The Hardest Role We'll Ever Play

Anyone who says Shakespearean roles are tough to play should have been in the Georgetown Middle School theater today!

When we walked into the auditorium and saw "The hardest role you'll ever play is yourself," we knew the day was going to be challenging.  What me?  Play myself?   Sure Shakespeare said that "all the world is a stage," but here?  Now?  Without a costume or make-up?

The exercise was probably the most challenging thing we've done so far this summer, particularly the first part, when we looked into the mirror of one of our classmates playing us.  But experiencing Jack playing herself, transforming into Joanie, was something special.
