Julius Caesar

A few weeks ago my middle school had our annual spring play. We did Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. It was a shortened version, but it was still Shakespeare's original words. I played the part of Portia, Brutus's wife. We had so much fun rehearsing and putting on the play. My teacher has two actor friends who came and helped us stage the play and it's been amazing to watch God in their lives.

Anyway, here I am with Brutus. Don't we look very Roman?

This was the first part of the performance, where we recited poems from the second part of the year (we had a winter feast) and talked about some of the terms we had learned.

Here's another picture of me with Brutus, it's really bad quality because it was a snapshot of a video. But it's still the best picture of me lighting wise.

Here are Brutus's troops marching off stage. I'm the curly head.

And the battle between Mark Antony/Octavius and Brutus/Cassius.
Death. Blood. Swords. Death.

The final bow.

Zaz hanging with the "big guys" afterwards. I love this picture.

Jenni and I, who is my sister-in-law through the play.

I had so much fun doing the play and I'm sad that I won't be able to do one next year. But I'm so glad that I did at least one!

And for the first time, I feel like taking more drama classes at some point. It's fun!
