Feature Story

For my feature story I want to gather what the experience of going to the theater is like to the people who view it, direct it and play in it.  My friend is the one with the information on the performance, so I am waiting for her to get back to me on that.  I suppose it would be more of a personality profile on the theater experience or a human interest story.  I want to see what draws someone to the theater; to work in it and see it.

If that doesn't work out I have another idea.  There's a theater camp where the directors train kids to act, and I think it would be interesting to interview the people who work for the camp.  The camp doesn't start until July, however, so it might be difficult to get in contact with anyone.

Update: The ballet idea fell through; now I have to figure something else out.

I've been thinking.  Since the ballet story didn't work out, I think I'll save the theater camp story for later, and focus on a student with a theater major or minor.  I am waiting for an old class mate to get back to me still.

In the mean time, I think I will call up the Children's Playhouse of Maryland, on N Charles st since it's near by.  They have a summer camp for children and I am hoping they will let me talk to someone in charge of the program.

There's also a production of the Wizard of Oz at CCBC Essex, and a production of Beauty and the Beast at Toby's Diner.  I'm not sure where these places are, or how I will get to them yet, but hopefully someone will be open to an interview.
