Drama/Theater people?

[WickedPissah]

Hey all.

Is anyone involved with theater stuff or drama club or any kind of thing like that?

I'm on set crew for my school's drama club

We're presenting Dr. Faustus this weekend, I'm STOKED.

Anyone else doing shows soon? If so, what are you doing?

Me and my buddies used to do stage crew (for drama, assemblies, anything done in the auditorium really)

we had a lotta fun and ****** around a lot but towards the end of my 11th grade year we got tired of not being appreciated and one situation where our principal cussed us out (Told us not to **** up some big thing where an alum from like 1918 or whatever came back and he was successful and was getting some award, he really emphasized the "you better not **** this up!" part, we were not amused) eventually made most of us quit.

I spent my senior year doing the same ****: not going to class and ****** around, and instead of using stage crew as my excuse i just gave no excuse, and things worked out even better.

check out your area iatse local if this work is interesting to you......its not for everyone but you know real quick if it is......it can be very rewarding and the people in it tend to be varied and interesting.......which crew are you on,light,sound ,construction etc?

I used to do pit orchestras in high school, worked with the stage crew designing and building sets, and my favorite part was taking them down.

Dated a bunch of girls who did theater. Freaks in bed, but they tend to overreact on the little things. Whole lot of fun, but a whole lot of stress.

Same here tpylons - I did lights and sound through highschool, and dated a few actresses - drama queens to the max, but a lot of fun. Generally smarter than the average girl you'd find in class too, which I appreciate.

I did musicals and drama all through middle school, but then got involved in sports in 8th grade and would rather run and work out than recite lines..

I did drama throughout high school, acting and some lights. Did a bit of writing as well.

Not really drama/theater but I am a member of the colleges choir and Fine Arts Club. We're getting ready to do this 100 years of Broadway production crap, so I guess I'm involuntary involved in theater a little bit.

I joined the crew of my school's drama club for their production of Musical Comedy Murders of 1940. Yesterday was our opening night, and I screwed up the sound. For some reason, the CD player kept skipping back to the first track, and I didn't think enough to mute it. It was kind of bad.

Hopefully I'll have a better time tonight.

I'm on construction.

The awesome thing about our production of Dr. Faustus is that there's only one set, so we just go out and set it up before the show and then sit out in the house. It never changes!

Here's what I've done over the past year:

State Fair (high school production, upright bass, rehearsals + 3 performances)
Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story (professional production, sound op, 15 performances)
Menopause: The Musical (professional production, electric bass sub, 6 performances)
The Fully Monty (professional production, electric bass, 35 performances)
Grease (high school production, 15 performances, some on guitar, some on bass)
My Fair Lady (professional production, 42 performances, upright bass)
Oliver! (professional production, 35 performances, upright bass)
Altar Boyz! (professional production, music director and electric bass, 21 performances)

A week from Sunday I'll be starting a 4-week production of All Shook Up.

I used to be involved in theater back in the late 70's early 80's. Then the music bug bit me. I always knew I liked being onstage, but I can make a much bigger spectacle of myself playing bass.

[RTO]

I run sound and lights for all my highschools stuff. assemblies, shows and the likes.

I also run sound for my music teachers drama productions. Pretty cool stuff.

if i was to do it over id get my card early and hang on to it....if you leave it for a time you still build seniority and day calls can be a great part time gig.....the stage local here sets up the venues for big rock shows too.....think schwag.......construction is usually a day gig mon-fri and far enough away from the craziness of the stage or set......

I thought this thread was about Dream Theater

[WickedPissah]

We had our competition yesterday, and...WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!! so psyched, dude.

[Kyon`]

I use to do a lot more musical in high school, up till my senior year and just did pit on trombone. I really just got lazy and didn't want to memorize anything. The best party being a teenage boy were the after parties.

[DbNBassist]

It's what I do

I have been in numerous productions and i will be studying theatre arts at university soon.
