A theatre thread would be totally sexy. Oh wait, let's turn THIS into the theatre thread. I don't know about you clowns, but my favorite show I've done was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I played Hero, who is a blithering idiot and have never played a more fun part in anything I've ever done. I'm sewage flavored.

Could somebody do me a favor and recommend a monologue for an audition? I'm not certain about this one, as I've done nothing but musicals. It's for Danny and the Deep Blue Sea and I hear the director wants to see "our dark side" in the monologue. I read about the play and have a good idea of what it's about, I just haven't read, watched, or performed in anything exceptionally dark. Odd, that. Thanks.

One thing I've been kind of wondering about that perhaps some of you could shed some light on is based on my situation here. I'm an acting minor. Honestly, I don't have any interest in making acting a full-time job. I think theater is neat and like to go do whatever at the community theater. I've done lead roles, support roles, ensemble, tech, set building, pit...whatever, really. I enjoy it, but as for doing it for a living? No thanks. I'd take a role in a professional show every now and again to get away from a day job if they were offered, but I'd be the type to take long breaks and be unwilling to jump in that show 3,000 miles away for $200. I have no dreams of becoming an A-list actor because I'd like to be able to disappear into a crowd still. What I was wondering is if the theater world has folks that only act professionally occasionally or do it as a kind of part-time thing. I'll run through my acting classes and do whatever in amateur theater wherever I go to be sure, I was just wondering about anything that might happen somewhere between amateur and pro. Is that common? Does it happen at all? Is there anything one can actually DO with an acting minor?

I really don't think this here warrants a new thread but I participated in a Play In a Day activity at school. I really have no idea where this type of thing is or isn't done but it was a blast. For those that have no idea, it's literally plays written, rehearsed, and performed within a 24 hour period. They're usually little 10 minute things that can get...random. I signed up to write and wrote this here. The theme was "It needs to be called Second Wind." Where we went from that was up to us. I'm curious about what people think about it. It's the first play type thing I've ever written and the reaction to it was actually fairly positive. If it seems imperfect and a touch rushed, remember that it was written in the space of about 8 hours. http://www.policyoverkill.com/Misc/SecondWind.pdf
