Right. This is the second time I'm doing this, but fine. I won't scream.
The results for the cast for our very own Proof production is out, and we'll skip the snazz because I did type it all out earlier before the entry just mysteriously disappeared. If you want the snazz, use your own imagination.
Before I announce the results, there are few things that ALL members should take note of:
1. Remember, orders for the Proof production by Wessex Theatre must be in by Sunday, 11pm. Attendance is not compulsory, save for all ye who are involved in the play. For backstage crew, the play is not compulsory, but you are encouraged to come, because it would help you guys get a feel of how the play settings will be like.
2. All ye going for the Proof production this coming Friday, please bring your money on Wednesday. That's $29 (read earlier post for more information). Which brings me to the third point.
3. There will be a brief meeting on Wednesday, AFTER the sports meet. We'll be meeting in the Old Canteen. Attendance is COMPULSORY. And for all ye bringing money (and you MUST, MUST, MUST bring it on Wednesday), please bring exact change. I do not own a private collection of $1 coins. Refusal to adhere to the above mentioned requirements would result in you being shortchanged.
Now, for the results:
Catherine will be played by Evelyn
Claire will be played by Nithya
Diana will understudy both Claire & Catherine
Robert will be played by Axell
Hal will be played by Atiqah
Hafiiz will understudy both Robert & Hal
Thank you all who have participated in the auditions.
As such, the confirmed tickets for the Proof production by Wessex Theatre are for:
Evelyn
Nithya
Diana
Axell
Atiqah
Hafiiz
Joanna
Apoorva
Hadassah
Aloysius
I'll continue adding your names to the list when I do get a notification.

Proof the Play by Wessex Theatre
Hello!
As you all should know by now, we will be putting up a short 40 minute play during the Literature Festival that would be held in July. The play is none other than Proof, by David Auburn, and it will be our own version of it.
Wessex Theatre have also created a production of the Play, and it will be staged from the 13th of May to the 16th. We will be purchasing tickets to watch the 8pm show on Friday, 15th of May. Attendance is not compulsory, save for all ye who are main cast for our own version of it.
Until the results are released, we are opening the offer to watch it at your own choice. I need the numbers by this Sunday, 11pm. Do let me know if you want to attend the play or not. The reason why we're rushing this out is because we want to get the best seats for you as possible. As such, 11pm, this Sunday, please either leave a comment, or email your bookings to yjceldds@gmail.com
The tickets are $29 ($25 for ticket, $3 for SISTIC charges, and $1 for booking fee), and if you do want to watch the play, please pass me the exact change on Wednesday, after the sports meet. If you aren't attending (naughty things), pass the money to someone else on Tuesday. I will be at the Old Canteen, and I will wait there for half an hour and no more after the end of the sports meet.
More details on the play can be found here:

(long link, I know)
I highly recommend that you watch it, especially Literature students. Wessex Theatre has produced many good plays, and I trust this would too be one of the many.
Remember:
Give me your bookings by 11pm, Sunday night, by email (yjceldds@gmail.com), or by leaving a comment on this blog entry. Bring your money on Wednesday, after the sports meet.

The Graveyard Book
Hello All!
Due to some changes (to make your lives so much easier), we have decided to change the book of topic for our next reading circle. Instead of Neverwhere, we'll be doing The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman instead. It is a much thinner book, with bigger words, tonnes of pictures, and is a very easy yet interesting read.
Unfortunately, we are not able to get hold of a copy of the e-book, and unless someone in the club would be nice enough to type out the entire thing in .pdf format, you guys would have to procure your own copy.
The good news is, Ms Tan has very wonderfully gotten hold of a 25% discount from Borders off the book, and if you guys would organise yourself together, you can borrow her Borders Member Card, and get a further 10% discount. The link to downloading the voucher is here:
http://email.borders.com.au/shortlist/sg/2009/20090501/jrr/coupon-01-sg.asp
Do download it and purchase a copy of the book, and read it before the next Reading Circle session.
In the mean time, Neil Gaiman has created an audio of himself reading the book, and you can listen to it here:
http://www.mousecircus.com/videotour.aspx
There are 9 chapters altogether, each being about 45minutes long. The audio enhances the book, but do not rely on it alone. You need to read the book too, to be able to better understand the themes.
Here is a review of the book, which would be good to start with before you actually read the book, so that you'd get a rough idea of what the book's about:
http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/blog/1790000379/post/1970030997.html
Terribly sorry to all those who have already started on Neverwhere. However, I encourage you to continue reading the book at your leisure, because it is a wonderful book, full of fantastic imagery and notions.
More information on the next Reading Circle would be posted up as soon as we've got it settled.
