I want to be an movie/tv actress and lawyer at the same time!
I’ve been wanting to be an actress since I was 3. I can also dance, I’ve loved it since I was 3. I can sort of sing. Drama is my favorite class at school. But I need something else just in case, so I plan to graduate in law and be a lawyer. I am also passionate in law, but it is a recent addition. But keep auditioning for roles. I’ve wanted to be an author or artist since I was young too. I am pretty good at public speaking/speech/acting. I have won awards and many people have said so. I’ve wrote stories and books since I was in 2nd grade. I’m pretty good at art too, it’s one fo my favorite subjects! I won many prizes for both. I get good grades too. What should I do?? I think I should go with this plan, but please help me by giving me advice! #civilrightslawyer #lawyer #law #college #acting #dancing #passion #advice #author #stories #writing #art #drama
How to format your promptbook?
Another stage management question! So, I have recently finished stage managing my first show (Annie Jr.!) and it was awesome, my director/ teacher says I'm a natural. However, I ran into one key issue constantly. I don't know how to format my promptbook. I tried lots of different things but I think my main issues are that I don't know where to write all this information, I don't know how much to write/ how much detail I should include, and I never have enough time to write things down because rehearsal moves so quickly! Please help! #stagemanager #stagemanage #theatre #theater #arts #drama #promptbook #Theatretech #tech

What secondary schools have the best or most acclaimed Technical Theatre Design and Production department
I plan on majoring in that field, I want a school that would grow my education instead of using my education as an excuse for free labor. I have a great standing knowledge on the matter, I want to earn expertise in this field. A school that starts with their student already knowing the basics. #college #college-major #college-selection #majoring-in-theatre #theatre #theater #drama #performing-arts #stage-design #design #art #performance #production #theater-production

How can i become an actress at 24 when i have a degree in engineering?
I've always wanted to become an actress but since I was academically strong, I chose engineering. However my passion hasn't died down but I don't have much experience either. I'm also an Indian female from South Africa and I haven't had the financial means to pursue acting even as a hobby. I wanted to know am I too late to pursue this? And I don't know how to actually start and how to get going with this? I'm also not employed at the moment (graduate jobs for engineering is scarce) so finances are still a strain. I would appreciate any advice and information. Thank you. #psychology #acting #performing-arts #drama
