FTJ

Helping out with FTJ Theatre Jeunesse has been an amazing experience for me. Through my high school years, i have been involved with what we know as FTJ which is our school's French theatre group. Each year we perfom a different play in hope of winning first place at the FTJ competetion. In the past two years, our group has been able to being awarded with several acting as well as lights and sound effects awards. In light of our small group, we have come build up a strong relationship with one another seing that it is a French speaking experience. FTJ 2011 in particular had an important inpact within my CAS experience. Through practices, we had several incidents that nearly threatened our chances of even performing at all that year. We struggled with actors deciding to drop their rolls as well as the lack of time we got to practice our play. Thankfully, even with last minute changes to our cast crew, we were able to pull it off. It was defently a big challange; however through this we learned that commitement and perceverance can lead to succes!
