Before I
turned 14 and was eligible (again) for the ANLO scheme, I went to the theater
less frequently (due to the price), and when we did go it was to big shows. I
have been going to the theater since a very young age and instead of posting
boring things about shows I don't remember very well, I have decided to write
one post detailing all the things I have been to see and maybe a few things
about them. Here goes....
(By the way they won't be in order as i don't have a clue
when some of them were),
I think the first things I went to see at the theater were
little plays in the Drum Theater in Plymouth. They were put on especially for
very young children (ie, age 6 and below) and included things such as Peter
Pan. I briefly remember a scene from one which was set in the antarctic and
included a penguin and an iceberg, but that's about it.
I also went to see many Christmas Pantomimes, I remember a
few but I especially remember one I went to see when I was in year 6 (2008/09),
this is because Alice, a friend of mine was in it. I specifically remember the
12 days of Christmas rendition they performed which was hilarious and involved
a load of loo rolls landing on Thomas Bradley's head.
I have been taking ballet classes since the age of 4, and
because of this I have been to see many ballet performances, including: Matthew
Bournes Nutcracker, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
I am also a keen reader, and enjoyed Roald Dahl when I was
quite young, I have seen The Witches and The BFG on stage and I remember The
Witches quite vividly even though I was only about 7. I especially loved the
stairs scene when the giant mice were using an equally giant quality street to
get up them. I also remember the fact that it is the only thing I have ever
seen with my brother Matt (at the Theater Royal) and I distinctly remember him
enjoying it loads: even if he won't admit it now.
It was tradition for any years that my family and I go to
Sterts Theater in Cornwall to see the performances put on there: they included
the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Wizard of Oz, Wind in the Willows,
Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang and possibly a few more (but i can't remember). They
were put on by more amateur troops and I loved them. I also loved the theater:
what with it being outdoors (we always brought plenty of blankets and
cushions).
With School (secondary school) we went to see the Diary of
Anne Frank at the Drum Theater in Plymouth as we were studying it at the time.
I don't think the theater had ever seen so many tears (it didn't help that we
are an all girls school). It was such a sad story and it was especially good as
it starred 2 girls from our school.
I think that's enough
to be getting by with for now: I have decided to just do minor things on here
and bigger shows on a seperate post so that i can show them more appreciation.
Goodbye for now!:)
