Before attempting this activity, the most difficult part was deciding what piece we wanted to perform for out project. Originally in our group there were 4 girls and 1 boy. Our requirements for our piece was that we had to get a music theatre piece from a broadway play. It was hard to specifically find a piece that fit everyone in our group and at first we failed many times to get a song. But with much research we were able to find an off broadway piece from Rocky Horror Picture Show called Time Warp that satisfied our need. After attempting this activity, the most difficult part was being able to adjust to a sudden change. One of our group members was a senior and unfortunately they weren't able to make it to all of the rehearsals and wasn't prepared to do the part by the senior performance date. This meant that in less than a week, we had rearrange her part and split the role amongst 2 of our group members to learn and memorize. We were able to pull it off in time for the performance. The most important thing I learned from this activity was to always prepare for the worst and hope for the best. We were thrown a few obstacles in the way, but with hard work and optimism we were able to get through the rehearsals and crank out a great performance. The most interesting thing I learned from this activity is that interacton is key to having a good acting group. A lot of times in acting, rehearsing our scenes were boring and uninteresting and it cost us the opportunity to grow close so that we can be a better acting team. In this project by us working together, we were able to interact and get more ideas across and thus have a more productive rehearsal. The aspect of this activity that I'm satisfied with is the final result. We were able to go out there and have a fun performance. We had our mistakes, but what we were looking for the most was to have fun and enjoy what we were doing. The aspect of this activity that I'm least satisfied with is that we had to change things around last minute. It was stressful and time consuming. Instead of perfecting our performance, we had to add in different changes and that took time away from getting our performance right
