Theatre :)

I love going to the Theatre, but it has become so expensive in recent years. I love musicals with Chicago being right up there, nothing to do with lots of stockinged women really! My fav is the cult musical The Rocky Horror Show, funnily enough lots of stockings on stage and in the audience there .. I feel a theme developing

Aww, you're so cute, Olly! I actually love the theater but I hardly ever get the chance to go these days. I haven't been in forever but I used to go to see Shakespeare plays all the time with my grandpa. My first one was The Merry Wives of Windsor and I was hooked! I really can't decide my favorite but I really love seeing A Midsummer Night's Dream. It could easily be my fav. I've seen it at least 4 times and it's so different every time. I love musicals but sadly have only seen the film versions but I've seen all the classics at that and well, you know I love comedy! I'm very interested in this panto. We don't really have that here. I think I would like it though. I love British humor- I always have. I used to stay up late as a kid and watch all the old BBC reruns on PBS. They were my favorite. Does Mr. Bean count as panto? Hahaha! Anyway, I wish I could see more theater productions. xx

I'm an actor by trade, and part of my motivation to lose weight is for a role I'm hoping to film next year.

But as for Theatre, anyone here heard of the Globe Theatre?I've performed there. Twice. I was Benedict in Much Ado About Nothing, and Caliban in the Tempest.

I also directed a Comedy version of Romeo and Juliet set in the Wild West that was performed at the Globe and in Brighton

Theatre student here

I was a theater major. I mostly enjoyed backstage stuff. Props especially, but scene design and staging were fun too. I also loved acting, but I was too shy to ever do much of it. Part of my "list of things to do when my kids aren't such life and money sucking leeches" thing is to give up the 40 hour cubicle week and work on getting back into TV and/or Theater. I would also LOVE to do voiceovers. Took several workshops and enjoyed it immensely.

Also was a Renaissance Faire actress for 3 years. Heavy into the So Cal circut. Seahawks/Port of the Black Sail anyone?

:drinker:

I love theatre! I'm an actor mostly, but I'm also the artistic director at a children's program. When I was really active in the preforming end of theatre, is was my main exercise program, as I did a lot of dancing and physical comedy (pantomime clowning type things,) and so between conditioning, rehearsals, and performance, I really didn't need to work out! lol

But yeah, I've gotten older and now with the Shakespeare and the backstage work, I've packed on some chub :P

I sense a group forming... what do you guys say we form a theatre group on MFP?

Yaaaaayyyy theatre people!!!! I've done some, I'm an amateur actor and student trying to squeeze in shows when I can. I've done lots of Victorian age shows, some of my favorites including The Matchmaker and Quality Street. You Can't Take It With You was A LOT of fun! I've done smaller shows and silly shows but its an amazing life for sure. Performed Jimmy Shine my last year in CO then moved out here and my most recent show was Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, which was a FANTASTIC show, love it or hate it apparently, but I feel my director did a BAD *kitten* job at making it brilliant. I prefer being on stage but if I feel otherwise creatively inclined I will do backstage-ness.

I used to be able to sing. NOT SO MUCH ANYMORE!!! And I've never been able to dance haha. Two words: CABARET AUDITION. SO funny. Though I would kill to be in a musical such as that or Rock of Ages. Love most musicals, opera, classic and abstract theater, I love it all. YAY!
