Hello!

Hello. How are you going? I feel great, because we finished the stage of drama. Our performance took place at 22 and 24. That was great! There is the reason to feel such impressed. Our practice is very hard every time. We practice a drama 6 day a week for 3 months. Moreover, the earthquakes kept out us of the stage. (Sophia university hall of building 1) We had to consider about where we would do the performance. We decided to do in a class room once. But class room was too small to do the performance, and we could not use sound and light effects efficiently. Therefore, we waited to finish the maintenances of the hall. But it was a big mistake. We could not use the hall in June and even July. Soon after hearing that news we changed the decision, but it was too late. We could not use any class room at Saturday or Sunday owing to a round-table conference. At last we could not avoid using it at Wednesday and Friday. We worried how many people could come to see our performance. But at the day of our performance, many ESS members came. I’m impressed so much. Thus, this performance became a memorable one.

We did the drama the title is "Shawshank Redemption". The original was Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption which is printed in Different Seasons. It was written by Stephen Edwin King. "Shawshank Redemption" is a film directed by Frank Darabont. Do you know the story of "Shawshank Redemption"? I think it is a famous movie in the world. In fact, the movie was nominated for seven Academy Awards in 1994: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Original Score and Best Sound Mixing. The film's Academy Award nominations enabled it to fare well in the video sales and cable TV viewing. It is a story of a bank clerk who was made a false charge. He is trying to find a hope in the Shawshank prison. In the movie all most all casts are men. But our performance of drama, two women came on the stage.

In this drama, I took charge of cloth and make-up artist. I bought clothes in Harajyuku. It was challenging to how to manage on a small budget. But it was interesting to find a cloth which was suited for actors and actress. It was also interesting to find way of make-up to pretend old man. I like this job as a member of drama section. In next our performance, I want to take charge of cloth and make-up artist again!
