Too Much Exposition - An Introductory Post

By Sierra Shreves posted 01-01-2016 12:19

  

Hello! My fellow thespians, I am so excited to interact with you. So this is what you need to know ( what I think may be useful if you want to read my blogs)

  • I am Sierra Shreves. The one, the only, except there are actually a few people with that name.
  • I am a card-carrying Thespian.
  • I am a senior in high school.
  • I plan on pursuing this theatre thing after high school. (Every time I say or write that I get butterflies like it is opening night.)
  • I am serving my second year as President of Thespian Troupe 7549.
  • I have been a volunteer for the West Virginia State Thespian Board for around two years.
  • I perform. (Acting, singing, dancing, etc.)
  • I am a techie with my most experience branch of technical theatre in lighting.
  • I am writing a blog. 

So let us expand on that last one, but eventually we can get back to the others. So why am I writing this blog? Couple of little reason: I asked a high-up, Thespian how I could help our society and she suggested, I thought it would be kinda fun, etc. And then there is my big picture reason: We all live different lives and we all learn lessons, some the easy way and some the not so easy way. I have learned lessons both direct and indirectly. It isn't so much that I believe I have an immense amount of knowledge, but I have accumulated an amount of knowledge that might save some reader a little struggle. So I offer you, my lovely readers, this blog. It is yours and mine, so feel free to shape it by asking questions or offering suggestions in the comment section below. I have already prepare a reasonable amount of material for future posts.

Future posts?

Why yes, of course. It does say introductory blog. This is just the exposition, and perhaps a little too much of it. It offers you a little overview of what you need to know about me and the blog. Such as, the blog will (hopefully, I may fail. I am sorry in advance.) be posted every other Friday. It is going to me sharing experience, info, how-tos, lessons, etc. Anything I can pass through this blog and possibly benefit another by posting about is fair game. Also, I have introduced you to my blog-title theme. For those unfamiliar, it comes from Urinetown soundtrack and at the end of this post you will get a teaser for my next post. 

So, once again, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy the "show."  Remember, comments are appreciated and I will take comments and requests.

As this scene ends and you have to wait a whole week for the lights to come back up on this blog, I foreshadow next week's blog post with the Legally Blonde song lyric, "Is that my name up on that list?"

And scene.

Sierra, loved reading this. I have definitely found it true that sometimes we learn things the easy way, and sometimes the hard. Writing your blog will be great way to force yourself to distill your experience into lessons, or even to force yourself to learn.
Blog post suggestions: What do you think about evening length works vs. nights of one acts?
