Oh, dear.
She had never realized quite how much fun it was to indulge herself in these power trips. It was quite unbecoming, really, but at some point, dealing with alternate universe nonsense and endless cries of

to be in school had exacted their toll. It seemed Miss Traitor's habit of cackling maniacally after assigning 50 page proofs on the existence of logic hadn't been due to mild senility after all. One day, these students would outgrow their studies (excepting the 5000 year olds) and realize how much trouble and effort it took to derive these truly diabolical schemes concocted for the sole purpose of making every moment of their waking lives miserable.

The preceding, of course, was exactly what each and every one of the horrified students entering class Friday morning thought as they beheld the following neatly taped announcement.
MANDATORY SCHOOL PLAY AUDITIONS
TOMORROW MORNING
SIGN-UP BELOW FOR TIME SLOTS AND CHARACTER PARTS FOR WHICH YOU ARE INTERESTED
followed by a neat listing of the names of every student in school, simply as an indication that yes, she would know if you didn't show up.
Truly they were dealing with a mastermind.
((Auditions:
Please post to the appropriate character's topic. You are welcome to audition with another student simultaneously for different parts in a group if you wish! In that case, just post to one of the characters' topics.
You are also welcome to have several people auditioning for the same part combating each other in one thread. Maybe literally.
Any other teacher in the school is welcome to respond to an audition with their own input on the subject.
This is really just for fun. You can still be involved in the play if you don't audition. The exception to this is for the characters of Romeo and Juliet, which will be chosen from among the auditions. Please note that all parts are non-gender-specific.
Thank you!))
