    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I was in a highschool production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it wasn't that bad.  The leads at least were good actors.

    Even though our Titania couldn't get up from her bower, because she'd torn her foot open on her locker on the day of the first performance.

    And come on, it's your sister.  Just go.

    One foot in front of the other, every day.
    Tell them to insert more duels.

    Ahh, high school Shakespeare. I always got stuck with the biggest roles. DX

    Romeo and Juliet? Juliet.

    Macbeth? Macbeth.

    Othello? Iago.

    e___e

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.
    I just helped to paint the backgrounds.

    They were really big though. Like... really big. I had to use a stepladder.

    I was Demetrius in MSND.

    That was fun.

    I would have loved to play Puck.

    Or Oberon.

    Most of the plays I was in was more modern stuff like The Odd Couple and Death of A Salesman though.

    I was Snoopy in Snoopy: The Musical.

    I was Rum Tum Tugger in Cats

    and...what was that 3rd one...
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    I was never in a play. I was too busy telling the director what he was doing wrong.

    I already knew my calling as proffessional jackass critic.

    I took theatre arts for two years but it's brutal on my paranoid and stage-shy psyche.

    I'm a moderately good actor, but I feel so damn scared when I step on stage...I'd rather be a VA personally, though the class was fun....

    ..Besides the horribly embarrassing memories it brings back >_>

    ^^I'm a writer/critic/director/actor

    I just need to be slightly better at guitar to be the world's greatest douche.

    ^Just tell me you didn't drop out halfway because of how embarrassing a role was... damn bitch left me with a monologue... >_>

    Acting and Singing is okay, but I'm just more suited to writing/directing.

    For: It's brutal though.

    I just don't think I'm fit for it. I actually have a really great voice and I can be ridiculously dramatic over even the smallest things (as you guys have called me out on here sometimes), and I know how to do basically every emotion really well. I wasn't taught it....I basically was like this my whole life.

    But I can't pull it together on a stage.

    Eh, I never really got much stagefright.  I'm usually nervous opening night just before the show, but when I'm onstage I'm having the time of my life.

    Also, I played the lead in the last play I was in, and I was apparently good enough that I made people cry.  Including the director.  :<
  • WaltzyWaltzy
    Ohh wow, who did you play~?

    I played Alfred Ill in The Visit, by Friedrich Durrenmatt.

    Most people only know it from the shit movie it got adapted into (if they've heard of it at all), but it's a really good play.

  • WaltzyWaltzy
    Ahhh, I've never heard of it. You must be amazing if you were able to make people cry though~! 8D

    Reminds me of the time I watched a rival school put on a play called The Yellow Boat.

    The first play that I was in in High School was The Laramie Project.  Our school was good about choosing plays.

    Ugh. Mine wasn't. The good ones I was in were all part of a multi-school group.

    My school always did Shakespeare and on one occasion Andrew Lloyd Webber. (gags)

    I was Mr Germ!

    ...Play for the elementary kids. I was their favourite because I exaggerated all my movements
  • EvergreenEvergreen
    My high school had pretty good theater all around. The Shakespeare I got to see done was The Tempest (the very first play I saw there, actually back when I was in 7th grade [it was a private middle/high school]) and a few years later Much Ado About Nothing.

    ...here at college we have an entire Shakespeare society, basically. A group that does almost nothing but Shakespeare, although there's nothing preventing the many other theater groups for doing it too. A group with a notoriously contentious relationship with all the other undergraduate theater groups. A group in which some of its most memorable performances were supplied by girls playing guys. A group that is basically all nerds, and has a huge membership overlap with what I call the Nerd Club Trifecta, which I will not go into in detail.

    A group whose performances the student newspaper reviewers either ignore outright or don't get if they're set in an even remotely unusual context. A group whose most renowned performer of recent years is my best friend! :D

    And yes, on the whole, we don't suck. Oh and by the way, I have never been in the cast or crew of a play since elementary school (that is to say since they stopped being mandatory >:|  ) but I'm not going to say why just now because, typically, this is the single longest post in the damn thread.

    I've been in some plays.

    I played the Djini of the Lamp in Aladdin.

    I played Captain Blackbeard in Treasure Island.

    I played Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet. 

    And again in Rome and Juliet 2: Thisa Time Itsa Personal (I wrote that one as a joke at School a few years ago and we put it on for shits and giggles)

    I played The Doctor in a local production of Doctor Who and the Inheritors of Time (I have no clue how legal it was).

    Lucky

    The Doctor is prolly the only character I'd ever want to play.

    "I've come to the conclusion that this is a VERY STUPID IDEA."
    I remember in 5th grade, my class put on some version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and the other class did Twelfth Night. I was Oberon, but you'd never see me play that nowadays.
  • MalkavianMalkavian

    ^^Not Rory?

    Honestly, if I played the Doctor he'd be something of a hybrid of the grumpy first and the 'get out of the way I know better than you' fourth.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.
    Rory? Nah, he isn't that fun to play. The Doctor is pretty much fun incarnated. and you get to switch between super srs and chillaxed in the blink of an eye. It's a role that invites over acting.

    Rory is still more awesome, because really. Punching Hitler.
