This is just a snippet of conversation from another girl in the department. I submitted a play to the Ten Minute Play Festival, which is this thing that happens every semester where students write, direct, act in, and design ten minute plays. I've acted in one and I wrote another play (which, due to Midsummer, I did not get to see performed, only ( Read more... )

The cast list just went up and already people expect it to be bad.

I got in. Not very excited about my part. I am one of three girls who are going to be 'Sailor/Gentlewoman'. No talking. No name. No idea how this director treats nameless background characters so I have no idea how fun it will be.

Several boys who are not good at Shakespeare (or known ( Read more... )

I counted them up. I'm doing a student film this weekend and I will be around seven things that I am afraid of.

1) Children

2) Gun getting pointed at me
(Antique and deactivated, but still.)

3) Nature

4) Hiking

5) Inescapable cold

Two hours later and I am still out of it. My body has been wanting to crash for over a week now. But I  ( Read more... )

1) Two final performances (one for Phys Perf that makes no sense, one for Voice and Speech that is pretty straight forward but also Shakespeare).
2) Find time to study for my giant Dramatic Lit test comprised of information that did not soak into my brain.
3) Take said test.
D) Find time to research how Buddhism influenced Chinese theatre (short ( Read more... )

We got new acting assigments in class today ( Read more... )

If you insist on continuing in this manner I will have no choice but to kill you.

Seriously. What fucktard asks if A Streetcar Named Desire is 'a good play'?

So tonight was night 3 of 4 for The Cabaret and it was awesome.

The Rocky Cast elected to go to a strip club instead of coming to see us and the pilot light also went out, meaning out audience was bundled up while they watched us shiver and shimmy in our skimpy costumes.

But dear god this was the best night of them all. They cheered, they bantered, ( Read more... )
