what do you do when the hunger games comes out

during the day of opening night for your show?

yes it is true. the school show just so happens to open the day the hunger games comes out. we've known about it for a while now (or at least the fans and the ones to pay attention to the things going around them). cast members have begun reading the books and there's been a ton of conversation going on about it before practice with girls asking others to do their hair in a french braid like katniss. even when out assistant director jeff was telling us that there was only to more weeks until the show steph, from an organized mess (my life), managed to squeeze it in. here's the conversation:

jeff: guys, two more weeks.

steph: until the hunger games come out.

jeff: i quit.

the conversation did make the cast laugh but we as got eyes rolls and deep sighs from jeff and our director. needless to say that they figured out that we're more interested in the hunger games movie than our show.

but now it's hell week and they've been buckling down. the cast has been very good so far wanting to get things down and over with so we don't have to stay later than we have to. the practices are hard having to go in around 5:30 and end probably around 8:00. but the one i'm really not looking forward it is the wednesday practice which will go from 7:00 to whenever just because of the adults schedules.

but during this week my friend allison has come up with a good metaphor for hell week. and it fits very well with the new movie coming out.

hell week is like the hunger games. you never know who's gonna survive.
