The Stage is Calling You Back

Even with plenty of summer left to go, Back to School Sales are beginning. Returning students need new notebooks, pens, pencils, books and clothes. There are students who don't think about returning to school especially in the middle of summer fun. To the Theater Student who hears the Stage calling them back like a long lost friend, going back to school keeps them looking ahead.

Just thinking about delving into a script, playing a different role, putting on a costume and makeup and entering from the dimmed wings of the stage to the center of the brightly lit center is enough to interrupt the joys of summer. There are students who long for school because they are drama students who live to act. The Drama Teachers and Professors of Theater know exactly which students are longing to come back and start a new theatrical season. Teaching might not be the right word for the people who dedicate their lives to living theater that they share each semester. They are more like guides, showing the way to the inner actor that lies within each student. As the season progresses they begin to see a magical gift unfold within their students as they experience and grow within the characters that they portray. These are the teachers and professors who never stop thinking about their theater program even during the lazy summer months.

Although the beach is soothing and the countryside pleasing, the feeling of the theater, the smells of a new season of theater are always fresh in their mints. The hint of mustiness scent from the costume trucks, the odors fresh floor wax and paint, and the echo of the rehearsal halls are the friends that they long to meet again.

Putting all the elements in place to present a stage production takes times, patience, guidance, and logistical prowess on the part of the Drama Teacher or Theatrical Professor. The checklist is long and tedious for each and every Theatrical Production that they will stage with their students. Any help is more than welcome by these keepers of the magic of theater. Some things are just easier to do by getting in a rut. Like ordering the Makeup. It is either a quick re-order of last year's quantities or an assignment to an assistant to reorder.
