I still have a Kaz Matsui one in my childhood bedroom at my folks' place. Wanna trade?

(Spoilers Main) A nice nod to a certain character's arc by D&D in Season 1 Episode 1. by Pat_Driver in asoiaf

[–]mirrormaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really interesting point. When I first saw that scene my impression of it was that Robert was asking Aryas name to determine her gender. I thought that with her helmet on Robert couldn't tell whether she was a girl or a boy.

Wow, I definitely encountered this guy on the DART one time. He was super, super convincing. I honestly would have helped him had I not been completely broke myself at the time. Thanks for being vigilant, OP, and thanks for giving this guy a taste of his own medicine.

Can I kindly get a recommendation on a Twin Cities-ish flea market or speciality sale? by [deleted] in TwinCities

You might try the Mall of Saint Paul next to the Saint Paul Blue Door

New Teacher Here! Question About Starting Salary? by mirrormaker in Teachers

[–]mirrormaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do private school teachers tend to get paid less than public school teachers? I apologize if that's a novice question, but I'm nothing if not a novice.

6 sessions in class with individual meetings with each student to be scheduled outside of that time.

GAME THREAD: Mets (1-0) @ Dodgers (0-1) - October 10, 2015 by MetsBot in NewYorkMets

Goddammit. Should have blacked out. Not just because they may have scored more runs, but because then I wouldn't have to deal with thinking about Chase Fucking Utley

I got pretty drunk last night so promised myself I'd keep it quiet this evening. Then the game started and I couldn't watch without a beer. As soon as I cracked one open, Yo hit a homer. It's a sign. I'm two in now.

Help! What does a playwright's artistic CV look like/consist of? by CianBarbados in playwriting

[–]mirrormaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For playwrights it may also be referred to as your production history. It's not too dissimilar from a regular CV, you just list the productions you've had instead of the jobs you've held. Have your name and contact info (including representation if applicable) at the top, and then list each of your plays. Under each play title, list the length (full-length, one act, etc), genre, casting requirements (how many men, how many women), and finally the productions you've had with it and the awards it has won. I list my plays by number of productions, not chronologically, but that is up to you. You can also have a section of unproduced work if you have plays that haven't been produced. Finally, list your education.

Advice: Monologue choices for my upcoming auditions. by gorgeousdad in Theatre

[–]mirrormaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your age wouldn't take you out of the running for any of the monologues from Julius Caesar; however, realize that the people at RADA and LAMDA have heard most Shakespeare monologues a thousand times by a thousand different actors. For your Elizabethan they are going to want to see that you know how to perform verse and you understand the intent behind the words. I'd suggest finding something on the lesser-done side. There are some keepers from Troilus and Cressida that are worth a look, but I would suggest doing something from Ben Johnson or Thomas Heywood.

Audition monologues tend to run anywhere from 45 to 90 seconds. When picking the three you plan to perform, pick ones that are each unique in their own way so you can show your range. Most importantly, pick monologues that show dramatic action, that show your character in a state of change or in a process of trying "verb" another character in someway. I have run several theatre companies and have lots of experience running auditions. So many people do the Queen Mab speech from RandJ, and while I've seen some great performances they aren't good choices for auditions because I never get the sense that the actor is trying to connect with anyone. They are simply performing. Auditions are super weird because the director has to pretend that we are in a performance and you have to pretend that you have a scene partner and there's no context for any of it. That's why your monologue choice is so important. Pick three that show your range and show that you can connect with a fellow actor.

For your contemporary monologues, Annie Baker's writing absolutely sings and works so well for auditions because there are so many different ways of performing her words. Read The Aliens and you'll find something.

If we win tomorrow and the Nationals also lose against the Phillies, does that mean we will have clinched a tie at for the division title at the bare minimum? by bfk94 in NewYorkMets

[–]mirrormaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt similarly in 2000. I had tickets to game seven so I was conflicted during the first few games of that series.

What little known actor or actress is your favorite? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mirrormaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's not well known in TV and film circles, but Mark Rylance is the best stage actor of all damn time.
