Theatre

Next was the only class Jamie really had any experience with from high school as she did join the drama club and participated in a few plays. The amphitheater wasn't hard to find as it was unflanked by other classrooms and was easily marked by its ticket booth, big double doors, and its place alone at the end of the building. Inside she found a dozen students sitting in the front row and looking at their syllabi while the teacher was no where to be found. As she sat and took a paper from the stage, the tapping of feet on hardwood echoed throughout the room and a man came into few. He ran and hoped to center stage, "Hello student! And welcome to the THEATRE! I will be your professor, Mr. Faraday. Yes, THE Hubert Faraday. I know, I know. Thank you, hold your applause. Oh really, you're too kind..."

The overly dramatic man took many bows before the dumbfounded students who had said nothing nor clapped after hearing his name. Jamie could tell the man was going to be like this all semester as he was dressed for the part of egotistical, washed up or possibly failed actor who flamboyantly made his presence known wherever he went. From his fluffy blouse, curled hair (aided by old fashioned curling), tight pants, pointed shoes, to his offbrand jewelry he must have gotten from some shady guy in a trench coat.

He began again with another annoucement, "And you guys and gals are in for a treat as this semester I was able to convince the school to hire my former costar and dear friend, Alexandria Regan. Yes, yes, she is related to THAT Regan. She is his third cousin's adopted douagter's brother in-law's neice's fourth cousin. Come on out Alex!" He jazz handed his way off stage as a woman in a beret and a dark outfit walked to the center and greeted everyone modestly. "She will, be helping me write, direct, and cast as well as act on stage with you for some productions."

The two "seasoned" actors rustled up some chair and sat before the class filling them on the course goals and areas of acting they will cover. In class they will work on performances until a couple of months in where they will switch to play after play that will be preformed beide live audiences who buy tickets to pay for the theatre and arts programs at the college. Jamie as thrilled to tackle acting once agin, hoping that she wants too rusty and that these hacks wouldn't hinder her work on stage with flawed director or ridiculous requests.
