home theatre curtains ideas image
Bianca
I am going into grade 12 and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I was really interested in architecture but I really can't stand math and wasn't like in love with architecture or anything. What I really love doing is decorating. I also decorate for events. I have a great eye for colour and know what looks good with what. If it was something that I really love doing then I could put up with the math. Doing wedding planners make alot of money? Just wondering.
Answer
You can decorate homes and offices as well as events, and you can also work in theatre and film. Every living room, every office, every hospital room, even alleys full of "garbage", almost anything you see on TV or in a movie or in a play has been decorated to some extent by someone. They may add things, they may take things away, but it's rare for any place to be filmed just as it is in real life unless it's a distant shot of a whole street, and of course if a set is created in a studio then everything from cupboard door handles to curtains and furniture is brought in by the set decorating department. The job description is "set decorator", and further up the ladder is "production designer" or "art director". Hard work, and it takes time to get into, but you can make a lot of money once you're established.

Good play for a high school theatre class?
Smirks :0}
any suggestions for a good classic play (I love musicals too, but that's a separate activity). The group is the advanced theatre class and has 14 kids, we are looking for a comedy, preferably not Shakespeare this year, or even a murder myst/ comedy? Thanks for your ideas!!
Answer
I've got a couple of suggestions from shows I've done:
Harvey, by Mary Chase - The one about the 6'2'' invisible white rabbit? It's one of my favorite plays. It's funny and charming and doesn't require an enormous cast. The movie with Jimmy Stewart is a classic and the play is just as good. This is definitely one that you should put on your list.
Don't Drink the Water, by Woody Allen - A nutty comedy about a family of tourists who find themselves trapped in an American embassy in a country behind the iron curtain. It turns out that the camera-happy father has taken a photo of something top secret and so the KGB want to arrest him and his wife and grown daughter. They can't leave the embassy without being arrested and so they are forced to make themselves at home among the kooky staff of the embassy. Unfortunately the Ambassador has left to visit the US and has left his inept son in charge. Add in a tricky priest who tries (and fails) to do magic tricks and has been living in the attic for years; the adviser to the Ambassador who is so stuck up that he "Is the only person in the foreign service who knows the words to the SECOND stanza to the Star-Spangled Banner"; an evil KGB officer; a domineering chef; and a ticking time bomb (It doesn't actually go off). The result is complete chaos. It's an awesome play and your students will love it (again, there's a smaller cast).
Seriously, look at these two plays. They are wonderfully written, funny, and they will give your students opportunities to explore creating characters.
Good luck!
