Title: School Plays?
Post by: Squirtlejazz on March 18, 2008, 04:24:16 PM
Have you even been in any? What show? What grade? Did you suck?

I'm in the pit orchestra for our school play.
Last year we did Peter Pan and I was in the pit. Apparently I am the best clarinet/saxophone in the school.
I am also in it this year, we're doing Beauty and the Beast.
This years music is a lot better.

Discuss plays you have been in.

Yeah, I was in the pit quite a few times over my high school career. I wasn't much a big fan of the whole acting deal but playing tunes down below felt so exclusive. I played classical violin by the way,

I was in my school's Junior High play in 8th grade, in a minor role. It wasn't really that fun. I tried out freshman year, but didn't get a part. All of the theater junkies at my school are assholes, and I don't really like plays that much anyway, unless they're by Arthur Miller or Shaw.

I'd consider playing in the pit, if any of my school's shows had one.  :(

They do a musical and a play each year, but still no pit because my school has awful music programs

In a class I had in elementary (a gifted/talented thingy), we got into groups and wrote a play every year and that did voted on the best and the class got to act it out later in the year at a university or something. I had it in 3rd to 5th grade.
In 3rd, I didn't do a play and I got to go anyway because I was new to the class.
In 4th, I was unable to get one done because the other person in my group was an absolute retard (who got to go anyways because he was new).
And in 5th, I spent two entire class periods (we only got to go once every other week) working on a play based on the Trojan War by myself. It was the only one that didn't look a train wreck in writing and wasn't a generic interview/"talk show" thing involving a famous president, Albert Einstein or Amelia Earhart. It was also 5 pages long, compared to the others' 1.5.

The Amelia Earhart one won the vote. They said mine was too long (the one that one took only 5 minutes, yet one from another school was like 90), and that "Odysseus" and "Agamemnon" were too hard to pronounce. :(
I got a minor role and only had one sentence.

The teacher said it was great, and that it was on a high school level.
Maybe I should submit it again if I'm ever in a theater class or something.
