After she died, I lost all motivation and I felt like I was trying to throw myself into getting into the christmassy spirit and tried to make myself happy but it just wasn't working. So I did everything I could to forget and try and enjoy Christmas and to be fair, I had a pretty good Christmas.
Then it was back to College and i was feeling ten times better so I decided to try and prove myself to everyone (which I 100% didn't need to do) and decided to spearhead organising our Showcase. It was stressful to say the least but on Thursday 18th February we showed it to the public and I couldn't have been prouder of the cast and crew that pulled it off. Throughout rehearsals I've been filming and taking photos; so what I wanted to do with this blog post was link it with the video I have put together.
Our Showcase, showed our talents and it was amazing to see that we weren't just actors; we were singers, dancers and musicians. So without further ado, here are the dress rehearsal photos that I may or may not be extremely proud of.
