I know some time ago there was a thread about band geeks i think but that was some time ago, but anywho, i was wondering how many theatre people we got on the forum.. whether u were in drama in high school or just did it on the side or take theatre for college or whatever

I was in drama my 10th, 11th, and 12th grades of high school. and I'm a theatre major. I have an AA in Theatre Arts and right now I'm working on my BA in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in acting. But I've been doing theatre since I was 7 years old. I've done several different types of theatre, school, church, and community. And I co-founded a theatre company with my best friend. I also have done other jobs such as stagehand, director, assistant stage manager, stage manager, sound, tickets, and programs...

I've pretty much done it all but lights.. Acting is my favorite job, sound is my second favorite job. I was just wondering if we got any other theatre people out there that pay attention to this forum. I know there's atleast 2 on the forum bc I've seen them post in the story sections..

But Anyways, thanks for reading.. adios..
 
Yes, I was in a theatre group when I was a teenager. We exclusively performed self-produced shows, and we were in the depths of the forest in eastern Canada, so didn't get much exposure. We dispersed to several corners of the globe in the late 90's and lost touch.

I'm more of a watcher now. We have a great festival here in Edinburgh in August. Glasgow, where I used to live, has the most varied and experimental stage scene I've encountered.

Curiously, as a writer, writing for the stage is the genre in which I've had least practice.
 
I've been...
A panda in a Christmas Play
An old maid in The 12 Days Of Christmas
A mama in Fiddler On The Roof
A train passenger in The Music Man [you had to sing REALLY fast]
A whining school boy & A fairy in Shakespeare

& that's as far as my acting goes.
 
I was in drama club my last year of high school to get on the good side of my AP English teacher who ran it. All they did was go see plays though, so it was kind of cool. I also took a drama class that year because I thought it would be easy. It was, aside from actually having to act. We did the play "Our Town" and I was the stage manager. I picked the part that would have to display the least amount of emotion, but who had the most lines. It sucked having to remember everything.

As a pretty unenthusiastic, monotone person, I prefer to watch or read plays, rather than being in them.
 
I went to theatre camps when I was a kid, and when I was a bit older I enrolled in a speech and drama school. I went to a fine arts high school for theatre. I've acted in fringe festivals, semi-professional shows, and dozens of amateur shows for several different troupes and companies. I've also directed three shows.

I've done at least one show a year since I was six. Lately, I've been focusing on Shakespeare.

I've been trained in every tech job, though don't like it much on the sidelines.
 
WELLLLLLLLLLLLL

I LOVE theatre. I started doing musical theatre in high school, and I've been in close to 25 musicals since 9th grade. I'm in school right now for opera and so I've been a few operas now as well. In fact, I'm waiting to hear back from an operetta I just auditioned for 😛.
 
The high school I went to was partnered with a school called the Youth Performing Arts School. YPAS was one of their major magnet programs, and I majored in Theatre there for my entire high school career.
I was an extra fighter in The Outsiders my sophomore year, the comic lead in She Stoops to Conquer my Senior year, and had a lot of major roles in Theatre program workshops, student-written plays, and student-directed one-acts.
After graduating, I played Romeo in the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival's production of Romeo and Juliet, and then played Tybalt in the University of Louisville's production of the same play later that year.

I haven't done anything since then, because I just don't have much time for it anymore, but I desperately miss being on stage. 🙁
 
hmm.. there are quite a few theatre people here then i guess, i was expecting like 2 or 3, not 7 😛
 
This community is full of flamboyant Liza Minelli types.

Come on, get happy.

Or some shit.
 
Clearly. I wouldn't say I am flamboyant. Then again, that's why I can't act for shit. Unless I were to play the part of Daria.
 
i'm not flamboyant and I can act, so that's not really a qualification of being able to act 😛
 
I've always loved theater. 🙂

I've done some little bits of things throughout school but once I got to college I ran out of time.

I'm trying to get back into it though somehow. :happyhop:
 
I tried to act all through high school and my first year of college. When I moved to New York 20 years ago, I took an acting class. Ultimately, though, I found that I do better writing for the stage than acting on it. And I do love the atmosphere of artistic communities.
 
My school system never put a premium on theatre, but in college I was seeing quite a few people acting as though they were the next generation of Hollywood starlets. I would consider them more the hipster crowd. Which isn't saying much, since I was roped into a a very hipster heavy literature program.
 
Used to be. Then in collage I switched from Drama major to Radio/TV/Film. I still do community theater stuff when I can, and see as many shows as possible.
