Theaters

Or can you just take acting classes for a while? Theater is NOT my thing. Why does it seem like no celebrities have ever done it?

Are you interested in being an actor or are you only interested in being a celebrity? Paris Hilton is a celebrity, but she didn’t get famous because she’s talented. She got famous because she’s rich and photogenic.

Serious actors have almost always done theatre at some point in their lives. It’s the one way to learn the craft of acting that’s available to almost everyone and is relatively inexpensive. Acting classes can help, but there is no substitute for experience on a resume, particularly in the eyes of an agent.

Agents are interested in representing actors who can go to auditions and land the part – which means they, the agents, will get their commission from the actor’s work. That means the actors have to have:

1) Marketable skills (in other words, experience), or
2) Extraordinary looks, or
3) Incredible raw talent, or
4) A relationship with someone famous

Most wannabees don’t have 2, 3 or 4, so that means their only way into the business is to get experience. If you don’t want to do theatre – fine, don’t. But getting an agent without some kind of experience on your resume is difficult, and getting into film and TV without an agent is even harder.

So by next month we will be having a theater presentation in our class. So me and our class president were thinking of what to present. I then thought up of using one of Shakespeare’s plays for it. So do you think it is okay or not? I’ll also accept some recommendations for our theater presentation.

No

Based on your knowledge of the definition of morality plays from the Development of Theater lesson, explain in detail how The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is a morality play.

I missed class that day too, maybe one of your classmates can tell you the pages you need to read to answer this yourself; I’m sure it will be on the test.

it’s just a techno-ish beat and it says "we’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, preferably without auto-tune"?

sounds like a techno version of the song that was in the Commercial in the 70’s try youtube

In cartoons, you usually see sandbags falling from the top of a theater. What are these actually used for, and where would they actually be set up?

Used as a counterweight, for ballast hoisting things to the flyspace above the stage. If the ballast and the items being "flown" are the same weight it’s easy to move them up and down using a pulley system.

Most theaters use specially designed theater weights nowadays rather than sandbags.

So, I just realized how amazing it would feel to be one who acts in theater performances and plays. How old do you have to be?

there is no age limit. its whatever age the characters in the play are.

PLEASE WATCH PART 2/2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a great fan of Dream Theater, here’s my medley of the entire systematic chaos album. I tried to play all the parts as close as Portnoy did it in the album. What was difficult about this video, beside learning all the parts of course, was to play and record it in only one take. That’s what i wanted to accomplished because it’s every crazy parts of this entire album. This 20 minute song is like a drum marathon. Because it’s too long to be only one video, you’ll have to watch part 2/2 which is, for me, MY FAVORITE. I hope you’ll enjoy it!

Part 1 – This is from a 1938 radio broadcast by the Mercury Theater On The Air of G.K. Chesterton’s novel, “The Man Who Was Thursday (A Nightmare)” performed by The Mercury Players. Many of the people in this broadcast such as Joseph Cotton would later end up in Welles’ big screen productions. Orson Welles plays the leading character Gabriel Syme. This production was well acted–John Houseman and Orson Welles managed to scale back the novel to fit a one hour time slot quite well. *The Man Who Was Thursday* is one of the best fantasy novels in the English language.

This is a concert where Dream theater plays one
of the best songs ever_MATER OF PUPPETS

PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT
—————————————-

End of passion play, crumbling away
I’m your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

(PRE-CHOURUS)
Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your Master
Master

(CHOURUS)
Master of Puppets I’m pulling your strings
Twisting your mind, smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can’t see a thing
Just call my name, ’cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, ’cause I’ll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I’m killing you

(PRE-CHOURUS)

(CHOURUS)

Master, Master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Fix me!
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, Drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

(PRE-CHOURUS)

(CHOURUS)
