i am becoming more and more disillusioned with the theatre department. its really starting to piss me off. theatre is supposed to be a place where the misfits get together and have somewhere to belong. so why the fuck do we have elitists in our theatre department? just because you actually get into most of the shows here makes you better than me? are you kidding?? that only shows that a) you're better than me in talents, but you have also taken more classes than me and have had more experience...or b)the department is becoming like high school and only casting the same people over and over because they can't bring themselves to risk a part on someone they don't know. what is it the theachers are always telling us? oh yeah...TAKE A RISK...hmmm.
I am getting really fed up with sitting in the lounge and trying to take part in a discussion and feeling like my points aren't valid enough because i haven't been cast in a season show ever and therefore don't know what i'm saying. So many of the people who are continually cast in shows, have this wholier-than-thou attitude that is so not right. i came here to learn about something i love and to better my craft. so did you. what the fuck makes us so different that you can treat me like i don't belong, that i'm not good enough.
When i came here last year i was really excited to become part of something new and really start to learn about what i AM going to do for the rest of my life. All of a sudden, its like i don't belong here....i feel so out of place and all i want to do is leave.
i just have to make it to next fall and then i'm gone.
