Tich Miller goes on tour to Cork..

Last Saturday, everyone who was part of the drama 'Tich Miller' headed to Macroom in Cork for the All Ireland Final of the Briery Gap Drama Competition. There were 14 of us that went altogether and we were all excited to do the performance! We had met up a few times over the week of work experience to perfect our performance and sort everything out.
We met up at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning and headed off to Cork. The journey took longer than we all expected but time passed pretty quickly. We arrived in the theatre around 2 o'clock and we were brought to our dressing room. The judges were on a break when we arrived which was good because it meant we were able to have a run through of the play on the stage! The judge was one of the actors from Fair City which was good, even though he's not very 'famous!'
We all got our costumes on and got ready and then we were called to perform. It went so quickly and before we knew it, the curtains were closed and re-opened for our bow. I thought it went really well and we were all really happy with our performance!

We then got food in a local take-a-way called Chip Bar (what a smart name! Gettit? Say Chip Bar quickly and it sounds like chipper! haha) and then it was time to leave again :(
On the bus home we watched PS I Love You and Harry Potter ! The journey didnt seem as long, maybe because of the pitstop in Mcdonalds for ice cream...

We didn't win anything but we were all still really happy even to have gotten to the All Ireland Final! Overall it was a great day.

Cork here we come!

Well last week we found out my groups drama 'Tich Miller' got through to the finals of the Briary Gap competition in Cork! We were all so shocked because we weren't expecting to get through at all. Our drama was very last minute and we changed our idea so many times.
Its taking place on 3rd of March which is the Saturday after our week of work experience. I'm really looking forward to it but we're going to have to put in a lot work between then and now!

Well done to all the other dramas though, they were all really good :)

Yesterday all TY's went to Mullingar for a drama competition. The last time I blogged our play was about a war, wow did that change! With four days to go, our group decided to change our play totally but I think it was definitely for the best.
Our play was based around the poem Tich Miller by Wendy Cope. Click here for a link to read the poem. Everyone really got into character and I think it went pretty well! The poem deals with the theme of bullying which was portrayed well. I was a bully in the play and in case you're wondering the title of this blog is a line I had to say!
The three other plays from our school were really good, even though I didn't get to see them because my group were last to perform.

Well done everyone!
