OSheaman posted:I don't know the answer to this as I haven't really done much research into grad schools, but if I had to guess I'd say your best bet might be with Columbia College. They have a bunch of incredibly diverse MFA programs and I think you probably have a better bet there than a more traditional program somewhere else. Sadly, though, Columbia's theater department doesn't have a grad program at all. Northwestern and DePaul are two good theater programs in Chicago, though I'm afraid I don't know much about them.

In The Bushes posted:Hey Chicago-types, I'm in a weird situation where I am producing a play with a fairly decent budget, but can't lock down a director. They either run off to Europe, or overbook, or whatever, so I'm turning to you (because Craigslist leads to sifting through terrible resumes). Are any of you half decent directors? Do you know any looking for paid work? I have a director friend who lives in Chicago that I could contact. I'm guessing he'll want to know when he's supposed to start/when performances start, and what company this is for. Charles Dickings fucked around with this message at 17:15 on May 3, 2012 |

Pious Pete posted:Also, does anyone want some broadway/off-broadway scripts? I've got a friend who forwards me the pdfs he gets for each audition. Right now I have copies saved of Regrets which just finished off-broadway and The Lyons which I guess just won a Tony? Either way, I can email em to whoever would wants to read. Both are real good. That sounds awesome! Looks like I picked a good time to end my forums hiatus. nagol0607 at gmail

Hey, people who are still following this thread! I wrote (and posted) a short play, and I was especially hoping to get some feedback from people from this thread who might be able to give me some insight into any problems there might be in performing it. While I love theater, I haven't lived in a country where plays were performed in a language I understand in three years, so my grasp of theatrical realities might be tenuous. The post is here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3689955 I couldn't recall anyone posting a play in here for criticism before, so I decided to avoid it. I probably should have just posted it in here, anyway. Anyway, I'd greatly appreciate any comments you guys might have!

The reason I don't really want to make it longer is I rather like the idea of it being a tense physical confrontation, and I want that to be the focus. Something close to it is.... oh, gently caress, I can't remember the name now, but it's a 10 minute play where the husband comes home, and the wife wants him to admit to something but won't say what, meanwhile their kid is sitting at a computer, slowly counting down minutes aloud and typing. You spend the entire play knowing this guy did something (but you don't know what), and wondering what climax-inducing thing the kid is doing on the computer. You're thrown into that at the beginning of the play and it's tense all the way through to the end. (If anyone happens to recognize that play by my description, I'd love to know what it's called) So, I'm getting that the play I thought I wrote is vastly different than the one I did. I added the thing I wrote in the preface to the play about Mike grabbing for the plane throughout the conversation as Sady tries to maneuver around him into my copy of the play after I posted, but I didn't edit the post, and is probably not enough anyway. I definitely need to change how neither character even seems to change in any way. That was a ridiculous oversight.
