I don't think very many people read it, because I deleted it a couple of hours after I posted it. I was quite angry when I wrote it because to me, it felt like my whole family was under attack because we've all been involved with the Palmdale Playhouse in some aspect for years. When I had a chance to cool down a bit, I realized it may have been a little harsh and not a good idea, which is why I deleted it. But here it is, a week later, ...

Really, really little kids, to be precise. Keltron and I have taken on the monumental and VERY FUN task of directing a pared-down version of The Bard's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to the kids at Lancaster Montessori School. The kids, aged 3-7, are learning one of Shakespeare's most-loved comedies and a lot about the illustrious playwright himself. I was initally approached by Sujatha Arseculeratne, Directress of Lancaster Montessori ...

The food at Don Juan was great when we went there, but the margaritas.... meh. Though Matt assures me that they must have just slapped them together because we came in so late. The place is open later on weekends (we went on a Thursday), so I'd be willing to give the margaritas another shot at a time not past closing. If the drinks aren't good though, of course it can't serve as an ...

Tomorrow, the theater is open from 7:30pm onwards... hopefully they can open a classroom or something for us. Whoever can meet up, please do so.

From the article: Quote: In 2008 Actors' Inequity, a spoof of the Actors' Equity website, was launched. The site offers an "Inequity Card" for performers to carry. In addition, Actors' Inequity offers free resources to non-union and non-paid actors - and to non-equity theaters. Actors' Inequity was originally criticized for supporting "unpaid ...

Effective immediately after the close of The Sonnets (an obligation I will fulfill to completion with a professional attitude), I've withdrawn my involvement with the Playhouse. A conversation with a staff member last night led me to realize that the problems at the PPH, as I've addressed in other postings, are insurmountable at this time. The frustration it's causing me simply isn't ...

I'm a newbie to stage acting (my magician skills are totally different) and I'm having difficulty memorizing two sonnets for this upcoming production. Last time I needed to memorize, I recorded myself saying the lines, and that helped, but it's not helping this time for some reason. Any suggestions?]]> Theater Chat Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:28:41 GMT http://avthespians.darkbb.com/theater-chat-f1/memorization-techniques-t39.htm#170 http://avthespians.darkbb.com/theater-chat-f1/memorization-techniques-t39.htm http://avthespians.darkbb.com/theater-chat-f1/welcome-to-theater-general-chat-t1.htm QuantumCowboy
