well i have to have a theatre game ready that hasn’t been played before. and not one of the ones on the first website that comes up when you search on google. and it has to be FUN. So if anyone can help me, that would be super awesome. if anyone has some original ideas, let me know. thanks!

I’m not sure what you’re counting as already existing games, as in many cases a lot of the same have been made up in completely unrelated instances, but here are a couple of my favorites that aren’t too widely known.

"Why Are You Late?" - There’s three people participating at once. Two people are sitting on the stage in chairs facing each other. One is "the boss" and the other is "the employee". The third person will stand in front of the "employee" (behind the boss’s back). The "boss" will prompt with "Why are you late?"
The third person will start to mime out actions, and the "employee" will say whatever the person is miming, or rather whatever they can make from it, to form a story.
The goal is on the spot improv, and trying to make the most ridiculous things sound convincing. The boss cuts in whenever they feel it’s gone on enough, and decides whether or not to fire the employee.

"Family Of Serious" - it’s much like "Honey, I Love You" but has its own air. Everyone stands in a circle, and says "We are the family of serious. We do not laugh, we do not smile."
The group leader will start off by saying "Sister/Brother (name of someone in the circle, eg. John) Please perform for us (an action, eg. the dance of the hukkawukka tribe, or the art of laying an egg)"
John will then have to perform said action around the circle, and anyone who laughs is out. Then John will go back to his spot, and everyone repeats "we are the family of serious. We do not laugh, we do not smile." Then John will say "Sister/Brother (name), please perform for us…" and so forth, until everyone is out. It’s a test of self control in the form of not laughing.

Hope this helped!

I am a college student looking for an internship with a theatre this summer. Location does not really matter. Something inexpensive, or stipends/scholarships available would be nice. Any suggestions, something you have done or know someone who has done it would be best. I am intersted in actng, but the theatre itself is something I really love.

schools.medianewsonline.com - I found such internship info here. It has lots of internships, job openings and scolarships for college students.

It would be an evening show at a nicer theatre, and I was thinking semiformal would be better than full on formal. Could I get away with wearing a nice Turtleneck and slacks, or should I go button-up shirt and tie?

"Button-up shirt and tie" is a far cry from "full-on formal." Not that long ago it was the norm to wear a tuxedo to the theatre — even a business suit would have been considered gauche. Nevertheless, remember that no matter how you dress, there will be people dressed both better and worse than you.

There’s nothing wrong with wearing a turtleneck to the theatre; people do it all the time. I personally wouldn’t do it — I hate ties, but I’d probably at least wear a jacket.

How do you join theatre groups in your university? How long will a preparation for a play be? Can joining the student theatre group be a start of auditioning for theatrical shows? Is it too late to learn theatre at the age of 17? I have joined some dramas in high school though. What are the better student theatre groups in the world? What uni? Thanks!

Not sure about your school.. but where I went.. you joined by showing up. Or.. expressing interest. Yes… joining the groups is great for starting theatre…or learning of the auditions… never too late to learn. Each school and University has pluses and minuses in their theatre department. Read a biography of someone you admire… maybe follow in their footsteps… or create your own. Neither is a bad choice.

I used to have the hookup at a theatre where I could see movies for free, but I moved away. I still like to see lots of movies but in LA its so expensive I can’t afford it. Is there a website I can grab movies from that are high enough quality to enjoy so I don’t have to constantly be going to the theatre? Thanks!

You can watch movies online for free here!!

I’m planning on majoring in theatre arts or theatre education, and I think Boston would be an excellent city to attend college in. I have a few schools in mind, but what would you suggest? If you know any good schools for theatre that aren’t in Boston please list those too.

I’m a good student, with a GPA above 3.5 and some extracurricular activities and community service mostly in the realms of theatre. The college has to be reasonable to get into. Thanks!

Outside Boston, College of the Holy Cross’ Theatre Department is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Theatre.
A HC Alum recently won a Tony Award for Best Direction in a Musical. Alum Peter Jankowski ’86 produces Law & Order as president of Wolf Films. Alum Ann Dowd ’78 has guest-starred in House and Law & Order and appeared in films, such as Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers.

Last November the department of theatre at the College of the Holy Cross was awarded the New England Theatre Conference’s (NETC) Moss Hart Award for best college play in New England, for its 2007 production of My Life with Albertine. This is the second consecutive Moss Hart win for the Holy Cross theatre department.

I have a home theatre in a box, and there’s not HDMI input on it, only output. I have a PS3. I connected it with a HDMI to the HDTV for picture.

Now for sound, should I connect it directly from the PS3 to the home theatre with a Optical cable or connect it from the TV to home theatre with an Optical Cable?

Thanks.
If I connect the Optical Cable from TV to home theatre, will there be a big difference in quality than if I connect it from PS3 directly to home theatre?

Connect optical cable from PS3 to Home Theater System is the best way. You just get stereo sound ( 2 channel ) if you connect optical cable from TV to Home Theater System.

i’m in the musical theatre program at my school, and we are coming toward the end of our current production of Beauty and the Beast.
