Camelot


So I haven't been blogging for a while. Today we had a field-trip to the Pasadena Play House to watch "Camelot." A few weeks before the field trip we were told that they wouldn't let us in with a camera or a big bag (or backpack) so it was best to leave them at home. I decided to just bring a small bag since I need to put my phone, wallet, and ipod in. Turns out they didn't want cameras DURING the play. The play was amazing. I'm very interested in the entertainment industry--those kind of things. Like studios, acting, actors, behind the scenes, etc. I like acting, btw. This was my first theatre/play and it was an amazing experience. The Camelot story was predictable but I still loved it. King Arthur, Guenevere, and Lancelot were the main characters--obviously there was a love triangle (which is what made it predictable). The actor that played Lancelot was really good looking. My friend and I were trying to hold in our little girlish squeals. He even took off his shirt in one scene *_*!!!! He had a nice body ;). He can also sing! (Well, they all could--they all had a beautiful voice). Supposedly, the two actors (that played Lancelot and Guenevere) were suppose to be nude while they kissed but the audiences were high schoolers so they couldn't. After the play, the actors changed their clothes and came out and sat down on the stage to take questions from the audience. My friend kept telling me to say "TAKE OFF YOUR SHIRT!" which I'm sure we all wanted to say, hah! After the questions with the actors, people were leaving the theatre and my two friends and I were running the opposite direction of the audience--we were heading toward the stage where the actors were talking to each other. We took out the magazine we were given in the beginning of the play and flipped to the pages of the CAST of CHARACTERS and asked them to sign it. I told the actors they were amazing. When Doug, the guy that played Lancelot , leaned forward to sign the magazine, I told him it was an amazing performance and he smiled and said thanks. Usually when I see someone far away and I think they're good looking and when I see them up close, I usually don't think they were as attractive. But this guy... looked so much better up close! My friends were asking some of the actors how old they were. The youngest was 17. Doug (Lancelot) said "Oh, I'm too old. I'm 24."...or was it 23? But yeah, to me, that's not old at all since most of my "celebrity crushes" are in their early-mid twenties, haha. So there were like... only five or six girls left in the theatre (besides the actress) and we had to go catch the school bus. So after getting our autographs and talking to them, we rushed out of the theatre and our class was nowhere to be found. Turns out they were on the bus--which was about to leave without us. I joked to my friends, who were also almost left behind, "it's okay. If we get left behind, we'll just ask them (the actors) to drive us home " hah. They were funny and really nice. Especially Will Bradley who played Mordred (Arthur's son--that might have been a spoiler but whatever).
