I am interesting in learning to act ( I have absolutely zero experience----but it seems fun).....anyone have experience with this...how would I go about signing up for an acting class if they did allow it. My college is a medium sized (almost 4,000 undergrads) catholic school if thata at all important

Just to expand on the good (i.e., non-moron) answers: of course you can take an acting class if they're offered--I don't know any college that won't let you take one to fulfill a general education requirement in the arts. Just look in your catalog under GE requirements--it should list all the valid classes. BUT: if you're really interested in learning to act, realize that it will take more than one GE class. Very often colleges have acting classes for non-theatre majors (like yourself), which are very simple and do a lot of theatre games, some scene work, etc.--no experience necessary, and you're in with people just like you. But they also have acting classes for theatre majors--people who intend to do it as a career--and these are much more intensive, sometimes requiring certain prerequisites or even an audition to get in. Make sure you research the classes carefully before you sign up, otherwise you could find yourself in the wrong one. On the other hand, you might also find yourself (as many people I know did) liking it so much that you end up changing your major....Good luck, and have fun.

Every undergraduate theatre department with which I've been associated has offered an "Intro to Acting" course for non-majors. These tend to be very popular with students from other disciplines looking for a course that fulfills a Humanities/Arts requirement. Good luck!

Yes,
In fact many schools have classes that are titled "Acting for Non-Theatre Majors" or something along those lines.
Acting classes are a wonderful way to show that you are a well rounded student

Oh no... you absolutely are never ever permitted to mix the two... Sports requires all muscle, and no brain... In fact... if you have a brain at all, you will never be any good at sports. It is a neanderthall activity, and there are strict guidelines as to who can participate in sports. Acting on the other hand....

Just tell them that acting is a sport. Look at how much Dave Chappelle sweats.

When I taught acting and cinema, I had students who were atheletes. I had the entire ASU football team one semester in my Survey of Cinema class and have had lots of different majors in my Acting 101 classes. The diversity is welcome.

of direction you could think of alternative classes despite if it is not your substantial. college is the terrific time to adventure different factors of activity. i became right into a sociology substantial and took all forms of communication, drama, journalism, music, and artwork electives. you may seem into drama a hundred and one. solid success!

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take one. Just go see your academic advisor or whatever you have. You'll probably need a certain number of electives anyhow, so I don't think it should be a problem.

You always have gerneral electives that you need to take, just make sure that you choose an acting class to satisfy them.
