"It was really a lot of fun," said Emily about the experience, only a few minutes before scenes from her play - about an over-the-top and eccentric theater producer named Mr. Furnettle - were to be performed in the COC Performing Arts Center Black Box Theater.
"For a while it was a little intimidating," said Emily about her college classroom experiences, "but we're all sort of friends now, so that certainly made it a lot easier."
Mr. Furnettle and the Christmas Debacle was directed by David Stears and featured the comic stylings of Andrew Fish Booth, Nick Huff, Sarah Oh, Desiree M. Doyle, and Andrea Plaud.
I attended most of the rehearsals, and it was great fun watching Emily's reaction to seeing her own play come to life.
But perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of her experience came near the middle of the production process - which culminated for Emily when she first witnessed actors performing during rehearsals.
"I guess my favorite part was when we started doing the run-through of all the plays, that was really cool," said Emily with a wide smile. "It was so cool, I couldn't stop smiling. It was just so cool."
The play was truly hilarious.
Great job, Emily!
