. Being a diabetic, I see blood more often than not, and this may seem strange, but I am quite intrigued by it. Blood is a wonderful, beautiful thing, and I would have been quite disappointed to see a simple splash of thin light-red liquid.
I was also happily impressed with the actor’s grasp of the Shakespearian language. I came home speaking in tongues, and I am still inclined to do so from time to time. The overall performances were simply amazing! I must thank Ms. Angelo for bringing depth of character to Lady Macbeth. I was taken aback by her outstanding performance. I wish I had the time to say more, or to write a letter to each and every actor to tell them what a wonderful job they did. However, I find time eludes me, as it does everyone. When constrained with time, one forgets the words one so wants to say. I am afraid that this critique of sorts does not do the performance justice! I must say though, that I was floored by the talent of a caliber I did not expect to find.
Fare thee well, players, and continue to give thy best in the future! As you face this unknown, do so with courage and confidence!



Yeah, I wish I could have spent more time and made this letter AMAZING but...oh...time...

   I FOUND IT!!!

Play wonderland online! I found it, I found it, I found it!!! I found the forensics piece that superham99, our friend Cali-Kun and myself want to perform!!! I FOUND IT!!!

on a sad note...I have first hour off of school but it looks like I'll have to be there anyway...I may get in trouble for loitering...*being around the school when I'm off*

I also have to quit a lot of my clubs because my brother doesn't want to stay for an extra 1/2 hour to an hour after school. THIS SUCKS!! I mean, this is my last year!!! and my brother is always a total smart-butt to me!!!

I'm sorry to complain T_T
but if any of you are friends w/Hiroko-Kun...do you think you could try and convince him that staying after school is not so bad, especially since he is supposed to practice typing after school? I put a lot of effort into my school, taking part in every activity I can. This is my last year and I want to be able to spend a little extra time with the friends I'll no longer see as well as have the basis for a good college resume.

...still working hard on my story btw...

oh!
today is Sept 8, 2005
tomorrow is Hiroko-Kun's 15th bday...go wish him happy bday!!!
tomorrow is also my cousin's wedding...

music mood: carpenters

english/writing mood: story (aka alternate personalities) and SHAKESPEARE!!!

Speaking of which, the play yesterday was awesome!!! It was HOT but still awesome!!! and there was the most SUGOI storm on the way home!!!!!

Fare thee well, fellow otakuians!

   Sad but understandable tidings...

Play wonderland online! Kamenki is leaving myO

Can't say I blame her, I've thought of it many times myself. She has an insanely busy school schedule and just got a new job as a lifeguard at the YMCA *whoot!* so she just feels bogged down!! I dare say that she is doing much better than me in reality while I stick to my somewhat harsh dream world...I'd talk more, but I have no time...I have to see a therapist about it...anyways, please go visit Kamenki one last time and wish her good luck on all her endevors!!

We all love you "mysterious black kat"

   Yeah...

Play wonderland online! Yesterday and Today were both exhausting!!! but at least I'm on the road to getting better...can't say I'm happy that I have to get an MRI though...

tonight I have to drop off more applications and buy school suplies...zzzzz

Today was the first day of school for me, Tora-Chan (superham99), darknessknight, and Kamenki...yeah, if it wasn't obvious by now, we all go to school together...along w/Hiroko-Kun...

Kamenki and I are official seniors with off-campus priveliages and....WE'RE GOING TO SEE MACBETH NEXT WED!!!

I would talk more about it, but I'm falling asleep...wonder how I got so exhausted??? It's only 5:30....

Oh dear...

   I can’t take it anymore, I just can’t!!!

Play wonderland online! I’m sorry to use this opportunity to complain, but I just can’t stand this anymore!! I am so sick of doctors, I just wish…no, I don’t wish I could die, but still! Look at my day tomorrow:

8:00 AM Appointment with a BRAND-NEW Neurologist to get scary tests done T.T
9:30 AM Appointment with a BRAND-NEW Family Doctor to talk about BRAND-NEW treatment methods.
11:45-1:00 School Orientation and Student ID picture taken
1:30 Appointment to get Ultrasound done…T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T T.T
2:00 Second appointment with BRAND-NEW OB/GYN to discuss results of Ultra-Sound.
3:00 Choir Practice (and I have a really sore throat T.T)

I’M SO SICK OF DOCTORS I WANT TO SPIT AND NOW I HAVE TO GO TO ALL THESE NEW ONES AND THEY KEEP PUTTING ME ON MORE AND MORE POWERFUL MEDS!!! I HATE THIS!!! For the most part, I’m anti-medicine so this all sucks!! And my mind is swimming!! I am praying with all my might that the female Mabudachi Trio is able to get together after all that junk tomorrow otherwise…I MAY DO SOMETHING DRASTIC!!!

……………….still filling out job applications and just found out all the colleges I like supposedly aren’t good colleges for me…now I’m even more lost than before!! I know it’s between music, English, and becoming a sister…I just wish one of them would sound like the right thing! I don’t know where I’m going in life and it scares me. I’m really sorry that I’m always complaining on here; I shouldn’t do that. I’m starting to think again, that maybe it would be better to leave MyO, distance myself from my friends, and devote my life to school. That way I don’t have to weigh anyone down with my burdens. I should just be on my own anyway.

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb, I touch no one and no one touches me.
But in hiding, am I like a child?

I think that children hide their bodies, but Adults hide their soul. That’s what I think.

I should shut up now, I should have a long time ago, but I will now. Thanks. Bye.

   Um...Don't Remember...^_^;;

Play wonderland online! Yeah, what was it??? Oh!

So, my doctor told me I have some carpel tunnel...but once again, another doctor told me to see an adult neurologist...which I technically can't do for just under 7 months!!!! Otherwise, I just have viruses...so basically, suck it up and deal ><

Um...what else? *short attention span* Oh, I work for theatre today from 2 until 5:30 and then go to a school potluck from 5:30 until 6:30...still working on that yearbook entry Tora-Chan! *sweat drop*

Yeah...so busy!!! I have orientation on Wed and then school Thurs...I probably won't really be on here at all!!! Sorry!!!

Oh yeah...if anyone wants to contact me...they can e-mail me at mokimo_cia@hotmail.com

   Earlier Post

Play wonderland online! I set up an appointment with a doctor tomorrow as far as my sinus/throat goes...I also set up my new e-mail account though I will only be able to check it at the library once in awhile until my internet's fixed...

I lost control of my hand again today and the numbness is back with a vengence! I hope the neurologist figures something out...please pray for me.

Also, keep PyroPrincess and Kamenki in your thoughts and prayers...they are uber busy!!!

And...Tora-Chan (superham99) is sick so please go pay her a visit and wish her health!

Well, I've got to rest...working on my "book" a lot too...should I insert a part? But I'm afraid people might be confused...

****************************************Part to put in later/*****************************************************

Atashina: Cia? May I speak with Hinoto through you?
Cia: *turns towards her with a smile* You can do that?
Atashina: Yes, I should be able to. If I just place my hands over your shoulders, I should be able to make my way into her soul room…
Cia: I trust you Atashina-San. Do whatever you feel is necessary.
Atashina: *places her hands on Cia’s shoulders and closes her eyes, sending energy forth from her body into Cia’s*
Cia: *closes her eyes and allows her body to be taken over…*
Atashina: Oto?
Hinoto: *runs up to Atashina and places her arms around her; nuzzles Atashina’s neck/chin w/her chin* Shina! It’s been so long since you’ve called me by that name! Too long!
Atashina: Oto, I’ve been thinking…
Hinoto: *attempts to laugh, having the feeling she knows where this is going and avoiding it* You shouldn’t do that you know, Shina.
Atashina: Why is it? Out of the humans, I care for you so much, yet despise all others as you do? Oto, you were human—why is it you hate your own species so much?
Hinoto: *slackens* All humans do is destroy--everything beautiful around them—even themselves. Humans have no respect.
Atashina: Hinoto…perhaps it would just be best if you spoke with Epsy-Kun?
Hinoto: *pulls away* Kira and I have nothing to talk about!
Atashina: You still refuse to call him by his true name? Hinoto, you cannot keep this up for much longer. Your vessel is very weak. She keeps smiling, but I know that she is failing.
Hinoto: .....you have grown affectionate towards this human, have you not?
Atashina: As have you. She is so unique, ne? Why is it that you choose her Oto?
Hinoto: She…she is…like I used to be, many years ago. That is why you love her, yes?
Atashina: No, she is her own person.
Hinoto: But she understands…about the humans. It hurts her to see them destroy; it pains her that her species can be so ignorant. She wishes she could stop them. Does she not know how small she is?
Atashina: Of course she does and it pains her constantly! But she, unlike you and me, would never kill, never cause pain in order to achieve what she thinks is right! You are stooping down to their level Hinoto! You can not betray what you are! You are a human!
Hinoto: *collapses on the ground, sobbing* No, I’m not! I’m not!
Atashina: *bends down and starts stroking Hinoto’s hair* You are, Oto, you are.
Hinoto: *looks up* But…
Atashina: I still love you Oto, but you cannot betray your species. Talk to Epsy-Kun before your anger destroys this world…again. *stands up and turns to leave*
Hinoto: Sh…Shina, I…wait!
Atashina: *turns back towards Hinoto, angry and pained* I will not live through it again, Oto! If you cause it again I will stop loving you! I will never forget the pain and anguish—the screaming voices pleading for the help I could not give!
Hinoto: Shina! *crying, starts to reach her arm towards Atashina, stops herself and brings it back to her side, looks down* I…I will ask Cia to speak my words to Epsy. I cannot…take over for her body you know…as you can with Catriana, or as Melody can with Ana.
Atashina: I know. *lifts up Hinoto’s head* It will be alright Oto, I promise.
Hinoto: .....
Atashina: Let Cia rest as much as you can. Her young one…
Hinoto: I know. I wish…I could be with you again, Shina, in my own form.
Atashina: I know, Oto, I know. But I must leave you now, and you must let Cia rest. Do not speak to her about Epsy-Kun until tomorrow. We can wait…that long.
Hinoto: Goodbye again, Shina.
Atashina: *fades away, pulling herself out of Cia’s consciousness*
Hinoto: *bent over, crying softly*
Atashina: Goodbye, Oto. There, that is accomplished. *looks to Cia’s body*
Cia: *falls backward onto the bed, passed out*
Atashina: *gently places Cia on her bed and places a blanket over her* There, now that this is over I must let Yasha regain control…pity, I feel restless. I wish I could spend more time in this form…
Melody: *walks into the room* Atashina?
Atashina: *taken aback* Melody? Why has your form been awakened?
Melody: I sensed that you were somehow speaking with Hinoto. *jiving* Have you pleaded with her then?
Atashina: *ignoring* I simply asked her to speak with Epsy-Kun.
Melody: *laughs* You expect her to calm down and have a nice little chat with him? You, of all creatures, should know that Hinoto’s temper is her downfall. Her tantrums have caused the end of the world before, it can happen again.
Atashina: Do not think of things you don’t understand!
Melody: ///_?
Atashina: You know that you and Hinoto were never as close as you’d like me to believe!
Melody: Well, I do wonder about you two sometimes… I feel I’d just be in the way…
Atashina: .....
Melody: …*knowing she crossed a barrier* What did Hinoto say?
Atashina: She agreed to let Cia speak with Epsy-Kun.
Melody: In that case, let’s let our other forms resume control. There’s nothing we can do once Hinoto’s made up her mind. *changes back into Tora*
Atashina: *changes back into Yasha*
Tora: Are you alright Yasha-Chan?
Yasha: Yeah, I feel a bit weak, but okay. You?
Tora: uh-huh I was surprised that Melody was so controlling for a bit there though.
Yasha: Atashina said it was urgent. I think she tried to speak with Hinoto-San through Cia’s body.
Tora: That would be why she’s passed out then?
Yasha: *sits down on Cia’s bed and strokes her hair* Yeah…
Tora: *sits down on opposite side of bed* I’m surprised at you Yasha-Chan.
Yasha: *looks up, already knowing the answer* Why?
Tora: I’d expect you to be freaking out by now.
Yasha: What can I do about it?? Something seriously bad is going on in the world again, like the last time Atashina and Melody needed to use their powers. Only this time, Hinoto-San’s in the mix so it will probably be even worse…scratch that, it will definitely be worse.
Tora: …I just thought…
Yasha: I love Cia but there’s nothing I can do about it right now ne? Besides, it seems kinder to have her passed out…then she doesn’t have to be dealing with all this quite yet, does she?

(it's uber confusing, yet I put it in anyway)

OH YEAH, BEFORE I FORGET!!! I WENT TO MY ALL TIME FAV STORE TODAY AND FOUND THE PERFECT HOMECOMING DRESS AND EARINGS AND NECKLACE ALL TOGETHER FOR $30 WHOOT!!! I ALSO FOUND AN AWESOME JACKET THAT WAS ORIGINALLY $26 BUT 40% OFF...I ALSO GOT AN APPLICATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHOOT! WHOOT! WHOOT!

more details later, but I've got to rest...I went to sleep feeling dead, woke up feeling dead...and then.............................
kept myself uber busy all day!!!

WHOOT!
