What are some good things to do for my drama club’s community service?
I need help on finding something for my drama club to do as a community service act. I am president…in case anyone was wondering….and I have looked up so many different things but I cannot seem to find a legit program. HELP ME PLEASE!! I am in desperate need of help!!!! AH!
If you are wondering where the locations should be around, they should be in Orange County. Preferrably in Irvine.
If anyone has any ideas about fundraising as well, could you also share your ideas?

If you see an organization that you would like to help, but don’t see a volunteering opportunity posted by that organization for a group, it’s okay to call them and say you would like to volunteer as a group — they may have opportunities they haven’t posted. Also, many organizations are open to your own suggestions for volunteering activities.
If you want to do something that is representative of your club, many senior homes would welcome short skits and lively monologues.
How do you deal with drama queens in the work place?
I’m so frustrated with my job. There are so many miscommunications and no one wants to discuss things with each other so we’re constantly being dragged into meetings to discuss hurt feelings or unravel gossip. What’s most disappointing is that all of this drama involves women – the men are never involved.
I just want to do my job, but if I’m quiet and keep to myself, then people’s feelings get hurt, because I’m not being social. If I’m social, then I risk being pulled into the middle of ’she said, she said’ and have to sit in meetings and defend myself. I was sick and on cold medicine and someone told my boss that they had a problem because I wasn’t chatty that day – I’m not kidding. This is NUTS!
This is so frustrating and it’s pointless to quit, because a lot of offices have similar atmospheres.
So how do you deal with the drama queens of your office?
By the way, I love my job and I’m good at it, which is another reason why I don’t want to leave. I just need to toughen up and ignore the chatter. Thanks for all the great answers!
OMG. Your coworkers are nuts. I will say this, though, I understand from personal experience. My advice is this, it is better to be thought of as not social, than to be pulled into the middle of their neverending soap opera.
And above all, don’t listen to, participate in, comment on, or overhear accidentally any of the gossip going on. If you accidentally overhear, pretend like you didn’t hear it. Then in the meeting where everyone is trying to unravel the gossip, say, "I don’t know. I haven’t heard anything about it." My experience is that this is the best way. If you have not joined in any conversations or commented on the gossip, no one can prove that you did or did not hear anything.

What is the opposite to the fourth wall in drama?
I know that the fourth wall in drama or in the theatre is the audience, and it is broken when the actors address the audience, but what is the opposite to this? I’m not even sure if there’s a particular word for it, but I need to know for an essay. Please help, thank you!
It’s basically normal acting, but is there a technical word for this?
There isn’t an opposite, unless you mean upstage which is away from the audience. The fourth wall isn’t a location, it is an attitude of acting/writing/staging. If the fourth wall isn’t broken, then the attitude is that the audience is looking into a space where real people are doing something and we are observing them without them knowing. Of course, the space is distorted to be wider than normal on most stages and the actors are directed to not cover each other or upstage another so we can view and hear them at all times. If the fourth wall is broken, then one or more actors acknowledges the audience and talks directly to them. This may be in the form of narration "Grovers Corners is just waking up. The milkman is coming down the street …" Our Town or exposition "Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, .. " Romeo and Juliet or simply in asides "Aren’t I a rascal?" Some play some where.
How long does it talk to film a typical drama?
How many weeks would it take to film a typical drama? Not including the pre- and post-production. Just the principle photography.
Seven to ten days is usual for shooting a one hour drama for TV.
The major motion pictures are more dependent upon how many location scenes are blocked into the shooting schedule. Weather, remoteness of the location(s) and uncontrollable situations play important parts in shooting time. Studio shots are easier to shoot (you have 24 hour sun if you need it)

How to do good at an audition for a drama?
I have to do a cold reading for an audition for the drama.
Any tips/advice?
If you know the piece they will be doing study it or the author of the piece, if you can. Even a brief overview can help you understand the direction of the piece. You could dress to fit the part/s.
also if you know the director you can research that person.
On the other hand you could try to look like a blank canvas with neutral clothes and especially neutral/natural hair.
Above all else, being on stage is about good public speaking skills.
E nun ci ate. Make the director think that you could connect with the audience.
Read your line then look up and deliver it. Always, always, read then deliver. A sentence at a time if you have to. Practice with the newspaper, or internet, or just anything you can read. Read a line, look up, deliver line.
If I don’t take drama in high school, can I still attend a film school? Any tips about getting into NYU?
I’m currently taking the IB diploma with two sciences. I did not select drama as one of my courses, and I am seriously considering going to NYU mostly for the film program. Seeing as I have no credentials in theatre, will I still be able to attend film school? I am also taking english higher in an attempt to add more to the non-science courses. Also, any tips about getting into NYU?
I am planning to go into directing/screenwriting. Not acting.
Try doing extra-curricular film-related work. Almost any aspect of drama/theatre/film will help you to get in. The problem is that most people you will be up against for admittance will have already spent 2-4 years involved in film/theatre to some degree. Most will have a portfolio that they will submit or at least a theatre/film resume. You need to be able to compete with these candidates for a spot – and it is very competitive.
Now, when you say film, are you talking technical/directing or acting? If you are going for the tech side, see if you can work behind the scenes at a local theatre. There are many community theatres around that have students working and/or acting in them. Also, if you have a local tv station in your area, see if they accept high school interns; some will only handle college interns, but it is worth a shot. If you are interested in the acting side, look into theatre workshops in your area; local libraries or community centers have stuff of the sort (usually free or very low priced – don’t go to something that charges you an arm and a leg – those are scams). You can also audition for school plays and musicals. Also try auditioning for community theatre or any open casting calls.
If you are only interested in the tech side, I still encourage you to dabble in a bit of acting; it will actually improve your tech abilities. Many film majors (future directors and screen play writers) take acting courses so that they can see the actors perspective and will therefore be able to do their job better. The same can be said for actors – it’s is great when they do the behind the scenes and tech work to see it from a different perspective. It makes each person appreciate the other so much more and work together more harmoniously (from personal experience). Also, by doing a bit of both it will show a general interest in different aspect of the film/theatre industry.
