The 7th and 8th grade classes at OurayHighSchool put on GodSpell this evening. I went just for the heck of it. My impressions from the night are as follows.
- I got there early, and they were doing a spot of last minute rehersal. The interaction between the directors and actors made me want to holler at somebody to chill out.
- The acting tallent was surprising. I was quite amazed.
- I was glad to see a production of such religious nature could still be put on in our school system today without a huge fuss.
- I wanted to cry. With a few exceptions, the actors did not mean what they were saying or even know what they were saying meant. Great lines, good acting, but I wish it could have been genuine.
