Is Rent appropriate?
Nov 23
2005, 07:31:35 PM
Hello,
I have a fourteen-year-old daughter who is very knowledgable in theatre and has been acting for a while and wants to see the movie Rent. She has heard the cast recording and knows what it's about. I'm not sure if I want her to go to the movie, though. Seeing this things is so much different than simply hearing them on a CD. Opinions anyone?

I'm looking for some sources for good, dramatic monologues. Or does anyone know of any "Classic" dramatic monologues for women?
Thanks!

I am ready to take all the thick rubber bands that I was issued, make them into a chain, make that chain into a noose and strangle my orthodontist.

This was the perfect day for me to read this thread!
I have been around dancers the size of twigs all week, and have been feeling like an elephant or something.
Alrighty enough rambling, just wanted to show you my appreciation for an uplifting message on a hard day.

There have been so many it's hard to remember them all.

Rooster and Lily and Mrs. Hannigan were being dragged out of Daddy Warbucks' house when Roosters moustached came off. This kid is a great actor HORRIBLE AD LIBBER he goes "I should have used super glue!!!" Let's just say a big argument about if super glue was invented or not followed that performance.

Appreciation

I think that in the theater world the only people who get shown appreciation are the leading people. True, they have worked hard, but not the hardest in most cases.
I am truly appalled at the way some people are treated. For example: Stage Managers, tech crew, Costumer, and the little chorus parts. As you can probably guess I have been shown very little appreciation in these areas of theater. AND NO ONE CARES! Well Stage Managers have a hell of a time. They are in charge of well. . .everyth

Well. . .I've never really had a big role. . .but I'm trying.
In a childrens theater I played Signore Volpone (the fox) in Pinocchio. But they wouldn't let me sing it baritione instead of soprano (which I could barely squeak out)
But I was in the chorus of "Les Miserables" Student Version when it was professionally produced at the local civic center and this year their doing beauty and the beast of which I'm also in the chorus and you can totally tell I'm bored because I'm droning on and

Anything that involves too much dancing (I'm working on it though)
Or anything where I would have to sing soprano.
I can sing a pretty good alto though (or baritone for that matter)

"Javert's Suicide" Philip Quast sends shivers up my spine.
"Empty chairs at empty tables" Les Miserables
"All the wasted time" from Parade (I know that's not the right title but I can't remember it right now)
"If I can't lover her" from Beauty & the Beast
arg! I'm having a brain drain. I'll get back to you when my brain returns.

Alto songs . . .anyone?
Mar 5
2005, 09:41:19 PM
Hey, I am an alto (duh) and whenever I have to audition or sing a song I can never find a really good song that shows off my range. I am a younger teen so nothing too old. My range is a low F to a high D. Hmmm for example I sang "By my Side" from "Godspell" with a friend once and it rocked (so I was told). Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
