helena
Currently, the biggest thing happening in my life is A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, as performed by Uni High. Going into this, I thought, "yo, you're a senior. you've got all the time in the world to learn a really huge and challenging Shakespeare role." No, Kat. Stop taking responsibilities. Get some sleep. It's too late. I play Helena, arguably the most important character in the show. I'll start by saying this show is super fun and I'm really excited to take on the challenge. I guess I'm pretty nervous about that. Shakespeare's works are hard enough to capture when reading silently, alone. It's daunting to memorize these lines, understand my own words, and identify with a woman I don't ever want to become. The thing about Helena is she's pathetic. She spends all her time chasing after Demetrius, a colossal douchebag. [Am I allowed to cuss on this? idk @ Dr. Majerus lmk if that's not ok.] Essentially
