Theater Arts Club- Meeting 1 Members Only

Arriving five minutes early, Tina ambled into the rehearsal room for the first meeting of the Theaters Art Club. She was excited and nervous. She couldn't wait to start performing, even though she was a little worried her nerves would get in the way. She wondered what the other members of the club would be like. Would she be able to work with them? Are they usually friendly or hostile? She took a deep breath as she sat on the far end and gave Sonya a small wave. She didn't want her to think hat she disliked her, but she didn't feel comfortable sitting next to people.

Taking in the organization of the room, she appreciated how much effort Sonya had put into this first meeting. She must be very passionate about the arts to start a club and be so invested, she thought as she settled into her seat. She knew it would take a while for other members to arrive, so she opened the fiction novel called Divergent and began to read. She was almost finished, wanting to know whether Tris and Four survived their predicament. The story absorbed her so much that she wasn't very aware of her surroundings.

Sonya smiled as a girl walked into the rehearsal room. When the girl walked a little closer she saw that it was Tina, a girl who seemed a bit shy but had an amazing audition. "Welcome!" she greeted with a little wave when Tina waved at her. The girl sat a bit aways from her in the audience and read a book. Sonya smiled. She could tell this girl was an introvert, buried in her book, and was glad that she had taken a chance in her theater club. She knew it could be hard to get yourself out there, but Tina seemed really talented. She wondered what all the other members would be like.

Sonya ran through the events of auditions in her head, trying to recall everyone who had auditioned and their first impressions. There was of corse Tina, who did an amazing monologue, another girl she thought of was Devina, who seemed really confident with her audition. Those two seemed like opposites in terms of personality but both were very talented in the craft of performance. She remembered another girl who auditioned with Romeo and Juliet, she believed her name was Aeri. It would be nice to have someone who knew about the classics. There was a boy, Harley, who auditioned with his work in progress play about Voldemort. That seemed questionable, but he was a good actor and first impressions weren't always correct. There was a familiar face that would be in the club, Elena, who was a talented musician Sonya was in the Enchanted Souls Band with. And last but not least her friend Stella, who was talented in acting and music. She smiled at the thought of all the talent that would be in the room that meeting.

Aeri quietly walked into the Rehearsal Room about three minutes early and looked around the room. She spotted two other girls in the room and shyly smiled at them as she bowed slightly in greeting. "안녕하세요~" After walking closer to the other girls, she cleared her throat and rubbed the back of her head nervously. "I mean... Hello~" Aeri wasn't entirely sure what she needed to bring to the first meeting, so she had her school bag that contained some Shakespeare plays she had brought from home in case she needed something to remind her of home or just a book to read.

Looking around once more, the young witch found herself an empty seat and sat by herself. She still didn't know either of these girls yet, so she would stay shy for a while. However, maybe it wouldn't take too long for her to open up and show her true personality that she kept hidden inside of her. Aeri then opened up her bag and started to read 'Hamlet', hoping that the other girls wouldn't mind since it wasn't time for the meeting to start yet. "To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer..."

Ellara rushed into the room, practically running into the wall, as she attempted to slow her run. Seriously, one would think she'd known her way around at this point, but being all cute and clever as she would, of course, she decided to take a "shortcut" and get completely turned around! No matter, she was here now, and that was enough to keep her in good spirits. "Woops, guess I was in a bit too much of a rush. Hey, guys!"

She offered an apologetic smile, trying to keep the soft blush from gracing her cheeks in embarrassment. So far, the turn out wasn't all that bad. Sonya, of course, was present, alongside Tina, which she'd ridden on the train ride to Hogwarts with, and a few she didn't know, not that she minded. The whole point in getting involved in clubs was so she had the opportunity to meet new people, and here, it looked like she'd be receiving the chance to do just that.

Ellara set her messenger back over by the door and walked over to join Sonya and the others. She had no idea what would be happening at this meeting, but figured they'd find out soon enough! "Hey, Sony. Have I missed anything, yet?"

Sonya looked up at another girl coming in. It was Aeri, one of the people who did Romeo and Juliet at her auditions. "Hi," she greeted as the girl sat and began to read Hamlet. Aeri seemed to really be into Shakespeare. Sonya smiled. The two that were there at the moment were quiet, the opposite of what people would expect theater kids to be like. She liked that the club would be diverse in personalities, having many different kinds of people work together and hopefully become friends along the way.

Sonya was glad that she had decided to make this club. It would be a good opportunity to improve her skills as a performer by working with more people who shared the same craft as her. Judging by the auditions, most of the people were at varying levels. That was something Sonya was looking forward to. They could all take the chance to learn from each other.

Sonya got brought back to attention when Ellara burst into the room. She came in running then hit a wall, she still looked quite happy. Sonya gave her a sympathetic smile. "Hey! Nothing's happened yet, we're still waiting for everyone to show up," she assured her. Ellara seemed like a nice bundle of energy. Sonya was glad to have her in the club.

Elena opened the door to the rehearsal room and walked on in, "Hi everyone! Nice seeing you all here! I'm Elena if you didn't already know."

She was wearing simple black jeans, a pastel green t-shirt with a little snake on it since she'd been feeling a bit of house pride recently, and a zip up hoodie a lot like the one she usually wore, it was comfy so why not, you know? She had also brought her flute and fiddle with her in case she needed them. She sat down on a chair and took out the flute, she figured she should tune the instrument one more time before the meeting started in case she needed to play something.

"I brought my stuff with me in case someone needed me to play, I left the viola behind this time but if anyone needs me to I can go back and get it." Elena checked each of the notes before moving on the the fiddle, both were tuned fine so they made a rather nice noise, she had to get a new flute soon though. This one was sorta failing a little bit, it would be fine though. Winter break wasn't that far away.

Henry'd peer through the door before walking in too, lifting a hand in a wave. He was nervous but wasn't exactly scared. He noticed there were only girls there at the moment but he presumed there'd be males too.

Henry hadn't auditioned due to late notice but was a massive fan of modern musicals like RENT, Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked etc. Mainly because he was able to sing most of the songs from it. Although, he did also venture into some old plays from Shakespeare every now and again, just to broaden his knowledge. He had nothing with him at the moment aside from a small notepad and pencil. His eidetic memory allowed him to be able to remember some of the scripts and songs that he researched last night in preparation for today.

Moving further into the room to get closer to the group, he'd give them a dimpled smile and a wave. Henry's an introvert but when he's passionate about a topic, he'll talk for days. His weakness is that he can easily become anxious- his older sister always called him a worry wart. Fixing his sandy fringe for a moment to ensure he could actually see the individuals, Henry'd introduce himself.

"Hello, I'm Henry. Reed. This is the theatre group, right?"

Ellara shot a smile back at Sonya and moved over to set her bag on the side of the room. They had a decent turn-out. After all, this was theater... She wasn't expecting that many kids to show up, and she bet that most present would be from some form of muggle-descent. Do wizards even have musicals? She added that to her list of questions to ask at more appropriate times.

Everyone present seemed nice enough. She already knew Tina and Sonya, and the stuttering girl was by no means viewed as much of a threat. It seemed like she may end up okay. Just as her items were getting settled and she'd been alerted nothing had been missed yet, another girl entered the room - A Slytherin who apparently went by the names of Elena Jones. It looked like she was more of an Orchestra student than actual drama performer, but more the merrier!

Following after Elena was a new, unfamiliar face. A boy gave a slight wave as he entered the room, dressed in Ravenclaw robes and evidently a bit nervous. After taking a moment to survey the room, he took a moment to introduce himself as "Henry Reed" and confirmed the arrival to his destination. Ellara offered him an encouraging smile and replied, "If that's who you wish to see, then you're in the right place."

"Great, great..."
Henry'd nod at the girl who'd confirmed his question, walking further into the room to take a seat.

Starting with the female who'd spoken to him, Henry'd quickly analyse the others in the room. The gingery one seemed slightly suspicious of people but since she was wearing Hufflepuff robes, he assumed she would be a decent enough person. Otherwise she would not have been put in that house, right? The fact she smiled at him helped to reassure him of her personality, smiling to strangers usually shows a more down to earth one than those who don't.

Next was the girl who was carrying lots of instruments. He took note of her green snake shirt but dismissed it, he wasn't about to put his guard up immedietly just because of a shirt. She was clearly alright with everyone as she was relaxed in her chair whilst sorting her flute or whatever it was out. Surely she wouldn't be here if she didn't want to be- maybe he could ask for some tips on musical instruments, he played a little bit of guitar.

The next girl had brown hair and big eyes, almost like a does. He took note of her dress sense and how she must be the leader considering where her chair was placed compared to the others. They all looked around the same age as him, which was pretty cool. He moved off the leader girl soon enough as he didn't see anything off about her.

The Asian looking girl also went past his raydar, all he really got was shy mannerisms and obviously the one person he was sure he'd seen around, the Ravenclaw, was reading. He made a mental note to catch up on some books that he hadn't read in a while, dismissing his quick thought process of profiling the girls.

Sitting down on the front row with the others, he'd wave again at them.
"Nice to meet you all."
