After not having talked to my original mentor since October, I have finally found a new mentor who is extremely happy to have me working with him! My new mentor is Chip Healy. He's a math teacher and the drama teacher at South El Monte High School. I found him through my dad who works in the same school. I had told him about my troubles with my mentorship and he directed me to Mr. Healy.
What Mr. Healy allowed for me to help out with was something really big. He is giving me the opportunity to direct act 2 of their play, La Casa de Bernarda Alba. He wants act 2 to be reader's theatre instead of actually performing the scenes. This means that the actors sit down and read off of their scripts in-character. However, this has been proving to be difficult because this play wasn't meant for reader's theatre. I hope to try and create something in which I can make the act look the least awkward possible. It's a challenge I am sure I can overcome.
Mr. Healy is truly a great mentor. During my interview 4, he gave me a lot of tips, stories, and information I can use for my final presentation. He's a really fun guy and I'm so thankful for the opportunity he is providing me.
