It is usually pretty quiet.

When someone does post a question, I think they usually get a response, though. So there a few people that monitor the forums on a regular basis.]]> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:02:48 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=29112#29112 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=29111#29111 Author: MartyW

So much so, I haven't been here in a few years! Retired now and got to thinking about it and thought I'd see if the forum was still here. Is there much activity these days? Any new posting rules, etc I may have missed? ]]> Thu, 25 Feb 2016 07:48:00 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5613&PID=29111#29111 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29101#29101 Author: Majicwrench

Ha, I check here about every month, glad to see something....Highlights?? Well, I kept our little backwoods acting troupe busy all year. Macbeth, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, now Christmas Carol. And a Haunted House and a few other bit gigs.
Next year, just hope to keep it up. We have a good bunch of people, they look to me to keep things moving. ]]> Thu, 17 Dec 2015 18:53:28 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29101#29101 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29100#29100 Author: hobbyactor

Those are some great roles!

Always nice to have a supportive spouse encouraging you to audition. I'd say mine tolerates my theater habit, but he always promotes the shows I'm in.

Beverly in August: Osage County was a 2013 highlight for me, and 2014's highlight was Nixon in Frost/Nixon.

Had to cut back the last couple of years because my wife was ill. She's better now, though, and pushing me toward more auditions.

Thanks for playing! Here are mine.

2015 Highlights:

Played the role of Karen in an awesome production of August: Osage County.-- the production took home 15 awards at our annual awards ceremony for local theatres! Was also a cast member in two other great productions (Deathtrap and The Butler Did It) Three shows in a year is just about right for me.

I also saw many wonderful shows in the area, in both professional and community theatres.

2016 Goals:
I hope to find roles in another 3 productions as varied as the ones from 2015.]]> Tue, 08 Dec 2015 08:11:56 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29098#29098 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29097#29097 Author: edh915

2015 Highlights:

Was able to land the role of Sigmund Freud in Freud's Last Session with an excellent co-star and an equally excellent director. We had really good audiences, especially considering the rather spikey subject matter, e.g., a debate on the merits of religion vs atheism taking place on the eve of World War II.

Other highlights:

Saw a few exquisitely memorable shows by other local groups. Other Desert Cities, The Drowsy Chaperone, and [title of show].

Goals for 2016:

Hoping to get the go-ahead on directing By Jeeves for another group.]]> Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:48:49 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29097#29097 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29096#29096 Author: hobbyactor

This board has been so quiet lately!

Does anyone care to share their theatrical highlights of 2015 or goals for 2016?]]> Mon, 07 Dec 2015 08:13:11 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5609&PID=29096#29096 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5603&PID=29083#29083 Author: edh915

I once had the idea to do ART with women instead of men. I wrote for permission, and was advised by the author that "women wouldn't act that way", so I lost out on that chance.

Now I'm envisioning Barefoot in the Park with a gay couple. You wouldn't even have to change the names, Paul and Cory work fine. I haven't sat down yet to see if any dialogue other than pronouns would need to be altered. - And, most importantly, I haven't yet checked with Samuel French, or Dramatists, or whoever holds the rights.

I've been meaning to follow up on this one.

I've never felt that it was my duty to inform the publishers, but apparently someone in our community has taken that role upon themselves. I was curious to know if others felt compelled to turn in theatres who they thought might be making changes without permission. I think it is presumptuous to assume that the theatres weren't seeking permission.]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2015 07:46:40 +0000 http://www.communitytheater.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5603&PID=29081#29081
