Today is the day of the performance. Today's three hours of theatre was our dress rehearsal and last preparation time for our show this evening. The tickets have been sold out for both performances.

We did our warm ups like normal and we got into costume straight away for our dress rehearsal. In my scene I am a Guard for Creon and a News reporter so I wore a white dress shirt, a black tie, black ray-bands, black leggings, black socks and black shoes. Underneath I wore a black t-shirt for our chorus parts, therefore when we went to do our chorus scene I could easily just take off my dress shirt and tie and have my black t-shirt underneath ready to perform. Everyone put our bags in a spare theatre room and Miss locked it shut so we could leave everything we didn't need in that room, so that the dress rehearsal was as similar to what it will be later in the afternoon for our performance.

We all got into position and ran our scene over and over again to try and get it to perfection. After we done this, we ran over our chorus scenes again until we got them to a perfection as well. We needed to make this performance just as good as our previous two, if not even better! Afterward once we were confident what we were doing and made sure we made some chorus agreements, we got into position to perform it to the Year 11's.

After we performed this to the Year 11's we talked to each other what to do to improve. It was good to have the Year 11's as our practice audience because we got to perform to an actual audience, which let us experience how it would be later. Performing to an audience also gave us the opportunity to see if the multimedia work ed and to see if their was any technical difficulties we needed to fix also to see what our audience thought of our show.

Once the Year 11's had left our teachers gave us feedback on what they thought worked well, what they enjoyed and what they thought perhaps didn't, and what they thought needed to be improved. We were very grateful for this chance to perform in front of an audience because it gave us a chance to know what to expect and to receive some feedback.
