Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 19, 2003 My school's Drama Club (which is ordinarily very good, and which I am a member) has been running a show called The Boyfriend this winter with a new director. Let's just say... it's definitly a rebuilding year. There are about 4 competant male actors (on a good day) and about 4 ladies who aren't bad either. The problem is, they double-casted which means there's a LOT of crap in between the good stuff. One of the very few things I'm good at is comedy and acting, so it would seem natural I'd get a big part, right? No. I have a small part as a comic-relief skirt-chaser with one pretty good duet. For my duet (which is one of about 5 scenes I have and the only song I have solos in) I got a standing O, and got another one at curtain call which is pretty unprecedented for a non-Senior or leading man/lady. The last two days I've gotten tons of compliments (and more than one person told me I "made" the show). Worst of all, they only gave me that role for the A Cast, and for B Cast they gave it to a Senior (who can't act or sing) just because he's a Senior. And yes... even *I* can't carry a show from the chorus line. I just found out in the Spring we're doing "Bye Bye Birdie" which pretty much guarantees I'll have another small role since I'm only passable on choreography. Dammit, why can't they just do The Crucible and let me carry this motherfucker to greatness? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Report post Posted November 19, 2003 Oh and I forgot to mention: The reason I'm stuck with small parts is because I don't get along with most of the rest of the cast. Of course, most of the rest of the cast can't act or sing so fuck 'em. Backstage politics suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not being a cock, it's more that I just don't care what people think of me. I have my circle of friends in Drama, it's just not as big as I'd like. Jack, if I'm a sub-par asshole what does that make you and CJ? Guys who let a sub-par asshole get under their skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any REAL merits for us to adore about you? Because this intellectual grandstanding crap is too funny for my sore throat to handle. I'm not intellectually grandstanding just because I tell you I have a gift for acting. And I apologize if I make you feel inadequate, Kotz I really am. You're gonna have to get over that on your own, though. I love how people whine about how bad their lives are endlessly on here, and I make a half-joking thread about my situation in Drama as compared to Jericho being "held down" on RAW. You guys need to realize how lucky you truly are to even have me grace this shithole with my presence. I'd challenge any poster on this board to a flamewar, if I thought I'd have to do anything more than read another helping of your putrid drivel. Some of you people disgust me to my very core, and even *I'm* beginning to tire of your hypocrisy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh and YOU'RE Mr. Congeniality? Give me a fucking break, Sandman. Now that I've got time here. Good ol' Zsaszy here whines and complains that since (in his own mind since we have no one to verify his claims) he's better then anyone else in the play, he should be promoted more and the entire productions should be tailored to his needs. In another example previously, he whined about his school newspaper, and the bitch of an editor. Some of the things I remember him bitching about was her trying to focus on local news stories, which GASP! people around the local community might care about! Any journalist worth his salt will tell you to localize any story that you can. So, we have a person who clearly buys into his own hype, as presented in this grandstand challenge to anyone on a message board, which would ultimately mean nothing in the real world. A person who admits that he is limited people skills, which means that I'd imagine he talks down to people frequently, or has some kind of a condensending attitude towards them. And when he bitches that a senior who is less talented then him gets a spot, I'd imagine that he's forgetting that this is the last chance for this other person to perform, who has possibly spent a longer amount of time with this drama program and is finally getting their chance to shine. But, of course, since he might not possibly be as good as our ol' Zsaszy pumps himself up to be, he is clearly inferior in every which way and needs to recognize and bow down to the almighty presence that is Mr. Zsasz, if we are even allowed to say your name, all powerful one. If you truly believe that you are too good for this "shithole," as you put it, nothing is stopping you from taking this superiority act somewhere else. I believe I can say that I'm not the only one who will not miss you. As for me, yes, I am an asshole. I'd admitted it before and I'll admit it again. Unlike you, however, I don't pump myself up and I don't expect people to bow before me and bend to my will. I just expect them to get out of my way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
