Foothill Theatre Company needs help

Superstar — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:31:36 GMT

Just passing along a message I received. I've been to this theatre and it is amazing. Outdoor theatre in the woods, bring your own picnic lunch, wine, etc. Great place. I would hate to see it go under. If you can help, please do so. Community theatre is so awesome, let's keep it around. Thanks.

The Foothill Theatre Company needs your help!

New Play "Chola" Welcomes Your Critique

Donnie — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 06:16:23 GMT

I have a play titled “Chola” I am getting ready to bring to the stage in the spring of 2008, but before I do I want to make sure it is as good as it can be. This play is registered with the Writers Guild of America, but I am looking for readers to give me an honest critique to see if I want to make any changes while there is still time.

A brief synopsis:

What if a female Latina gangbanger moves from the big city to a small community to stay with her aunt and uncle, but she brings her colorful ways with her?

CHOLA The Play will take you on a journey as Lupe, a nineteen-year-old Chola from Fontana, California arrives at her relatives’ home and the drama begins.

The last census showed 228 people in the town, though technically it wasn’t really a township. Not Yet. Perhaps in a few years they’d get around to it, but there was no hurry. Things were slow out here. Life was predictable, simple, quiet. At least until Lupe arrived.

So what does a Chola do in such a remote place to keep from getting bored? Old habits die hard, they say. And as Lupe goes about “fitting in,” her big city ways soon bump up against the local lifestyle.

If you are interested in reading it, message me with your email and I will send it to you.

Thank you!

Donnie Nichols
Playwright, etc.

Acting Career FAQ - Representation

Mon, 18 Apr 2005 14:00:12 GMT

Agent? Manager? Do It Yourself?

I recently got an email (one of dozens I've gotten on
this subject) asking me if I could - "explain the
difference between an agent and a manager and which
would be better for me to sign with - to get my career
going?"

Here's my answer:

Dear *****,

Neither an agent or a manager can help you "get a
career going."

The concept that a powerful man or woman can step in
and help you skip all the hard work involved in
starting an acting career - is a "fairy tale."

There is no short-cut to the top of show business (or
even to the middle for that matter). There's also no
Great Pumpkin or Easter Bunny.

If it could be done this way, then agents and managers
would simply pick any actor out of the thousands of
headshots they get every week and turn them into stars.

It cannot be done this way - which is why agents are
so unresponsive to unsolicited headshot mailings.

The good ones are pros and they're not going to waste
their valuable time trying to accomplish what they know
cannot be done.

Their businesses are similar - but not the same.

One sells a product. The agent is a sales person for
the product known as YOU. Sales people (agents) judge
their how well their business is going by how much
money they make. A really good sales professional likes
to make lots of money.

If your product is not saleable (one that people aren't
ready to buy yet) then a sales person won't make a lot
of money selling it (you).

Not surprisingly, agents are coldly business-like about
this part. Until you've managed to start your career
yourself (making money as an actor) don't expect any
really good sales people to be interested.

Managers are just what the word implies. The manage
things. Mailings, bookings, transportation, job offers,
promotion - the day to day business of YOU. (But keep
in mind that in most markets, they are precluded
by law from seeking work for you.)

The top managers are usually the top managers because
they manage very successful careers.

In the past two decades the professional manager class
has had its own difficulties with an influx of "bottom
feeders."

The worst of these are outright crooks, whose only goal
is to separate you from you money or your credit card
with no intention of helping you in any way.

Almost as bad are the ineffectual show biz hangers-on
who rent offices and go about the business of "signing"
practically anyone who walks through their door - then
what they do is they send out your pictures to every
little thing listed in the Breakdowns.

It's just postage.

Since these folks are generally clueless themselves,
they will submit you for stuff you aren't right for.
This is a good way to get labeled as a "clueless"
actor by the casting people.

Many young actors are fooled into thinking that they
must have a manager, any manager - that it's "good
business".

It isn't.

In reality you are signing an agreement to give someone
25% (or more) of your income after YOU successfully
ESTABLISH YOURSELF as an actor who makes money.

Bottom feeders spend a great deal of their business day
writing threatening letters to collect money from actors
who have realized their mistake and don't want to pay 25%
of their income for someone to do ineffective mailings.

The big boys (and girls) in the management game, are
just like agents when it comes to money. They want to
manage a "going concern" and they spend all their time
looking for the next "big thing."

Think about that.

Professional managers make a boatload of money when
they manage to sign on with a Vin Diesel or J-Lo - isn't
it reasonable to assume that they are LOOKING ALL THE
TIME. In fact, they hire people to look - they've got
part-time, secret lookers on their payroll.

Believe me, If you have what they want - if you are a
going concern with a name that you've made for yourself
- they know their managing skills will take you to a
whole new level (making LOTS of money) and they get a
big chunk of a LOT - then, believe me, they will seek
you out.

3. Most importantly, as long as you continue to
believe that your main job is looking for someone else
to help you "build" your career -- you won't be spending
enough time doing the crucial things you need to do
yourself to build your own career.

This is a very bad tactic which results in frustration,
wasted years and, ultimately, failure to achieve what
you want.

If you don't concentrate on doing your part it's
unlikely that you will ever build your business into
something big enough to be noticed by a good agent or
a good manager.

In other words, by all means keep looking for a sales
staff, and a management team - but don't neglect your
business while you're doing it.

Hope that helps.

P.S. A lot of you have written to asking me how to get
the free "Hello Pages" (Over 6000 Show Biz contacts -
casting directors, agents, managers, web sites, film
festivals, acting teachers and coaches, etc.)

Here's how it works: Go to my site, scroll down to the
VERY bottom of the home page and click on "FREEBEES."

When you get to the freebees page, sign up for my
free newsletter, Hollywood How-To, which is all about
your acting career and comes to you once a month.

You will get an email from me asking you to "confirm"
your subscription (this is so people won't sign up
other people without permission) when you confirm that
you signed up, you will get another email (in about 24
hours) that gives you the download instructions for
The "Hello Pages."

I know it's a little round-about, but I hate being
accused of sending a famous prepared meat product.

Wouldn't you?

Have a great week and ...

Much Success,

Bob Fraser

New theatre/talent company starting.

Mon, 21 Feb 2005 03:15:47 GMT

Hi.
I am starting a new theatre/talent company in the Los Angeles area.
This will give anyone who is a member of it, real publicity, even if you live far from L.A.
The idea is, to give all members of the company, advertising space in all the programs of all the shows that we do.
That will include, plays, modeling shows, and anything that we do.
If you are an actor, model, or someone who wants to get notice in the entertainment industry, then you can have your picture, bio, e-mail address, and more in every program.
That way, if you live far from Hollywood, or, are not in a show, you still get notice.
If you are a business, then you can take out advertising space, and become a member without paying membership dues.
I want a quality company, that gives back to the community, and one that brings customers to any business that is a part of this.
I LOVE the idea.
Entertainment and business have been very successful together for years, and advertising combined with people who have an eye for success, well, wins.
Please look at my profile at Myspace.com for more details.

Thank you.

I am finally onstage again in 1940's Radio Hour, after a nearly 7 year hiatus. During that time, I have been directing community, educational, and professional theatre.

How's it going for everyone?

Marat/Sade...woah! What a show!
And The House of Yes? I've only seen it on film and never read the script! Amazing piece of work. I would love to play that role.
