okay so back in high school drama we were reading the tempest
and I said I felt sorry for... whatever his name was, the guy the old guy was keeping as a slave
and everyone in the class got all mad at me because he had tried to rape the daughter once and I guess that that means the character can't be sympathetic anymore
I don't remember anything about the story because god that class was terrible
I am really interested to know how the gay and lesbian Romeo and Juliet worked
I didn't see this one, but a friend of mine did.
I believe it was original text, but all the Capulets were women, Juliet inferred to have been adopted, and the male characters were dressed kind of with a butch lean, with short hair and jeans and t shirts, but they were still playing women.
And all the montagues were dudes and kind of faggy. And Mercutio was a cross dresser, and I believe Rosaline was referred to as a dude.
Man I use to love doing theater in High School. It was fun and while I never got top billing or anything I always had descent parts.
College however is when I went to try out, and was even told I did better then most of the other Freshmen who tried out, but because I am not a theater major I cannot truely appricate the art of theater and therefor could only do backstage work.
I was told this by a professor, and was affirmed by the students. I then decided fuck this noise and went home to watch my Into The Woods DVD.

Does your college have an independent or student-run theater club? Like, not affiliated with the actual department? You might have better luck there, I think they tend to be more merit-based and not about what your major is or isn't

That was at Ball State. Now I goto Purdue North West which is basically off comapus of Purdue West Laffiyet(I can't spell it). Bascially its 3 buildings. Not real clubs or anything here. Now when I transfer for Med school, god willing, I might try again. I really like acting, but I'm also not a super drama fag about it.
I feel so bad for my friend. She just graduated. With a degree in acting. Mind you she went to good schools,she spent 2 years in London at the London Academy of Acting and 2 year in NYC at a pretty good college there whos name escapes me. But man, degree in acting? Way to wase a few thousand dollars.
I really want to go back to working in the theatre. I could go back to the company I used to work for, or join up with my friends new company.
my friends company has recently got some big names associated with it, but my old company just did a run with John Glover... not that either of these would really be deciding factors
futility on

but those were the towns that are known for theatre.
I thought the Guthrie was pretty famous
London does quality theatre
New york is the theatre capital of the US
LA has all the film actors who also like to act
Chicago is also big on theatre and has produced some big names
Seattle is where they test shows to go to New York now ("sofisticated audience")

I got to see NPH's dick in a piece of theatre
isn't theatre graaand?
I roll with the Greek classification.
If the protagonist is better off at the end of the story, it's a comedy. If he or she is worse off, it's a tragedy. Romances can be either.

oh fuck me
someone buy me a plane ticket
ny theatre has pretty good actors
