A Challenge

My teacher this morning in class said that everything is a melodrama unless it is a comedy, no exceptions. I would now like to take it upon myself to write a tragedy. Being as I am a naturally humerous person, this should prove difficult, but I am competitive by nature, and will relish this opportunity. That is all.

New News

So, I totally fail at blogging.
With that said, I'm not putting in an update for what's been going on.
* I graduate in December, so I have major senioritis right now
* I have decided to study photography at SCAD in Savannah GA after graduating.
* I still plan to write my plays, and hopefully have them published or performed while in school for photography, I just want to have experience and knowledge in both areas since I love them both, and would like them both to be a major part of my life. (I may even start a blog for my pix!)
* I am in the process of finishing a few of the plays I've started already, and will therefore be needing lots of feed back. (I will still be applying to grad school for playwriting incase this photography/art school thing doesn't pan out...)
* I have a midterm to study for now that's in 3 hours, so this is all for now, hopefuly I'll be back on later and have some more stuff to put up!

It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've posted anything. So, I'm posting something! It's been sort of crazy these past couple weeks. I've been rolling over some more ideas in my head and just need to spit them out on here. (Sorry)
 I found a college that has a Ph. D program in Youth Theatre! I thought that was really cool, so I may one day be a doctor! Dr. Ange. OK, that sounds sort of funny. But I may just go by Dr. Tats...for all my tattoos, bring attention to my oddness.
I also have a few new ideas for some new plays. I'm toying with the idea of doing something on sexual health. (You ALL know that teens in high school either are or are thinking about having sex.) This is a very important issue that can sometimes be hard for teens to take from adults who "have no idea what they're going through." So, I think it would make a great topic for a YA play. It would be easier to convey that sort of thing through theatre and kids their same age.
I've also been writing some shorts based on improve lines given during one of my classes. I plan on typing these up and e-mailing them to a theare group here on campus and having them hopefully performed on campus. In addition to those i'm also sending in my 10 min. play and possibly the 1 Act I wrote last year that is just too long to put up on here!
I also have a commissioned work that I've been asked by a friend to do, I'm still trying to figure out how this one is going to work, but it's for his book, and he has asked me to write a skit out of it to use as a type of advertisement.  
I believe that is all for now, and I will keep you all posted as to when and where performances may be! Thanks for reading!
