IMDB rating: 7.20 Plot: All the hot gamblers are in town, and they’re all depending on Nathan Detroit to set up this week’s incarnation of “The Oldest Established Permanent Floating Crap Game in New York”; the only problem is, he needs $1000 to get the place. Throw in Sarah Brown, who’s short on sinners at the mission she runs; Sky Masterson, who accepts Nathan’s $1000 bet that he can’t get Sarah Brown to go with him to Havana; Miss Adelaide, who wants Nathan to marry her; Police Lieutenant Brannigan, who always seems to appear at the wrong time; and the music/lyrics of Frank Loesser, and you’ve got quite a musical. Includes the songs: Fugue for Tinhorns, “Luck Be a Lady”, “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat”. |

Move to California to go to USC and try to be an actress? 10 points!!?
I’m a junior in high school. I participate in the theater at my school. I currently have the lead for the Spring Musical of Guys and Dolls. I get straight A’s.
Since i was little I’ve dreamed of being in the movies and one day possibly winning an Academy Award. Though it’s something i aspire to do, I want to be realistic and have a back up plan. I was thinking about applying to University of Southern California. It’s in Los Angeles, so i figured that it would be a great place to get a good education in possibly a bachelor in Nursing and also try and pursue my dream of acting. If it doesn’t happen, then It doesn’t happen.
…I live out of state so the cost of attending would be pretty expensive.
Is it worth it to do this? Or should i just plan on moving there after college?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
USC has one of the best Acting programs in the country. They’re also a GREAT university overall.
Do you need a BFA/MFA degree to act? Nope. Will it help? maybe…
I majored in both business and music in college. The business degree was my best decision for many reasons. Because of it I have been more successful than my colleagues who have either started the same time as I did or have been doing this much longer. Thanks to my business degree, I have been able to successfully market myself, network effectively, be more professional, avoid scams, know tax loopholes/write offs, etc. It has also helped me produce multiple streams of income so I can pursue acting because I enjoy it and NOT as a source of income.
This is called show BUSINESS, not show-screwing around.
Also, I believe college is about experiencing as much as you can. Audit as many classes outside of your major and get involved with campus activities. Part of acting is living the life. Get a rich college experience so you have a good story to tell through your experiences.
My beef is with year+ institutions like AADA and BFA/MFA programs is this. I believe in being more diverse in my training. The year+ programs can sometimes be like factories where they churn out actors who are taught pretty much the same thing through a structured curriculum. What might work for one person, will NOT work for a different person.
Also, a lot of the conservatories and BFA/MFA programs have strict policies such as NOT being able to audition outside of their school or study at other places simultaneously. I think this is limiting to the actor. The actor should have the freedom to audition for outside projects and add to the current curriculum.
