10 Things I Wish I’d Been told in College (and 1 I was)

Everyone loves lists. Well. I love lists, and while there’s been a lot of talk over my three years actively blogging about theatre about the failings of the Theatre Education Industrial Complex, we’ve not really attempted to create a curriculum we approve of. Largely because, well, creating a new theatre education paradigm is hard. And I’m not going to do that here, because I’m not sure how to even begin. Continued at: http://is.gd/4DIjM Continue

I guess I do need acting lessons

Last night, a friend told me something told to him by a local producer/director, that a) I don't audition well, and b) I could use some acting lessons. Nothing I didn't know already. So, I'm thinking of looking seriously for a course. I have two issues, though: 1) The $$$ thing. I have a little bit of cash to play with, but I must work full time, which means no five-days-a-week intensive courses. I'm looking for something in the $150-$200 range, evenings or weekends. 2) I've been burned… Continue

The Intervention (A Short Play)

The Intervention Setting. God’s house. At rise. JESUS and SATAN are sitting on the couch in God’s living room. SATAN Where is he? You said he’d be here by now! JESUS He’s usually home by six. I don’t know where he could be… (The sound of jingling keys is heard.) SATAN Speak of the devil… JESUS Be cool, Satan. Let me do the talking. If we act like this was all my idea, maybe he’ll listen. (GOD enters, carrying a bag of groceries.) GOD (not paying much… Continue

American Idiot Review, Part 1

Alright, so I suppose I should put some thoughts about American Idiot into words before I completely forget about it. This is very sketchy and in note form. (You can see the pics I uploaded here.) Overall impression? Fun, ampy, splashy show. Had a great time. Not sure how it really works as a play. Dramatic conflict? Not so much. I wasn’t familiar with the story when I went in, but it goes something… Continue
