13 ways to Screw Up Your College Interview
The young man sitting behind the desk left off explaining the many programs at the college, and commented on how quiet the girl sitting in the seat in front of him had been during the interview. The girl sat very still, her face pale, her eyes staring. Suddenly, she lurched from her seat and liquid spewed out of her mouth and all over both the man and his cluttered desk.
"I don't feel so well." she mumbled as she stumbled out of the man's office and off the stage. The audience gasped and erupted into laughter and applause as the lad remaining on stage searched for a dry sweater to change into.
This was Hannah's first appearance in the one act play, "13 Ways to Screw Up Your College Interview", which the rest of the family got to watch last night. Other interviewees in the play included an incompetent magician, a drama queen, the star of a documentary, a sleepy kid who dreams of being in a coma, and someone suffering from a rare condition in which he misunderstands any question asked, and therefore returns hilariously inappropriate answers. In the other scene in which Hannah appears, while listing a number of extra curricular interests, she mentions "practicing vampire" leading to an entertaining discussion about her aspirations to some day become a real vampire, and her stomping off, insulted by the interviewer's ignorance of "real" vampires. The entire play brought lots of laughs and was great fun.
Other one-act plays that were performed last night included one titled "The Nobody" which was written by students and addressed the issues of bullying and suicide. Another was a rendition of Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice, entitled "Darcy and Elizabeth". A play entitled "Broken But Not Torn" was reminiscent of a Shakespearean comedy with intricate twists of plot as a young woman found herself engaged to marry two men, brothers, the next morning, only to discover that they weren't brothers after all, and also that her own family was twice as large as she thought it was.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the talents of the youth at the high school perform in these student directed one act plays.
