Responsibility and Teaching!

The right acting teacher can unlock your potential!  When you stumble upon a proper studio, with responsible instructors that teach true acting techniques, your potential can exceed your expectations! 

There are many theatre companies out there that are more concentrated on the end result!  Instead, the emphasis should be on the journey; when you focus on how you get to where you need to be, then the end result will organically unfold in a positive direction.  The product will be amazing! 

If you are at an acting studio taking classes, they should be teaching you about characters goals, obstacles and the tactics one does in order to gain what the character desires.  Basics, like monologue & scene work should be picked apart textually as well as intelligently.  Acting is a craft.  It takes intellect, strength and compassion.

A teacher should teach you to love your craft more than yourself.  Tis the responsibility of teaching artistry!

THEATRE COSTS for LSOH


Many people asked where the money goes for a production...The reason why tickets cost so much...

Theatre is expensive! The arts should be valued. Support the arts, by going to a show, donating a costume to your local theatre company, tweet your thoughts on a performance or even post a link to your local theatre company on facebook....

Here is a little info on LSOH - Payed out for this FREE Performance. And LAFA is a very humble theatre company...imagine a Broadway show...we are talking millions!
...
Basic Breakdown

Props $1600
Costumes $1500
Sets $800
Theatre Rentals/Rent/Insurance/Copyrights $15000
Programs/Tixs $200
Choreography $950

***note Director, Vocals Coach & Stage Manage donated their time...they never got payed -- which they should have! Transportation, social media, emails, website...and many hours organized are also not valued with a price tag.

Total Payed: $20,500

10 x 250 = $2500 Advertisements
37 x 113 = $4100 Script Fees
Raised from Fundraising $9000

Total Raised: $15,600

***note that is over $6000 lost

The way a student feels on the stage, the moment the applause roars, the moment a child feels like they accomplished something significant...is PRICELESS!
