why aubry's parents should let her major in theater

hey all, joe here,

as you know by now , if i'm not condeming one cause i'm supporting another, and todays casuse of the week, is convincing a talented young actressess parents to let her major in theater.

some of you may or may not know i directed b.h.s. fall plays , and the first year i did that a young lady stood out within the magnificent cast i had, her name was and still is aubry
aubry was one of my most dedicated kids, so dedicated that even after she contracted a severe facial injury just a day before the show opened , she went on and superbly i might add, with 5 stitches across the front of her lower lip,

so, that said, aubry went on and graduated from highschool and is now in a college near new york. and low and behold, doing theater, (without the support of her family) . but , with my full support, for waht ever thats worth, in any event the time had come for her, a freshman, to perform in the yearly production at her college, so being her former director i decided to drive up there and check it out

the play was an oliver goldsmith comedy she stoops to conquer writen in the late 1700's if i remeber correctly. in any event aubry (freshman) was cast as one of the lead roles, the older yet fashionable wife of a rich important man, (not the actual charector name, i forgot that ,it was long and complicated.) any who, not only did she have to play the role of a 17th century 50 year old noble woman nagging bitch, she played it superbly so good in fact even bet midler would be impressed,

aubry immediatly became the audience favorite, with rounds of applause at the end of her tyraids to hoots , hollars , and claps (the good kind) every time her charactor walked on stage. aubry stood head and shoulders above her older more experienced classmates, but even more importantly then that, she made the rest of the cast look great, even the bad actors and actressess seemed more alive and in charector when performing in scences with her,

so in clossing after viewing this stand out steller, better then college level acting, heck better then most acitng , performance , i ask beseach mr and mrs aubry's parents, encourage and nurture the gift your daughter has recieved so that more people in the world can be inspired and taken in by her amazing charactor acting.

well thats all for now

Joe,

Thanks for writing so many great things about the show! It was really swell of you to come up to see it, but I wanted to clear a few things up to your avid readers:

1. My parents fully support my theater hobby. They came up on Saturday night--Mum laughed so hard that she cried. They absolutely loved it and were very proud.

2. Even if they would let me major in theater, I don't think it's something I would actually go to the trouble of doing. I'd be great in a classroom, and I think it's really where I belong--I'll stick to teaching.

3. I'd like to give some credit to the other people on stage with me. Mr. Hardcastle, Miss Neville, Mr. Marlowe, Tony, Diggory, and Sally were all freshmen as well. Kate Hardcastle, Mr. Hastings, Sir Charles Marlowe, Bridgette, Bet Bouncer, and I believe the remaining members of the cast were sophomores. We're all a young bunch in a brand new Drama Guild led by Professor Fogerty, also in her first year at Mercyhurst. It's a good time.

So, just wanted to clear those few things up, and I'd like to encourage everyone to take an interest in this fine new guild's next production for Spring: Shakespeare in the Park (supposedly)!
