The Student Board has no life anymore! What is everyone up to?! — Page 8

J'aime Le Theatre I also have worked at Dollywood, although I didn't have the privilege of being part of the Entertainment crew. I LOVE Dreamland Drive Inn though. Almost to the point of it being unhealthy. I am pretty sure I have seen you in the show this season. You were great.

Also, I pretty much have a giant crush on two of your cast mates. lol

Who is teaching American Lit H at LVA nowadays? Not that it matters, since Hampton is gone and the English program is likely now in shambles. Also, good luck with trig/precalc. That class killed my soul.

I have callbacks for Rent tonight! Psyched. It was the first time I've auditioned for the drama department here at Vassar... kind of intimidating, because you audition in front of the production teams of three shows AND all the seniors who are involved for their senior projects (onstage or backstage), so it was like "Oh hey, 25 people all watching me attempt to act." Didn't really feel like it went well, but I got two callbacks... I'm assuming that means I got called back for a lead, which is awesome. I really, really want this show...

As for classes, well, I'm an English major now, so:

Classics in Modern Children's Literature (English, with a professor who crossed himself when mentioning Judy Garland, and discussed his love for Sondheim... amazing)
Selected Author: William Faulkner (English)
Bassani's Garden: Il Giardinio dei Finzi-Contini (Italian)
House Divided: US 1830-1890 (History)
Literature of the American Renaissance (English)
Composition & the Craft of Choreography (Dance)

And of course, my noncredit dance classes... ballet four days a week, modern one day a week (sob, can't fit in the second day), and dance company a million days a week. I can't wait for dance company to start... we're doing a Balanchine rep piece this year and Merrill Ashley (!! !!!!!) is coming down to set it. Hopefully I'll get into that...

see you all next month when I come back here

I am a senior in high school in NYC. When I joined BWW years ago, I was an aspiring actress. Then, I realized that what I like most about acting is directing, so now I'm an aspiring director.

Welcome back, aspiringactress!
Do you know where you want to apply for college?

You might want to look into Brandeis
Here, you can double-major in Theatre (with a concentration in Directing) and virtually anything else.

The title of this thread reminded me of "Sunday in the Park with George"...you know, when Jules and Yvonne are criticizing George's painting of the boys bathing...and they sing, "No life!"

Anyway, that's what I'm doing now. I'm the Nurse/Mrs./Harriet in the show. The music is so powerful and beautiful...entrancing, even. It's a wonderful thing to be a part of.

I joined these boards back in the summer of 2005, I think, when I posted quite a bit. Now, I come back every once in a while to see how everybody's doing. I've kind of become a little disillusioned with the whole idea of having some big dream to perform on Broadway, etc. I love performing, yes, but it's no longer my one goal. You know, no longer Broadway or bust. I'm planning on going to law school now.

Back in 2005, totally could not have foreseen that one.

Great to see you all are doing well, though!

Edit: I'm a junior at Northwestern this year.

I'm currently working with a director and 5 other cast members to create an incredibly experimental and abstract show to be done in our black box. The framework is pretty much there we just have to fill in the blanks. It's basically going to be a series of pieces strung together and created through viewpoints (heck YES!!). I love it because the cast is completely made of people from my senior class all with different creative processes. This show is also responsible for me going on a diet and exercise regiment because one of the pieces is a 1960s beach dance party. Bikinis and all.

Well I'm a freshman at Winthrop University, a Theatre (Performance emphasis) major, and I am currently in a production of You Can't Take It With You.

I'm a freshman in high school. The honors and AP classes I'm taking will be the death of me, i swear. I'm in 9th grade Mixed Chorus, 9th grade Chamber Choir, and the school wide select choir, Vocal Vikings. I'm currently in a show about adolescent issues and group therapy called Running. It's a fantastic play. And i have 2 auditions coming up :)

---

Welcome newcomers, welcome back former frequenters.

I have schwake for Am. Lit., and yes, the English department is in shambles. I am completely prepared to have my soul eaten my Mrs. Parlak in Trig/ Precal. Mr. Connor is incredibly sassy... But not a bad teacher. He has yet to say anything outstandingly scathing to his acting students.

I'm in Almost, Maine which starts rehearsal Wednesday. West Side Story auditions are in October.

Musical Theatre is... alright. Some people need to step up their game. If you look like you're about to cry when you get up to sing, you shouldn't be in that class.

My Opera class is the business once again, though. I'm glad I can tear up classical music so that class won't really be a problem in any respect.

It's gonna be a good year people!

EPIC FAIL STUDENT BOARD. Epic Fail. Haha

I did Viewpoints in my Acting class today. It was AWESOME!
