I arrived late for this meeting for it was my first to attend and I didn't know where the group met. Let me describe the building a bit before talking about what actually happen at this meeting. The Alley Theatre has two levels connected by a set of stairs. On the second level a little room resides and it's there the A-Team meets. I'm serious, it's little and only a few chairs reside there for our discussions. I recall coming in and introducing myself to people and sitting in the circle they had so kindly made. A guest speaker was already there but I had already missed everything they had said.
When the speaker left, I was properly introduced to everyone. The next objective of the evening was to do these breathing exercises for the guys/gals interested in becoming actors. It was more like yoga if anything and it kind of hurt for someone who is taking a break from Athletics.
After this exercise we met up with Kevin Raschke who is in charge of House Management. You're probably wondering what's and so I shall elaborate. Basically Kevin is in charge of recruiting volunteers to usher for theatrical performances. It sounds like a easy job but it's not. In fact it's important to understand how hard this man works to make the theatre look good. First of every usher has a dress code to follow[yay!]. Second, you have to arrive hours before the performance in order to get assigned a job.You might be briefed on safety procedures or told to hold the gong for intermission, the job varies.

Lore,
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping up with your posts for a while and I find it very intriguing that you are trying to create a play. I recently discovered that I have a fascination for acting and I am really excited about your project. It seems like you are doing pretty well with your project. I think it would be a good idea if you introduce your project to the drama club, which I am part of, and ask for advice/opinions from us. Maybe we can help you with ideas for your play. I know you are already in a group of talented people but more help couldn't hurt. It seems like it would be difficult to get your play out into the public and I believe you should start with Chinquapin. You can ask the drama club to perform your play. I think that may help spread your play into the public.
