Oh, who am I kidding!? We all could use a little Midori!!! LOL!
2) TheatreDiva90016, I'm a little confused by your message:
"You'd know who Angela was if your head was shoved so far up your.... uh. Never mind."
Are you saying that IF my head were shoved up my ______, then I would know who Angela was? I'm confused. And I still don't know who this Angela is that you're referring to.
Although, I do hope it's Angela Lansbury. I like to pretend she's my grandmother sometimes.

But, couldn't he be just a smidgen more entertaining? I'm mean, after all, he's a drama teacher. Although, it appears he's a fairly untalented one.
Pity his poor students that have to sit through his inanity on a daily basis.

Just to clarify, JustAGuy: I am a drama teacher. I am not here to entertain you. I am here to inspire you. To instruct you. To lift you up to become the ultimate you. I like to think of myself as the LEADING PLAYER to all of my little PIPPINS and PIPPINettes that I guide on a daily basis.
If you are ever in Omaha, I invite you to sit in on a class of mine. Perhaps you could give a guest lecture on having a
BAD ATTITUDE!
I'm only teasing, JustAGuy. I actually think you have fire and spunk. I bet you'd be an amazing Booth in my musical, THE ASSASSINATORS. Incidentally, after I mount it this spring at the high school, I'm planning on doing a production at one of the community theaters here in the fall.
If you are in the area, or just want to send me eight bars of an up and bouncy via YouTube or Vimeo, I'd love to see you for Booth! Here's a little taste of what you'd be bringing to life:

And, for the rest of you out there, as always...

Thus ends inspiration.

And during this magical time of year, Phyllis, how could you NOT believe that I'm a real person. I'm as real a the anger you very likely have toward Frank Wildhorn (save his work on B&C... I've heard that's to die!).
As for being derivitive, I suppose I am. If by derivitive you mean I DERIVE pleasure from inspiring those around me and I D-RIVE my students to perform better by my unique teaching techniques.
Then yes. I am derivitive.

The Leading Player? So you are building these kids up only to knock them down in order to convince them to kill themselves?
Posted: 12/22/11 at 10:56am
And to clarify my Pippin analogy, my goal is not to lead them to kill themselves. The choices they make are their own. I can only illuminate the path to greatness. It's up to them whether or not they wish to become the brightest flaming light in the night sky, or a boring drone.
I tell every class I have at the beginning of each year "look to your left, look to your right. One of these people is better than you. The other one will be more successful than you." Then I go straight into some "Zip, Zap, Zop."
Puts a fire under them EVERY time!
