High School Theater

I feel bad for you. High School Drama kids are sad, because they put their heart into it and don't realize how campy their work is. Do you think Adam West and Burt Ward ever took themselves that seriously?

 

You poor bastard.

 

You aren't being harsh. Someone needs to tell those kids that they aren't going to be successful in a career in acting.

 

LOL!

Man. What gets me the most is how seriously these kids take their crappy campy productions. They act like they just acted in the Lord Of The Rings movies, when in fact they just made a horrible rendition of Footloose or 1984.

 

Drama kids should be told how much they suck daily.

 

Show her my posts! I need her, and all the other drama kids to know.

 

Clerk, you should do stand-up comedy.

 

High School Drama is part of the Liberal Arts Machine that is destroying America.

 

I hate these productions with a passion. I went to one thinking i had no life. Then left feeling a lot better about myself.

 

They get better in college. I just got back from The Diviners and it was pretty good.

 

I'll have you know I was in a high school musical production, and...

Okay, most of us pretty much sucked. I got a part in the play because I had the deepest voice at the auditions, not because of talent. That's gotta be telling you something, right there.

 

In my youth I was going out with this hot ballerina. A few weeks into it, she was going to perform. Of all of the dancers, she was the only one who severely f***ed up, they were supposed to run across with this huge bar with streamers attached to it, it took four people to carry it and she tripped on one of the streamers which made everyone drop the bar and she hit her face on something really hard.

She pretty much ruined the show. So afterwards, she comes out bawling with this hideous red mark on her swollen cheek and all I could think was, "Wow, you sucked."
We broke up shortly after that.

 

I really like drama but in college we started all this surrealist drama which consisted of us pretending to be birds

 

Have you ever watched T Ball, or pee wee soccer (football), or pretty much anything where its a bunch of Newbies? Of course it sucks, what do you expect? What this thread is really about is how p-whipped the author is. Enjoy beeyauch

 

I had to watch the Laramie Project. I feel for you..

 

Ha that sucks. In my high school the english teachers used to offer extra credit to people who would go (I never went because my grades were already good enough and 1 point wasn't worth it). The plays were so bad even kids parents wouldn't go. At least the actors weren't afraid of messing up in front of a big crowd.

 

My school has a good drama department.

We watched that film in a diversity class I took last semester. I would imagine it sucking as a play anyway, but performed poorly by amateurs? May God have mercy on your soul, man.

 

I'm essentially one of those theater geeks, but from what I've seen of me and the drama program we have, it's probably one of the good ones.

I feel for you on the bad ones, though. Unfortunately, those seem to get the most credit. High School stuff is a lot like the Oscars--as long as you can play a ****** half-way well...

 

I was in one. We did Alladin a few weeks back. It was so diorganzied but in the end I had fun the last two night preforming.

 

My condolences.
