Drama Club - 2007/03/13 17:06This has nothing to do with musical theatre, however it is still very exciting. Today (after having found out about this yesterday), I went to our drama instructor's room to pick up an audition sheet. The first exciting thing here is that there is actually no audition required! Everyone that has shown up thus far is going to be involved, including me! The other exciting thing is the format of the show: we are going to present thirty plays (written ourselves) in sixty minutes. The audience, as they enter the theatre, will get a sheet with the numbers on it--no titles--and they will choose the order in which they want to see the plays. We will then have maybe a minute or two for preparation and then we perform! This is also very neat because it's my first experience with this particular drama club.Caitlin

Re:Drama Club - 2007/03/13 19:21Wow that seems so cool! My school's drama club doesn't do anything like that and also doesn't meet during the play or musical.
Good luck at memorizing all the lines and not getting them confused! (If I was doing it I might)The opposite of Rent is Oklahoma!!! Why didn't I think of that?

Re:Drama Club - 2007/03/14 09:40Yeah, that's very cool! For any of you in the Chicago area, there's a theater group called the NeoFuturists who present 30 plays in 30 minutes, a show they call "Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind." The fun thing is, if they go over the time limit, they order out for pizza for the entire audience. Maybe you guys could add a twist like that. (Ha ha.)-- Kari

That's so neat that you know about the NeoFuturists, because that's where the idea of our show originated! Also, we do have a similar twist--if we sell out, we order pizza for ourselves.Caitlin

But it's wicked fun!--Josh
