My Shakespeare Class and Play

Last week, we did the Shakespeare play that I was in. It was SO FUN! I can't wait to take another Shakespeare class next year. This year we only had 7 kids in my class total, but we did it! The play we did was the Merchant of Venice which is a really funny play. I played the part of Nerissa, Portia's lady in waiting. I had alot of lines, but I memorized all of them.

Here is a picture from last February. When almost all of the kids in my Shakespeare class were able to go on a field trip to the Old Globe theater, in Balboa Park. It was really fun and I learned alot. it was especially fun because my friend Emily (the same Emily as the one in the Easter picture) was able to come also while her family visited us from Washington state.

Here is a picture of my friend Emily and I before the field trip started.


This picture is of Portia (her real name is Elisabeth) and I after the play. I liked wearing the costumes and I really liked my dress, and I thought that every one else's costumes looked nice to, especially Portia's outfits.


Here is the scene with the casket test. It was very funny and Bassanio did a really good job at memorizing all his lines. He had alot!


And here is the last picture of the entire cast. It was tons of fun and I LOVE acting, even though I get so nervous before the play starts. Well it was a fun year and I can't wait to do it again next year!
