Helllooo!

Hehe... evil is fun. =P I act too, and while I usually end up being in nice-guy roles (more like me, I guess), I have enormous amounts of fun playing villains. I'm considering maybe picking up the "heartless" Boq... I'll wait a bit though so I can make sure I can handle three characters with no problems. I'm a bit limited with my computer time now, but I shouldn't be in a little less than a month when I go off to college.

[Claire Heart]

Eh, i'm back to college in a month! Will this be your freshman year?

[Taye Keats]

Yup! I'm excited, heh. My parents are pretty controlling... no computer after 6, stupid things like that. But I'll be free then. It'll be like Shiz, minus things like sorcery and funky uniforms. =P

[Claire Heart]

Weird. Mine are pretty laid back. I'm starting my sophomore year. Taking plenty of acting classes...and a few core ones. I'm a double theatre major: design and performance.

[Taye Keats]

Eh, I wish I could do that. I mean, I could... but my parents want me to major in Marketing, and they're the ones paying for it so I don't really have a choice. But I'm going to take as many acting courses as I can for electives, and take part in community theater while I'm there. ;D Who knows, I might even try out for Broadway after I graduate. The good thing about acting is that you don't have to major in theater to do it, it just helps.

[Claire Heart]

True true. But it sure helps! I've learned so much. But of course I picked a really good school that was primarily for the arts. And they're all working professionals. They're really amazing ppl to work with. They've worked for a lot of diff theatre types: community, summer stock (the dept head actually owned a summer stock theatre), children's theatre, broadway, off-broadway, touring, soap-opera, movies, tv shows. They have a lot of connections too, which is also nice.

[Taye Keats]

Yeah? Ugh, I'm jealous... that's so cool. =P Oh well, I'll just do my best and hope it works out. And if not, I have my marketing major to fall back on, so no worries!

[Claire Heart]

Yeah see, the only thing that I can do if I fail as an actress is either marry rich or teach. Or i guess I could try more risky professions like writing. Everything I like to do has no sure fire jobs! But, even though I say that, there are really a lot more jobs out there for actors/actresses than people think. but you have to be willing to travel wherever the jobs are.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say hi! Can't wait to get started!

[Glinda Upland]

Hi! Welcome ot Ozz!

[Polly Chrome]

Hey - I've been reading the thread. I go to NYU for Musical theater. Where do you guys go?

Boq sounds like fun. Mombie too.

By the way - Poly is a student teacher in Gale Tower (she's a senior, but taking on a TA role) so maybe I can open a beginning level Lit/history class. Might be interesting... especially with Poly being so naive.

[Glinda Upland]

NYU fancy! My greek big sis is actually looking into going to NYU for their two year Playwriting course. She already graduated with a threatre degree. I go to an itty bitty Liberal Arts school in Georgia. I'm only a sophomore, but I wanna be in NYC permenately NOW! Every time I visit I just feel like i'm home. I know i'm chasing dreams, but I wouldn't be happy any other way.

What's your favorite role (or show) you've played to date (musical and non-musical)? Have you lived in NYC forever or just since u've been to school?

[Dorothy Gale]

Hey! Just wanted to say hi! I'm in musical theater too!

[Claire Heart]

I think there's a tie to musical theatre and roleplaying. We like living in fantasy

[Ellie Baum]

Ain't that the truth!
