My last week

For one professor I was to:
1. write a 5 page analysis
2. prepare a prose presentation (memorized)
3. act in a 10 minute play
4. design props for three one act plays
5. oranize props for six 10 minute plays
6. find and train my replacement

And that is all for just one prof. I also had to work on two senior thesis, wright major papers and speeches for my other 4 classes, and do a lot of reading.

My Theatre Thesis

Hopefully none of the department reads my blog...

I'm doing Return to Forbidden Planet for my thesis. I will be designing and building all of the props for the show. I did not pick this show, there were others I would have perfered to do, but this is the one I ended up with. Don't ask me why. In reading and rereading the play I have only found one prop. A vile marked "x-factor". My original design is to take a glass cigar tube, a piece of duct tape, and a sharpie and make my prop. I think that adiquitly summerizes the theatrical education I recieved at this institution. Don't you?

What my profile should say

My performance has been less than spectacular, but I did my best. I mean 3 shows in two weeks, My GOD! And then I found out about the other SIX!!! Oh well. It's not like I had Mid-Terms or anything. Oh, wait, I had midterms in every class! But fortunitly, my work comes after my classes. Only I get bad grades if I don't do my job, and worse if It dosen't look like I do my job. Maybe I'm just over commited. Doing all of that homework and work. Of course, those are the only two things that I am doing. It builds character.

Show 1

I built a show in two days. I even did some set work. A lot of set work. Take that Tempest. Boo YAH!!!
