Graduate

Florida State University
MFA
Florida State University/Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training is a three-year graduate program culminating in a Master of Fine Arts degree through the Florida State University School of Theatre.

Requirements and admissions
Annually, the Conservatory auditions over 1,000 actors in four locations nationwide from which a maximum of 12 students are chosen.

The Asolo Repertory Theatre and Florida State University together fund the second year students study in London. Every student graduates with Equity eligibility, through work with the Asolo Repertory Theatre, as understudies in their first year, and as associate members of the acting company in their third year.

University of Florida
MFA
Admission to the Master of Fine Arts Theatre degree program is based on artistry and scholarship.

Requirements and admissions
Placement in the program will be determined through audition/portfolio review, academic credentials, diagnostic testing, and personal interview. Candidates for admission should have adequate training in theatre. Deficiencies may be corrected before beginning graduate study.

Actors and designers normally submit an application after a conditional offer of admission has been extended or upon request by the design or acting area faculty. Although there is not an official application deadline, admission decisions for the fall semesters are generally made between February and April.

The University of Florida's School of Theatre and Dance has an international faculty of 21 full-time and 11 guest or adjunct professors , who are recognized artists and researchers in their own right, and a staff of 10, including full time and part-time professionals.

California Institute of the arts

MFA
The three-year MFA Acting Program is designed for advanced student actors who are adventuresome, imaginative, and highly motivated. The admissions process is very competitive. The program’s curriculum focuses on all facets of each actor’s art and technique. It also strives to question commonly held assumptions about theater while exploring new possibilities.
This program accepts students only at the BFA1 (first-year undergraduate) and MFA1 (first-year graduate) levels. Acting student selections are based on the live audition only. Applicants are not required to submit a portfolio. Received acting portfolios will not be viewed or returned. The following is required for the live audition:
• Applicants must present two monologues (no longer than two minutes each) of contrasting nature. Choose one from Shakespeare. Faculty, however, may choose to see only one of the two. You should also prepare a third monologue to present at the faculty’s request.
• Applicants must bring a résumé and a recent photograph, preferably a headshot, to the audition.

Completion of an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited institution is required for admission to the MFA and MA degree programs at CalArts.

CalArts is committed to providing a well-rounded education for students. Through our Curating Your Own Life: Transitioning to a Career after CalArts program, students are exposed to a range of careers in the arts; opportunities to participate in career-related courses and internships; consultations with guest artists to gain familiarity with entrepreneurial approaches to their own work; and a Third Year Experience featuring career mentoring for all students.

Unconventional theatre

Unconventional Theatre

1. The Sugary House.

producer: Steinar Thorsen

premiered November 30, 2006

Actors: Siri A. Kristensen, Julie G. Howden, Andreas Holt, Camilla Svingen, Mauricio Taipe, Frøydis Flotve.

Script: Viktorija Rudytė, Steinar Thorsen

Posted picture caption. "Modern Puppet Theatre performance about youth and the drug addicts."

http://www.upt-forma.org/?show=1&ln=en

What makes this production unconventional is the use of the puppets, or masks. They are in my opinion really scary and i would not believe that this would be used to show children I do however like how they have used something out of the ordinary to show kids something. it is a way to keep their attention. a way to make them go home and talk about what they just witnessed.


2. Jollyship the Whiz bang

Producers: playwright Nick Jones and composer Raja Azar.

Played through summer 2008

Actors: Keith Fredrickson on lead guitar, Dan Kutcher on bass, Nick Jones on lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and puppets, Mr. Skeevy on keyboards, accordion, and puppets, Jesse Wallace on drums, Julie Lake and Steven Boyer on backing vocals and lead puppets, and Kris Anton doing video design and giving technical support.

Posted picture caption: The lead puppets with a guitarist.

http://www.thewhizbang.org/about.html


This is very unconventional to me because of the use of puppets as cast members. Unlike the last production where the actors were the puppets. These shows are not really serious, they are made more for the laugh, but come across well with the audience. The show also follows a storyline so it has 10 series, or mini shows that tell the story. where usually you would watch one full production of a show.

3. A nervous Smile. Theatre by the Blind


directed by Ike Schambelan

plays April 17th thru may 17th 2009

Cast: All Blind; GEORGE ASHIOTIS, MELANIE BOLAND, PAMELA SABAUGH,NICHOLAS VISELLI

Posted picture from a different production titled the middle ages. put on by this theatre company. "Marilee Talkington and George Ashiotis"

http://www.tbtb.org/archives.htm

This theatre company is very interesting to me. being that all of the actors are blind it intrigues me to know how rehearsals must go. I would definately be one to appreciate a show more when i found out that people that cannnot even see are putting these shows on. people that can see already have enough problems. I think it shows courage to do something like this. And this i would think that maybe people could be a little uncomfortable at first. but would soon realize the talent.

4. Thang long Water puppet theatre

directed by Nguyen Hoang Tuan

plays 165 performances

posted picture caption. The pupeteers.

http://www.thanglongwaterpuppet.org/homepage.asp

This is unconventional to me because not only are they using puppets but they are in water. Water puppetry goes back a long way but i had never seen it beofre now. I would really like to see how difficult it is to maneuver the puppets through the water. this takes much dedication and skill.

5. Quartet. Agelink Theatre

by Ronald Harwood

actors: Starring Rosemary Barr, Edgar Metcalfe, Matthew O'Sullivan and Jenny McNae.

played in 2005

Posted photo caption. The starts of Quartet.

http://www.agelink.com.au/gallery.htm

This is probably my favorite of the unconventional theatres. this is because in this theatre company the shows are performed by the elderly. It seems like this day and age we forget about older folks out there, we forget aboutt their passion and drive. This theatre lets them continue their legacies. It is unconventional because it does not cast the usual way most of the actors are over 50.

Too hot to Handle

1. NYC Today

The Bus Stop

What: 1983 comedy by Gao Xingjian
Where: Theatre HAN
Who: Joe Alberta Lima, Ray Chao, Hank H. Kim.
When: April 1, 2009

This show was controverisal because it is real. It talks about real issues in life that some people would just rather ignore. People would love to just live in a simple place where bad things do not happen, but the reality is that, this just isnt so. This play lays it all out. and sadly some people just arent ready for that.

2. Naked Broadway

Equus

What: Tony award winning play by Peter Shaffer
Where: Broadhurst theatre
Who: Daniel Radcliffe, Kate Mulgrew, Anna Camp
When: December - february 2009

I think this play was controversial because of the nudity involved, but moreover because people just werent ready to see "Harry Potter" in another role. Not just any role but one so grown up. The play has a lot of adult themes, and could make a lot of people uncomfortable.

3. Gay Broadway

what: The full Monty
Where:Eugene O'neill Theatre
Who: John Ellison Conlee, Nicholas Cutro, Jason Danieley, Lisa Datz
When: oct 26, 2000- 2002
This show was too hot to handle because of the character that did end of being homosexual. People you would feel are more open to homosexuality but proved that they weren't when issues came about.

4. Racist Broadway

What: Uncle Tom's Cabin

Where: Alvin Theatre

Who: Fay Bainter, Thomas Chalmers
When: 1933

Uncle Toms cabin was controversial because it was written when everything about slavery was real and going on. It is all true. It is what white people did not want to see because they didnt want to own up to what was going on, and its also what black people did not want to see because it made it that much more real. It only had 24 performances but that was still enough to change some hearts and show some truth.

5. Raided or closed

What: Naked Boys Singing
Where: Milwaukee Gay rights center
Who: ACLU
When: 2005

Naked boys singing was controversial, because point blank people were not ready for this show. It was said that the show was raided because they did not have a permit but it was obvious that the show was about homosexuals and people did not like that. Which is why the lawsuit came about.

6. Arrested

What: Final Push
Where: Zimbabwe
Who:James Jemwa, actors Sylvanos Mudzvova and Anthony Tongani
When: September 23, 2007

“The arrests are a travesty of justice and an affront to freedom of expression. Our space for public debate and free expression is shrinking daily,”

http://www.kubatana.net/html/archive/media/071004misaz.asp?sector=artcul&year=2007&range_start=1

This show was controversial because it depicted something that was not a plesant subject to be discussed. the seven year socio-economic political crisis that the country went through. The actors and a camera man were arrested during the perfomance. It just proves that when you want freedom of speech at times they will take your freedom to keep you quiet.

7.

8

9. College/University

What: Spinning Into Butter
Where: Layola's Marquette Theatre
Who: Loyola's Department of theatre and Dance
When: Nov. 7-9 2008

"This is a dangerous, searching, brilliant play, probing the self-inflicted wounds of a self-righteous civilization."

http://blog.nola.com/arts/2008/11/loyola_theater_tackles_one_of.html

This show had been called one of the most controversial shows ever written. It deals with racial issues that some believe lie dormant in everyone. Some people did not want it shown because they didnt want black people to feel bad. But really i feel that some white people felt bad too. Of course the show went on to play.

10. Highschool

What: Rent

Where: Corona Del Mar High School

Who: high school students

When: february 19, 2009

"I'm just kind of surprised, to be honest with you, that there was any controversy."

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-gay-play18-2009feb18,0,438002.story

I feel that this play was pulled from going into production because of one reason and one reason only. Gay subject matter. The principle was not comfortable with the content of the show. So she canned it, without considering the lives the show could have changed. Many productions of Rent in Highschool have been cancelled, or banned in the last year and its passed time that something be done about it.

Project 2 Option 2 Angels in America

Project 2 Option 2

Angels in America

1. pre- 1993 San Fransisco

Angels in America is a landmark not just among AIDS plays or gay dramas but in American theater -- partly because Kushner has the audacity to equate gay concerns with the fate of this country. And although it's only his third produced play (following The Illusion and A Bright Room Called Day), Angels in America establishes the 34-year-old Kushner as the most important American playwright to emerge since David Mamet --

http://www.donshewey.com/theater_reviews/angels_in_america.html

• This critic believes that this play is very important to societyin the days of the aids epidemic. He goes on to tell about the highs of the play through its entirety. He thinks very highly of Kushner making sure to pint out his age, and comment on his other works.

2. Original Broadway Review (since 1993)

"Angels in America" speaks so powerfully because something far larger and more urgent than the future of the theater is at stake. It really is history that Mr. Kushner intends to crack open. He sends his haunting messenger, a spindly, abandoned gay man with a heroic spirit and a ravaged body, deep into the audience's heart to ask just who we are and just what, as the plague continues and the millennium approaches, we intend this country to become.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE2DC1431F936A35756C0A965958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=2

• The critic from this review believes that this script is extremely powerful. He believes that this play definately causes the audience to think. He thinks that the message is haunting, but in a good way. The play makes the audience see things in a new light, they take something very important from the words.

3. Non NYC since 1993

Trying to describe this two-part, two-evening work brings to mind the fable of the blind men and the elephant -- each one finds something different. "Angels" is love story, diatribe on politics, plea for understanding of religious and sexual differences, exploration of race relations, paean to immigrant ancestors, and global overview of life's meaning. Frank language and explicit content are balanced with beautifully crafted poetry and touching emotional revelations. Kushner also finds an astonishing amount of humor in these serious realms.

http://www.theatreinthepark.com/2007-08_productions/angels.html

• This critic enjoys the fact that Kushner finds humor in all of the seriousness. He speaks on the high points and low points of the production. and credits the actors for their performances, believing that they did well in bringing the characters to life.

4. University Review (anytime)

The most disappointing part of the production is the opening....but because Davis has caught her cast, and us, such a beauty of a play, minor perplexities don't matter.

http://theatre.fortlewis.edu/news/anglesI_2005_herald.asp

• This critic likes the play but has a few probems here and there. They do not fancy the beginning but the rest of the play is really good to them . They really enjoy the casting becasue they make sure to talk in length about each character. They advise everyone to see the play. They speak highly of all aspects of the production.

5. HBO mini series (2003 film version)

Angels is many things at once: a drama about loneliness and family, biological and chosen; a story that shines light on all the dark places in the human heart; an offbeat comedy; a story about sexual/racial/religious/ethnic/political identity; one about life in the Reagan era; about friendship, cowardice, and guilt; a story about living with—and dying from—AIDS. Not just from HIV, but also from the ripples of heartbreak it sends out. The whole thing is a smorgasbord for dramaturges and analytical minds. What's remarkable, though, is that even if you managed to remain ignorant of all of the above interpretations, the story itself, taken at face value, is riveting.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/angels_in_america/

• You can tell by reading tht this critic thinks very highly of this film. She praises the directors for what she believes was a great job, taking this beautiful production into a made for TV movie. She believes that all of the emotion was there. And that they kept all of the most important elements of the story in the plot while remaining in a time slot.
