So, The Theatre Comp... Sighhhhhhhh

Well, the competition me and all of my schools actors have been waiting for and working so hard to be a part of finally happened!... and I'm actually pissed about it. So, since I wanna start with the positives I will say that A. WE did INCRIDIBLY!! I'm so so so so proud of everyone that got to work with because they all did amazingly especially considering that we all had to wake up at like 5am just to get to the place on time (ON A WEEKEND MIND YOU) But I also wanna say the B. Everyone else that preformed with their schools did amazingly. I loved each and every one of the shows we got to see and I'm so so glad I got to meet such talented people!

Now, what I'm pissed about. To make this as understandable as I can, I'll just ask you to keep these rules in mind (this is some of the stuff we were told COULD NOT AT ANY POINT HAPPEN):

The performing schools name can not be mentioned, the shows name cannot be mentioned, no copywritten material, nothing on stage at any point until the timer starts, and the staff helping with the competition cannot interfere at any point. 

Wanna guess what happened? LITTERALY ALL OF IT.

Our school went first and once we got al of our set on the stage wings (stage sides that can't be seen) I was told that I could start marking things; so, I went and just marked out the center of the stage. Time started, we brought everything on and WHAT DO YOU KNOW? As the dude is announcing that we're about to start.. He doxes our whole school name and show name.. Incredible. Pissed about it, but we went on and did our thing and brought it all off and went into the audience to watch the next show. Next show starts and I'm not gonna lie, they where probably one of, if not my favorite show but ANYWAY they go on, do their show, and at the very end when they're about to call clear (meaning they're completely done and the stage is clear) and they guy announcing stuff to the judges goes "LABLE!" And points at a small thing on the stage... ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? They run and get it and call clear and apparently it's completely fine.. ok, sure, fine, whatever. I'm pissed, but whatever. We sit and wait for the next show. Next show starts and I kid you not THEY HAVE SHIT ON STAGE BEFORE TIME STARTS AND APPRENTLY IT'S COMPLETLY FINE??? I'M ACTUALLY SO FUCKING MAD CUZ WHAT DO MEAN AFTER ALL THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN PLACE IN THE END. 

TLDR: The competition was completely unfair and I'm pissed off about it.

Thanks for reading! I lowkey don't know if I should label this as art, rant, or general lmao
