Just recently joined myspace, and I want to network with people who are involved in theatre. Training myself to be a multimedia designer and want to meet people who I could potentially collaborate with.

I am doing the printed program for a one-act festival and looking for the proper formatting for the actor's bios. I have 20+ bios that have been submitted to me; Each one has a completely different format. Some have designated past productions with underline/ALL CAPS/quotation marks and I'm trying to figure out which is the traditional or formalized way to format all of them so they are the same. Any thoughts, suggestions or samples I could take a peak at?

I recently auditioned for the stage production of Pocahontas.
When I went in to the audition, the director was looking at my resume and commented that he had "hated" a movie I had appeared in (Transporter 2), but said it in a friendly, joking way. I jokingly agreed that the movie stunk, we all had a good laugh. I then handed the pianist my sheet music and proceeded to sing. I am a baritone, auditioned with the song "Beauty School Dropout". After the second verse he stoppped me, thanked me and told me he would be in touch.
My performance had been good, didn't miss a note. I am my own worst critic, so believe me, I would say it if I felt I hadn't done well.
Of course I never heard from them. What bothers me is that they were casting 12 roles and from what I saw, about 16 people showed up to audition, and one girl I know didnt even sing. So they REALLY didn't want me.
Was it my song choice? Or that I am a baritone and most music is written for tenors? WHY DIDN'T THEY WANT ME??????

Not being judgemental mind you, but I have an opportunity,
and would love to pursue it to the fullest extent.
Would love to hear from those with true life experience.

It has been a while since I have attended, and am wondering if jeans are acceptable for a matinee, or if it is still frowned upon.

I need a lengthy article about something new in theatre business. I need to give a short presentation summarizing the article in a speech class. Anyone have any advice on where I can find this information?
I tried NY Times, but I'm thinking their articles aren't long enough.

Thanks,

MK

There's a song that I think (am not too sure) is called They Called The Wind Mariah. I heard it on a t.v. show, when they were doing Karaoke. I am not sure who sings it, but I was wondering, firstly, does anyone know the song to which i'm referring? Secondly, if you know the song, do you know if it is from a play or something like that? It seems like one of those "Broadway type" songs, so that's why I was asking.

I have to learn a part for an amatuer play called 'Trap for a lonely man' , but I am having difficulty learning all my lines. I have tried taping parts of it, which does help. Certain bits are easy but others are quite hard to remember. We have had several rehearsals and now it's time to do it without books !

JASMINE: Do you have a light? I need a smoke so desperately and you don't smoke. I'm sure you don't smoke. Or maybe you DO smoke and I'm judging a book. Am I being hasty? I know I'm being manic but I really need a cigarette. Second hand smoke does kill.

I was reading one of my fathers medical journals. I have a predilection for reading medical journals. That was a big word. That was obnoxious wasn't it? Sorry! I do that sometimes-I think I'm trying to impress you. But I have all these medical journals in my apartment, unrecycled. I have copious amounts-there I go again-copius amounts of unrecycled paper just sitting in my apartment. It's really criminal. What I SHOULD do to be conservative and enviro-friendly is to get online. Are you online? I'm looking really forward to web stock.

I think that kinda of thing you can change our democracy. Do you have an Email address that I can Email you. something?-Ten years ago I almost drown in my bathtub. And um... did you know that when you're starting to drown and the water is coming into your lungs its similar to sleeping-or the FEELING is similar to sleeping. I mean I don't know. I didn't drown or anything. It was kinda funny.

I guess you had to be there. But if you think of the Titanic and all of those people ''asleep'' in their deckchairs. It is a FAR more palatable tragedy.-What? Do I seem crazy? I'm not crazy! I may talk a lot but I'm not crazy. If you met someone really crazy I'm telling you, you'd know. The most disturbed person I ever met was my roommate Elizabeth. She was a borderline paranoid schizophrenic, worst halitosis in the world, bar none-and she was attracted to me. Ewwwww. Although, she did come from a very wealthy family so when they came to take her out to dinner I cashed in my chips on that one.

Don't look at me like that-YES I spent some time in a hospital. So! I'm not crazy. I'm NOT CRAZY! Although a lot of people do agree my Mom should have never had children. I shan't, I've had my tubes tied.
