DRAMA

I know that poets and poetesses are more likely to love acting (especially drama).

So, is there anyone of you, out there, who has attended drama lessons? acting sessions/classes? or even had a role in a school play, a TV commercial, Hollywood, Bollywood... any acting field?

-
I, last year, joined the drama club and got two roles in the same play: The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I played the Archdeacon and a gay/diva gypsy.

I had lots of fun! We played it for 700 students, for two days in a row. And for the first time in our school, the play was so big and beautiful that some universities and schools demanded our director to play it for their students...

And I really can't wait for this year's new production! :)

HOW ABOUT YOU?
Share it with us.

I dislike acting, although I'd be a funny actress if I want, haha, I'm clumsy and my tongue gets tied most of the times. :P
I used to like being a 'famous' maybe a journalist but not an actress, maybe...a newscaster. I don't know, perhaps, one day! :P

Hahah yes so funny :P lol

Fingers crossed for you :)

I should be the 7th character in 'Friends' I sometimes mimic Rachael, oh how I love this girl. :P

Lol haha I don't waste my time over foreign series (I'm a forever fan of Lebanese Drama)
:p

I was in Speech since 7th grade, and then joined Drama/Theater in high school. (I did a few plays before that, though, as a little kid.) Mostly I was just an extra, which was always fun. I've been a department store elf, a homewrecker, a vampy nun, and Lady Capulet. I wasn't your traditional theater kid, but I always had fun, and it allowed me to let out my inner ham.

Mostly I was just an extra, which was always fun.

^ haha of course it would be fun, eventually :)

Lol haha I don't waste my time over foreign series (I'm a forever fan of Lebanese Drama)
:p

I always watch Lebanese drama, Syrian drama, yet I don't think foreign series are a waste of time... o.O
Instead...they are a way to know other peoples culture, those who live in the second half of Earth.

Hahahahha
Noura,
it's just that I don't like foreign series... so many parts.. episodes... and, ugh.. chitchats :S

I just said they aren't a waste of time. :) And hahaha don't offend me please Lol! 'Friends' always crack me up. :P

Bahahhaa lol :P

okay..
me too .. u like that? :P

Eh. xD :P

2 years in acting in high school
16 years in sales & marketing
23 years in litigation

I've no problem with being on stage; my problem was learning to be real.

To be realll... THE BIGGEST PROBLEM

I have three months in sales and marketing. Haven't lost my soul yet, Larry - did you ever lose yours?!

I just took a closing the sale class (you definitely have to "act" to close the sale, sometimes you JUST DONT CARE, but have to), and there were a few agents in there who totally lost their souls and were the typical 'killers'.

We were taught in that class to fake being charismatic and bubbly if we aren't naturally. Yikes. I'm not a good actress, I'm too tell-it-like-it-is.

Hahahha lol: Tell-it-like-it-is

Marketing students really need to have acting lessons.

I know some people do that for charisma and confidence issues.

Yeah, I loved the stage when I was in school. I was a drama kid. I would compete in Theatresports championships. My highlight was playing Bottom in Midsummer Night's Dream, just like my mother did when she was my age. I still do dance dramas and direct community productions. Ahhh... the limelight.

I'm actually shy.
Kinda.

Lol yeah.. most actresses/actors are in person shy.

Kate Winslet for example.

I can't picture Abby being shy, at all.

Haha lol, I was going to say that!!

Maybe in cyberspace, shy people become so energetic! Like me, also.

^You're shy? Come on, Abed, not on me!

I get drama at school,I've been Juliette,I've been a crazy lawyer a homewrecker,a whore... everything you can think of..its so much fun...now for this semester...its the acting that counts..I'm hoping for a high grade..the theme is "teasing" and we have to perform for the freshman...omg I'm just hope I don't laugh...because I have a friend..and he is going to be a ghetto priest..and it is just tooo damn funny... lmao

^ omg , Yaki ahahhahah :p lol

The funniest thing is to laugh while performing.. but believe me, the audience will laugh with you.. :p

Yes Noura. Yes :p

^Lol, if I act in something, the director will kick me out because I laugh too much, haha!
I don't fear the cameras. o.O :P
I LOVE to be a famous but not here, maybe in Hollywood. I would want to be like Jennifer Aniston, if I could, so funny and charming.

Well, in Syria you have actresses that outdo and outshine Hollywood actresses..!!!
