David Edwards is a stage and film acting veteran from Las Cruces, New Mexico. He has performed in countless stage performances and several onscreen acting jobs during the last four decades. Mr. Edwards employs both practical and magic rituals to the preparations for his stage performances, and he keeps a good luck charm on his person. His rituals are less extreme than many other stage performers who are extremely observant of superstitions and adamant about preshow rituals. Anthropologists would take note of the greater ritual associated with stage acting than with film acting, as performers feel a lesser need for luck in the mistakes- forgiving world of film. This parallels the dichotomy between hitters and fielders in baseball.

Jukebox musicals began in film and later shifted to theatre. They had begun to make theatre more popular with the public, which had begun to gravitate towards film and music. By combining the two, they gain some of the same as well as a whole new audience. I will discuss how this came to be by speaking of the shift that occurred.

Theatre is a collaboration of various forms of fine art which utilizes live performances presenting before the audience on a stage at a specific place within a scheduled time (Dugdale 10). The message is communicated through a combination of various channels like songs, speech gestures or dances. Stagecraft skills are combined with elements of art to make the performance more physical and near to real life experience. Theatre is categorized broadly into drama, musical theatre, comedy, tragedy and improvisation. Any form of these accepts integration of various production modes and collective reception to influence the artwork being presented. As a result of this cooperation of items in the theatre

Throughout every individual life, a time for coming of age must always occur. The coming of age is a difficult process, normally going unnoticed. Although it is rather unwanted or avoided, the process happens all the same for every person. For some, the process is gradual. For others, they are thrown into adulthood and are forced to leave behind the joyous memories of being a child. In the three works by Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elizabeth Bishop, and Terrence Malick, children explore the various paths of growing up and in a way, are tossed into the lives of adults. In Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem “Childhood is the Kingdom Where Nobody Dies,” painful descriptions of being pitched into adulthood are continued throughout the work. In Elizabeth

Lee is responsible for training and helping many of the finest actors and actresses in this country alone. Yet lee also is  criticise for his rigid methods have ruined an entire generation of performers. Strasberg  and Harold Clurman were the co founders of the well known  Group theatre in 1931 which was hailed as “America’s first true theatrical collective”. In 1951 Lee Strasberg  became director of the non-profit Actors Studio, In New York City, which it well know to be the “ nation's most prestigious acting school”. Soon later he found the Lee Strasberg theatre and Film Institute in New York and in Hollywood to teach the work he pioneered. With all of his accomplishments  he was named “Chief” of the Method Acting” in the theatre world.

Acting on stage with the lights, props, and sets is all surreal. But with that being said acting is much more intricate than to just memorize lines and go on stage and recite them with simple blocking. To combine people and ideas, adding natural movements and gestures, to take the playwright's' words and turn them into your own is the beautiful art form of theatre and acting. To be able to become another person, to feel what they feel, to live their life, is very magical and astounding to me. While acting I lose myself, I am solely whoever I am portraying and I take all matters

Above all, I wouldn’t be where I am today without theatre. Without the chance to perform throughout my life, I would be disconnected from the wide array of communities and histories that’s been imbedded in my daily routine. Unfortunately, it’s speculated that the theatre is a dying art form, because of the expanding popularities of movies (“Is”), but I think that it’ll remain a well renowned part of expressing imagination and interpreting history as years pass; it only takes cooperation with school faculty and young students that go above and beyond to change their

A director will decide where and when actors move -- a term known as "blocking"-- to ensure the proper dramatic effect and to work with the lighting design of the scene. Where the actors are moved in one scene will usually correspond with how they will be placed in the next scene, unless there is a stage clearing in between scenes. The director becomes the "eye of the audience" during rehearsals. He makes sure that an important character is not being hidden behind another actor and ensures the audience can hear everything. There are a few tricks a director can make to emphasize certain moments and characters during a play. If a character is sectioned off from a crowd or standing on a prop higher than the rest of the cast the spectators

“Acting is behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances” said by Stanford Meisner. Theatre is an area of arts where you can be free from reality and imagine the impossible. Some of my favorite things about theatre are, the people that are involved, how helpful theatre is and how helpful everyone is, then my last thing is how much fun we have. One of my top favorite things about theatre is the people that are involved within it. Every person has a different personalities, that put together makes a new and neat experience. Theatre is an important part of my life and I enjoy every minute, while I’m there.

Theatre has evolved over the many years. As it has grown, it moved to include more diverse performers, crew, producers, and audiences. This is an exploration of the expansion of diverse theatre.

Movie acting is different than stage acting because they have to be prepared to cut scenes out and from couple different angles and voice directly into the camera. The actors only learn the lines from the scene they are doing at the time instead of knowing them all. It is also not shot in the order it is seen in because they don’t want to be going back and forth from location to location, so they shoot all the scenes that is needed at a certain location. They also have to take more than one shot per scene because maybe they want different angles or someone may have messed up. A perfect example of movie vs. stage acting is the scene where Stanley yells out STELLA! Because he harmed her so she left with Eunice and he goes after her to apologize but has to get her attention by screaming her name out until she came out to talk to him. This scene must have been much easier for the film because the director and actors don’t have to worry about messing up they can just retake a scene and they can adjust it to their desire. While stage acting the actors have to deal with an audience watching their every move and if they mess up they don’t have another chance. Maybe the actor didn’t project their voice enough for everyone to hear them. They also might lose their voice from the very intense screaming. As well as forgetting a line on stage and embarrassing

“I really started dreaming... and broke out of my shyness when I got to Howard University. My first acting class was an Intro to Acting class with Professor Bay, who really broke me out of my shell, encouraged me to follow my dreams and make them a reality” (Gross). I’m going to talk about how to open the door of show business into Hollywood and show you how to potentially reach success. Many talented actors don’t succeed in show business because they forget the first rule: show business is a business. So what I’m going to tell you here briefly covers the business details behind the world of film, television, and theatre. In order to better understand your role in the larger scheme of show business, you need to understand the wants and needs of the wealthiest people in the industry. The business of acting is simple. You help others make money, and they’ll help you make money. But first, you need to figure out how show business really works.

The strengths and weaknesses of a committed actor can be paradoxical. For this area I chose to consult with an acting colleague of 17 years. I thought it was necessary to have an objective perspective to honestly describe what has been observed from someone that knows me, personally. The following paragraph from a close friend and veteran actor explains this quandary in her description of me.

Also, when it comes to live action scenes and blocking them out it is much easier for the director and camera person to capture on film. The director can give the actor an action to do and he or she does it on demand. Where as in animation each angle must be drawn

One of which is the type of performance. Theater is known for performances that are unedited and raw, therefore actors have to rehearse the script frequent numbers of times in order to avoid bloopers. During play the most focus is on actors and acting, rather than visuals; the stage cannot be edited or enhanced. In stage acting, actors have to deal with a lot of stress they have to be stage ready no matter what. Actors have to have oratory skill as well since they have to perform in front of the crowd. However, when it comes to creating movies actors are allowed to have bloopers, since it is possible to edit it out. Actors do not have to rehearse the script as many as theater actors do. Actors of film are performing in front of the camera, not the live audience. Filmmaking is focused a lot on the visually in order to make it look more attention-capturing. Movies are enhanced visually and can have special
