I'm currently a student at UW Milwaukee and I'm going to school for Film Studies. On the flip side my ambition for acting has increased the last couple years. I've been in four leads at my hometown college (That I attended my first two years) and I was my director's favorite student.
Now at Milwaukee there is bigger competition, of course. Because I am going for Film Studies, I don't get parts in plays. The theatre professors save those roles for theatre majors. But luckly I'm taking an acting class at UWM on the side, and my professor in that class is getting to knwo me and asked me to be in "Twelfth Night" on campus. The play is nothing compared to the bigger projects on campus, but I don't care, it's a role in a play and my professor likes me.
I've decided to pen my own play. I think it's ridiculous that I can't get a major role because I'm not in the theatre program. So I feel like sticking to the professors. I've seen two plays on campus so far and they don't impress me much with their messages. They probably impress others, fine, but not me. The student body gets funded to do student plays on campus and I'm thinking about penning a scary, intelligent play about the supernatural (Along the lines of "The Turn of the Screw") I also would like to direct it. I'm going to use lighting and music to great effect to help create an eriee atmosphere. For an example, you know that long dragged out beginning in "2001: A Space Odyessy" where it's pitch black with the droning music? Yeah I'm thinking about doing something like that. I want them to feel uneasy. I never felt nervous or scared at a play so I'm hoping to accomplish that.
