The Broadway Disaster
There’s three reasons why I’ve never been to Broadway. I can’t sing, I can’t act, and I can’t dance. Well, at least that’s what I told my friend who was talking about broadway tickets nyc. I guess he bought some tickets from there and gave them to me, and I thought I’d make that joke about not being able to sing or dance. I think I heard it on the Lucy show or something. He thought it was pretty funny, and he went and told his wife, who didn’t think it was funny one bit. She used to be a great singer, but after she started working as an assistant to that flame thrower over in the Vaudeville act, she lost her voice completely. She can’t really blame anybody except herself. I guess she was after a little thrill, and got burned. Get it? Got burned? Ok, so maybe my jokes really aren’t that funny. I should stick to computer programming or whatever it is that I do.

Hollywood acting classes would seem to have plenty of use, but are they being underutilized? As evident by some of the movies I’ve seen recently, I would say yes. Acting isn’t as easy as people say. If you think it’s so easy, just turn on your television and you’ll see plenty of people who aren’t good at it. It’s a craft, and those who don’t take it seriously don’t stay employed long, if they find employment at all. But how about a standardized level of ability? Much like how we have to practice before we earn our driver’s license, why isn’t there a set criteria of skills that need to be demonstrated by actors before they’re allowed to seek employment? Yes, acting quality is subjective, but if you can’t convince me that you’re genuinely upset your wife died (Brad Pitt in Seven) then maybe you need to go back to actors education classes.
