To clarify my "theatrical career" in high school and college, the plays I performed in were never part of the Drama Department's productions. In high school they were done by the Honors English Program and in college by the History Department. They started out as readings, but then developed into off-book performances in an auditorium for the student body. Nobody ever paid to see any of the plays I acted in, although I believe some of them were pretty good, at least that is what I remember being told.
I remember my high school Drama Department doing musicals like The Music Man and the U. of I. Drama Department doing a number of well-known plays. Some of my friends were in those productions but I was never a part of them. I was a much better baseball coach than actor. |
