I have a couple plays to read. Cory will be in not one, but two plays next semester. They're doing Spirits to Enforce, which seems to be a show about a bunch of super heroes trying to raise funds to put on a production of Shakespeare's The Tempest. It sounds like it might be a bit chaotic and hard to follow - but fun. So I'd like to read it first, and then after seeing it a couple times, I ought to be able to figure it out, right? I keep teasing Cory that he'll have to wear tights, but the descriptions I've been reading say out-of-costume super heroes. Bummer! No tights!
The other play Cory will be in is Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. Shakespeare! So, yes, I need to read that one first too - so I can get an idea what it's about and can follow it. Though Cory said that during auditions he and one of the young ladies read a scene, and when they were finished, the director said something to the effect that it was a very complicated scene, but he understood everything they were saying. Of course, as the director, he should understand it, but you know what I mean! They read it so well that he gave them the parts. Cory is the lead in the play - some guy named Ferdinand! How exciting is that? I'm really looking forward to seeing Shakespeare! I downloaded a study guide and a free ebook version of the play today after Cory told me he was cast.
My son the leading man!
