Play Fest 2010

November 30- December 03 2010,
A date that many would treasure for a long long time
It was their third year,the last one they're gonna have before having to let go things
For many of them it would be their last


Sweat, fear, frustration and a lot of hardwork
was put into a single presentation
that meant a big part in their academic achievement

Weeks and weeks of practice came to a lot of use
during those four days.
It really is weird that many people sacrified so much for just an hour or two presentation.

I saw so much in a lot of people during those times.
One batch of girls I wouldn't forget was the Batch 2011-2012.
It really wasn't that important in the eyes of normal citizens.

Assumption-Iloilo's Play Festival 2010, big deal!
To others yes but to these girls it's something they'd be offering their first drop of work.
It has been for a lot of years and it will be the same in the many years to come.

...........................................................................................................................................................................

The day that all had been waiting for has finally come.
First timers entered with stories from the mother land.
A New Yorker in Tondo, The Dolls that nobody wanted and The Five Star Angel.

Tales from the neighboring countries were brought about by the sophomores.
The fantastic tale of Anastasia, the glorific story of Esther and the undying myth of Shakuntala.
Three women with great will that became inspirations to a lot of women and to more.

Justice was given to Shakespeare's plays as the Juniors made a great performance.
St. Paul brought to life the magical forest and the fairies in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
St. John proved that even how worst matters can be there would always be a happily ever after in The Twelfth Night.
St. Peter gave meaning to the real power of love in their portrail of Much Ado About Nothing.

And in their last year, the seniors finished off with a bang.
A remake of the novel and movie "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" was created by the year four MME as "The Girl in Stripped Pyjamas" which was a story about a german girl who died in a jew consentration camp.

MTE wrote an original playwright intitled "The Glass House".
A story about a family whose lives changed because of one unfortunate inccident.
It has a realistic view of how hard it is to have a child who has a mental disorder.

And lastly, what better way to end a play fest but with a musical.
A version of the broadway musical "A Chorus Line" was presented by year four MMA
and with the use of presently popular music like Fireworks and other hits they were able to give a spectacular performance.

Some battles were won but some were lost.
It was a hard and surprising awarding ceremony that Friday
many of us hoped that it was just a product of intense imagination or stress but sadly it was the truth, to win would have been better but we did bagged a lot of awards so it really wasn't a bad ending.

This has been the Play Festival 2010 and these are the memories I have of it.
It was nice having to be its audience but proudly being someone in it.
