12:14PM - kiss me kate cast....

superficiallaugh: don't

superficiallaugh: i'm so tired of the drama

people who aren't even involved in this show are getting sick of all this shit and this drama. that's sad. i know we're in the department, but all this drama is just sad. and we don't have time for it. there's only 22 days left for until the show, which in theatre terms is not much time at all.

kiss me kate cast. i'm getting really sick of everyone's attitude about this production. there are a lot of people who are trash talking it and are "pissed" and "concerned" about how "bad" it is. and to be honest, it does suck right now, and i'm worried myself, but sittin' there bitching about it ISN"T GONG TO MAKE IT BETTER!!! and i'm tired of this "high and mighty" attitude some of you have. i DON"T CARE how many shows you've been in or if you think you're better then anyone in the cast. you're not above the show , you're no god and your shit does stink. it's actually the people that KNOW BETTER and that i've seen in shows before that i'm having the most trouble with. and none of you are above this show, if you think you are the leave it, because i don't want you there, it's a waste of your time and my time. it comes down to this basic rule of life. this is the golden rule to theatre and pretty much everything else you'll ever do in life:

IT'S ONLY AS GOOD AS YOU MAKE IT !!!!

a show is only as good as you,personally, make it. that means put in some effort, and if you don't care about it either stop doing it or fake caring.

there are two things to make a show good; 1 ) your attitude 2) discipline. this means that you have to go to it with the right attitude. STOP YOUR COMPLAINING AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! if this cast spent half the time working on their lines or scenes together as they do complaining then the show would be amazing. and if you say something is going to suck or you think it's going to suck or you just don't care then it will suck. so be more positive about it and start putting forth effort. as far a discipline, my yelling at you guys and making you do push-ups/pay a dollar is for a reason. i'm not doing it because i'm just a bitch or i'm on a power trip, i'm doing it for you're own good. i gave up my part in this to stage manage because dr.j couldn't find anyone (and had seen be stage manage before) and the show would've fallen apart. i've stage managed before, i've been in shows before, i've seen a lot of plays, directed, i mostly act but i've done a lot of other things for shows .. i know what looks good and what doesn't and what works and what doesn't. i have a reason for everything i yell at you for if you know it or not. i can only go so far, you have to have self discipline which will come with caring. and if you don't care then leave the show.

stop talking EVERYTIME there is a measure of rest!! we have a very large cast, it started with 35 and is now down only a couple of people. as far as highschool shows a 35 member cast is really really large. that means that you can't waste time and talk. there's too many of you to be having little conversations all the time. if you stoped talking so damn much we'd get a lot more done during rehearsals and the show would suck a lot less.

bottom line, i don't want to be embarrased.. so straighten up your act or get out of the cast. because it doesn't matter to me if you leave the cast. and if people don't start taking this seriously and putting effort into it then i'm going to start kicking people off the cast. i'm not playing favorites in this show. i'm sorry if it makes me a bitch, but i don't care if you're my bestfriend, if you're not doing your job i'll handel it the same way i would anyone else. so don't expect any special treatment. i may love you sooo much in life, but i'm still going to be "hitler" to you during the show. i started to be nice for the show, but that didn't work. so i will be hitler to you when i need to. during breaks and at cast bonding stuff i'll be normal nice loving self. but not for the show.

i will not hesitate to beat you with your own shoe !

6:03PM - am i the only one that uses this ?

lahkittiebutsud: how i don't really fit there so maybe after this show i'll just stick with my friends
blahkittiebutsud: but i would hate to not have theatre be a part of my life
VanotherdeadcowV: ya
blahkittiebutsud: like, not be able to just hear the sound of my feet on the stage, but i just.. i dunno, it prolly sounds dumb but i never feel like i fit with the people there
VanotherdeadcowV: sure u do
blahkittiebutsud: really or you just saying that?
VanotherdeadcowV: no
blahkittiebutsud: i never really goof off and act all hyper like myself around most of the theatre geeks
blahkittiebutsud: heh, thanks
VanotherdeadcowV: everyone goes through this...if u truly feel u dont fit then drop it but i love it
VanotherdeadcowV: and i love my rose!
blahkittiebutsud: heh, i love you too
VanotherdeadcowV: O:-)
blahkittiebutsud: and this whole stage manager thing. i'm not doing the job i normally do. like i'm normally a pretty good stage manager, and like i yell a lot at stuff. but for some reason it's just not fitting together with this show
blahkittiebutsud: like, no one listens to me
VanotherdeadcowV: because ur to soft
blahkittiebutsud: i dunno, i'll be over this in a few days
VanotherdeadcowV: start yelling
blahkittiebutsud: yeah, that's what i figured
blahkittiebutsud: but i've never been soft before, just this one show
VanotherdeadcowV: ya

basically i'm going to start being the bitch i normally am when i stage manage.

i'm still stage manager for Kiss Me Kate. the reason i was out yesterday is because i spent half of the day in the hospital then was ordered to not move for the rest of the day. when i explained this to dr.j she understood. i've only missed two rehearsals where dr.j did not personally tell me i could leave, that includes yesterday and the day i was told it was just for music and that i didn't need to be there. so, yes, i'm still stage manager.

10:15AM - Coffeehouse

Theatre has kind of hit a lull, hasn't it? Joseph's almost over, and it will be the last play of the semester. What can you do until next semester, you ask? Well, look forward to Coffeehouse!

Ever wanted to prove your greatness with that one song you wrote, but never had occcasion to use? Think that monolouge you found will impress everyone? Want to just perform something for fun? Coffeehouse is your perfect outlet. It's your choice what you want to do. Show them Collins Hill is the most artistic school in the state. ;)

You can sign up for Coffeehouse outside of Mrs. Spaugh's room (2.111). It will be held Friday, December 13th at Something's Brewin'. Be sure to sign up! If you don't, it might not happen, and you don't want to ruin it for everyone else, do you?

9:32PM - Hello, Collins Hill!

My name is Megan, and I go to Grayson. I joined this community, and plan to leave very soon, actually, but I wanted to leave a message that everyone would see.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your one act placing. I heard it was absolutely wonderful! A friend of mine you probably know, Maria Fort, was curious as to how you did at competition, and I will be sure to let her know now that I am aware.

Also, the cast of Catfish Moon is putting on their LAST show at Grayson High School. We had a very hard time getting the show put on, as one of our actors got very ill. We decided to put it on once more, and I would like to invite ALL of you to come -- it is a GREAT show, and if nothing else, your English teachers may allow a review as extra credit. The show is November 21st (Thursday) in the Grayson Theatre at 7:00pm. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at mac137@bellsouth.net, or call our director, Ms. Morea, in the drama room at Grayson at 770 - 554 - 7819.

Hope to see everyone there. Break a leg with Harvey -- I've heard it was amazing!!

Megan

3:36PM - !!..Improv Club..??

Hey Guys & Gals!!

Andrea here with a friendly little idea for next year's Theatre Society!
I recall that around the end of the school year last year somma' my theatre friends were talking about possibly forming an Improvisation Club to meet weekly or biweekly. So if we started something like that, which of my little live journal-ing kiddies here would come?

I think it would be an excellent idea to start building some strong bonds and just generally make friends (not to mention have fun!). I'm sure newcomers to Theatre would love to have an environment that's so easy-going and relaxing. Auditions can seem such an extremely tense place when they're surrounded by unfamiliar faces. Even people that are already acquainted could stand to get a little bit closer. It'll build up some chemistry(!!).

And it's also an unthreatening way to get some practice and experience. And to watch some of our lovely seasoned performers do they' thang is always an inspiring experience, and also to allow the Freshies, etc. to work with them would also be a VERY neat thing for them. So I was thinking maybe warm-up, and then we could do some 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' type skit-stuff, and maybe some theatre games. Get some general craziness running. I think it would be both awesome an' fun as well as beneficial! ;)

WRITE SOMETHING YOU ALL!
Peace.

Andrea
P.S. At The End Of The Week Check The Website!

1:33PM - dirty as in hay/horseshit/dirt kind of dirty, get you're minds out of the gutter! ;D

hey, guys!

this has nothing to do with drama, but i'm going to talk to julia [kutney] and michelle [lady that owns the farm] if some of you guys can come up there one or two days. Just to hang out [and play with the baby goats!]

i already talked to tommy about it [haha, he heard the baby goat over the phone]. it'd just be something to pass the time since i know you all are dying of boredom. :)

so yeah. i'm sure most of you know my phone number, call me if you would like to come out! [and see the camel! OMAR the Camel!!!!]

I'm heading out there now. see you!

6:23PM - Simply Amazing

This is a super cool idea. I'm kind of mad I didn't think of it. :P

Kudos, Andrea. Kudos X 10.

Anyway, I'll post here if something relevant comes up. I can't wait for Harvey this Fall. It's a great script, somewhat akin to You Can't Take It With You.
