I recently received an e-mail asking a question that I’ve heard repeated for as long as I can remember. It’s usually phrased along the lines of; “When life is so complicated and people see enough bad news on television why does TCT do dramas? I mean, I go to the theatre to get away from it all. Besides; don’t the comedies sell better, anyway?” (It’s often phrased differently but the sentiment is the same.) So, why do we do what we do? Read the rest of this entry »

Greetings once again from TCT. Once again I apologize forthe long delay in returning to my blog, but life sure gets busy around here. This time I wish to dedicate my energy to answering a few common asked questions about one of my favorite aspects of my work at TCT; our improvisational comedy company, Laughing Matters.

So welcome to everything you’ve always wanted to know about Laughing Matters but were afraid to ask; (possible due to a fear of infection!) Read the rest of this entry »

As many of you know we are planning on doing Disney’s High School Musical on the Oldfather Stage this summer.  Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about the production. Read the rest of this entry »

Everyone involved at TCTA likes to support other businesses owned by TCTA supporters.  So, if you own a business you want to let everyone know about…this is the place to tell us about it!

I thought I’d take a quick break from the “I Can’t Believe That Happened On-Stage” series to address a question I got after rehearsal the other night.

Greetings once again from TCT. It’s taken me a long time to get back to my blog, but as I re-read my last posting, something I sure everyone does, I thought . . . gee, that’s kinda’ boring. Life at TCT is far more exciting than this and though I want to keep it informative with these blogs I also want to share some of the fun stuff, too.

So I would like to lighten things up with my first of possible many postings of “I Can’t Believe That Happened On Stage” stories. Read the rest of this entry »

A great place to tell someone “Congrats” on their work….on stage or off!

Greetings once again from the corner office. I apologize for my tarniness at returning to this topic. I’ll try not to wait so long between future posts.

I’d like to pick up where my last column left off.

This week’s question is: HOW DO I AUDITION?

Common forms that this question takes are as follows:

How do I prepare for an audition? What’s expected of me? Will it be scary? Will new people get a shot or do only the same old people get cast every time? Do I have to sing a song/ dance a dance/ memorize a scene?

Greetings once again from the corner office.

I had hoped to get a blog in last week but lost track of time. My goal is to write something every week so that visitors to the website have something new to read and to address questions that are people frequently have. This week I will answer common audition questions that new (and seasoned) actors often have. Since this is a pretty broad topic, this week will be the first of several installments on the subject.

This week’s question is: SHOULD I AUDITION?
