my one-woman show

So as a deal the other day I had to put on a one-woman show of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The deal was if my friend bought me a large, very nice smelling candle I would have to act out the movie all on my own. One of the last weeks of the fall semester he surprised everyone by buying the candle and told me I had to or else!! I don't really remember what I had to do if I failed to recreate the masterpiece but I know it was scary so I kept it in the back of my mind all winter break. We had a long weekend because Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day so I planned for the first part to be that night. I set up a stage area, got my props together, and watched the first half of the movie to prepare. I definitely forgot how long the movie is. Also, I forgot how much actually goes on. I guess when you want to recreate something you have to pay attention to absolutely everything. The first half of the play went great! I got lots of laughs and everyone who watched approved. My favorite part was recreating the scene in Dumbledore's office when Harry sees the phoenix Fawks burst into flames then rise again out of the ashes. I used my Screech pillow pet as a replacement for the phoenix and had him turn into a pillow then back into his pet stage. Yes, I am very clever.

Tomorrow night will be the second half and I am expecting a few more spectators. It's going to be a fun time. I'll post how it goes on Friday.

I hope your day was magical!

Until next time,

Caroline
