Scratch

I'm in my school's drama club so for the past few months we've been working on some play

I work backstage because I didn't feel like auditioning for a role or anything so we planned all the stuff out and painted and whatnot
We spent a lot of time planning (not wisely, anyway) so we didn't get much time in for painting so we had like four practices (each practice being like an hour and a half) to paint all five of the backdrops
And the band teacher's daughter and I were the only ones who could properly paint so we spent a lot of time fixing everyone else's mistakes
And the band teacher ended up staying like five hours after to finish everything for us
And the actual performers haven't been doing any better

The show's tonight and it's probably going to be horrible but I won't be able to see it because I'll be at the back of the front of the stage holding up a huge plywood board with a mule that I drew on it

I'm kind of disappointed that I won't see it because we've been working on this for months
I'll be able to hear it though I guess
But if the rest of the set design crew weren't as incompetent as they were I wouldn't have to be holding up scenery because the band teacher would've had enough time to build a frame for it so it could stand up on its own but nope

So to sum our production up from the looks of it:
-___________-

So yeah
Plays and whatnot
Have you ever been in one or worked backstage for one or been to one or something

I've been to plenty of them but this is only the second one I've actually worked in
This summer I'm going to try to get into my local theater and work on art stuff but that isn't very likely because I'm eleven
Or I might audition for a position in a show but probably not because their ones for this summer don't really seem like stuff I'd like to be in but I might change my mind
