progPerhaps you've overheard my recent mumbling about wanting to get involved with drama. The stage-and-screen kind, yes, not the day-to-day kind. I guess I just need another outlet for my ego, and I've always been interested in performing, even though it's not something I've formally participated in since high school. (Bye-Bye Birdie, and I had the, uhh, the Dick van Dyke character aced, but then lost it when I had to leave the state for a couple of months due to parental fiat, and had to settle for a choral role instead. Grunt.)
I've recently realized that I do, in fact, know many people involved in this sort of thing, and the people are y'all, or a subsection thereof, anyway. Soooo. I... really don't know the first thing about getting involved in stage productions (and the like) in this, the scary world of grown-ups. If any of you would like to help let your pal jmac vex and besquirm local audiences, I would welcome whatever advice or opportunity-pointers you may have, even if it's only "Here, read this FAQ." (Or, for that matter, "My advice? Don't.") Thanks!

Date: 2003-07-24 12:36 pm (UTC)If you're looking to perform, keep an eye out for audition notices (Theatre 411 is a good place to look, say).
If you're looking to do technical work--well, the same is true; also, I'm currently in a show that could very much use some technical help, even if it's just another pair of hands to help build and move things in. If you're interested in helping out, I can send you the email addresses of the people to contact, or I can let you know when and where Sunday we're meeting...
