I don't have that problem at my school. The drama teacher (and director of all the plays, head of the forensics team, and my former English teacher) is incrediblye e-vile (he called me diabolical for turning notes in late), but drama is really supported, and all the performances sell out. I think it's 'cause me school has won the state Forensics competition three years in a row, and that makes my school look really good, so they let him have his way most of the time. (Otherwise, he would have been fired a long time ago, since there have been so many complaints about him.) I'm sorry your school is being so stupid, Mip. What's the point of having a play if nobody's allowed to come and see it?

Maybe it's just schools down here? ^^;; Heh.. my English teacher called me e-vile, and told me I had a dark soul.. I don't know. We'll see how the play goes, I guess... at least I'm in drama with spiffy people, I was going kind o' crazy last year, not being able to take drama...

That.. is an excellent philosophy. ^^ Why eat balanced meals when you can just have cold pizza three times a day?
And Oromin, I'm afraid your school appears to be the happy exception, not the rule. Because.. yeah, I've experienced a lot of looking down on drama, too. I mean, I went to the arts magnet.. I should repeat that.. it needs to be repeated.. ARTS MAGNET for this district.. and.. there was no stage. And no drama department. Yes. At the arts magnet. There was a really, really old, really small, really bad stage which apparently had no wings, and it was in the small gym and eternally covered with extremely dusty ancient music stands. I'm convinced it was only used once a year for school pictures.
*shakes head sadly* Yeah. And that was the school that was supposed to be all about arts and technology. I hate West.
As to the others.. you just don't want to know. Though I'm sure Highland Park was actually okay about drama, because it was just good at everything. I think it kind of follows, in an area that affluent. Pity I didn't actually get to see what their drama program was like.. I was going to take drama in the second semestre, and I didn't get to go to that school for second semestre.
Bah. I'm going to make myself pretty annoyed if I don't stop.
Here. A word for you: hunger. Ponder on that.

Our drama is completely ignored.. I didn't even know there was a drama until someone told me they might do it next year after half the year was done with. The only thing the school advertises at all is football and cheerleading.. its a bunch of crap. *stabs school*
I think it is school's down here.. schools down there didn't hardly do anything about it at all, or atleast the middle schools... but hey, atleast they made an announcement whenever there was a meeting... Our school doesn't even tell us where to sign up at.. Actually, I'm not even sure if there is a drama at all.. I only heard it from a student... If there is, I imagine it doesn't have very many people...

There's a pretty good drama program supposedly at the school I'm going to next year. But... I don't really do drama. You guys can have it. I will be in a play soon, though. I'm going to be the doctor at the psych ward. Yes. Be afraid. Very afraid. -Menelien

Is it One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest? They did that at my school this year.
Drama is supported at my school, but the director/teacher is such a jerk that he's even awful to his "favourites" sometimes. I can't act, but even if I could, there's no way I'd ever be in any of the plays/musicals at my school. It's not like he'd ever cast me anyway, even if I could act.

*nods in agreement* Not that I would be in drama. Can't act at all. But still, it's the principle of the thing, Schools should have good drama progams.

Why don't you guys do extra-curricular drama? It's what everyone here who doesn't like their school drama programs does... wheee... Master and Margarita rehearsals start in a week. ^_______________________^

That'd be nice.
So.. my weekend thus far:
Went to school. Took a math test. Did horribly. Was really out of it.
Got home, got my stuf, left. Went to the county fair to watch friend's band play. Got there four hours early. Expected to go do normal fair-ish things. Got really annoyed by the carnies. Stood in rain listening to band practice. Walked around aimlessly. Got really, really wet. Listened to band. Wasn't bad. Got ushered away halfway through performance. Got back when it was over. Felt really bad about that. Felt terrible the rest of the night. Felt like crying. Didn't.
Next day:
Woke up from nasty dream. Still felt half bad. Watched movie. Ate macaroni and cheese. Went back to fair. Was reminded of awful feelings. Am not sure I can listen to For Whom the Bells Tolls without being reminded of awful feeling anymore. That's not directly related, really... but.. yeah. Call me sensitive? Got home. Have slight headache. Mum wanted me to watch Ella Enchanted. Saw first five minutes. Wanted to cry from the slaughtering. It was such a nice book, too. Got online. Ranted a bit. Am posting this. Yeah.
I also saw a play, but it was awful.. just absolutely awful. No scenery.. just a bunch of terrible singing and boxes. There was no plot, either.

That sounds a bit like my Friday...:
Goes to school-ing-ness. Feels not-so-great on bus. Walking around talking to people before school doesn't help much. First period just makes it all worse. Seriously considers suicide, ponders about how no one would really care.. Bell does its stupid little ping-thing. Walks down the hall with Pip, walks back up the hall to second period. Is hugged. Feels almost happy. Hugs person a second time. Goes to second period happy. Second period teacher is a ^#&@$*! Feels horrible again. Bell does it's annoying little ping-thing again. Is hugged walking to third period by same person... Feels better again. Later at lunch walks around talking to people. Seems to be some sort of conspiracy going on.. probably drug-dealing. Tries to get some info out of people, can't get anything. Gives up and goes to sit against wall. Feels horrible. Gets a bit frustraited with program in Drafting class... Doesn't do much, doesn't do any work... Feels horrible the whole bus ride. Gets annoyed by... people.
