Scene Study

I'm in a class called Musical Theatre Scene Study. What this class basically entails is selecting four different scenes from four different genres of musical theatre and then presenting them to the class by acting them out. All scenes must have dialogue and song, and one scene has to have a dance break number. For all the scenes, we are required to do both a text analysis and a character analysis of the dialouge from the show. We just finished our first round of scenes on Wednesday, so this Friday, we have to pick new scenes. The reason why I am blogging about this particular class is because it makes me realize how much I love my major. Its a chance to cast yourself into scenes and pretend to be a working actor, working on roles that you could potentially play in the real world. Everyday, WSU makes me realize that I am a part of the performing business. And I am glad that they are making me realize that.
