I will start with the back-story..... Months ago, Josh had the opportunity to try out for Far East Drama. Far East Drama is the team that puts on a play and then goes to the Far East competition with all the other DODEA schools in the Asia area. Josh did not try out for it, and instantly regretted it once the parts were selected. But it was everlastingly too late. So he kicked himself for not doing it. He went and told the Drama teacher that he would be an alternate or understudy if they needed one. they did not. So he moved on to other things.
Then one day I got a phone call. It was a Tuesday. One of the girls had to drop out. Did Josh have a current passport? Was he interested in stepping in? And, oh, by the way, the play was to be performed in 10 days and the flight to Korea for the competition was in 12 days. Josh was thrilled!
I had to scramble though. He was scheduled for oral surgery on the following Thursday. I cancelled the wisdom teeth removal portion of it, but he still had to go in and get brackets put on three teeth that had not yet descended down. (He needed "chains" put on them so they could be attached to his braces so they could pull the teeth down, since they refused to do it on their own.) And that absolutely had to be done. So on Thursday he got to go in for that. On Friday he performed the play and did a fantastic job! And on Sunday, he flew to Korea for a week, and performed the play for all the DODEA drama kids in the Asia area. Because he is awesome!
The play was titled "8 Ways Pokemon Go is Ruining Your Life" and was a cute play with 8 different mini-acts to show different ways Pokemon Go might not be a good thing. So he played multiple characters.
They had to perform a monolog. Josh stepped into a 3 person... tri-alog?
His was interesting. But odd. For having to learn that many lines in 10 days, he did excellent. He did excellent for someone who had months to prepare, actually!
Here he is playing Jolteon, a Pokemon.
It was pretty funny.
Trying to catch pokemon on his phone.
And this spectacular shouting in his face.
The most hysterical scene was depicting how you should not play pokemon Go at a funeral. Since Josh stepped in for a girl, they did not change up the funeral scene (or any scene) for him. And he portrayed the grieving spouse, who's husband- Zac Effron- had died.
It was so funny! And he hammed it up beautifully.
The whole play was clever and fun. And the kids all did a great job.
Josh rocked the play and all the parts he played in it.
I was impressed with all the kids.
And our whole family very much enjoyed the play.
This is the selfie I made Josh take with me before he left for Korea. I love this boy!!
