"A PLAY IS THE SAME AS A MUSICAL.....EXCEPT JUST THE OPPOSITE" Editor's Note: Mike Collins has been an elementary school teacher in St. Louis, Missouri, for 18 years. Each winter when his class studies occupations he finds that "a surprising number of children choose to read about and report on career opportunities in the theatre." Below are some of the bon mots Mr. Collins has garnered from his students over the years. "Another name for an actor is Thespian. But I think I will just stick with the first name and learn it good." "The professional theatre will not be like it should be until it gets like it was when we did not have any and appreciated all the things the professional theatre offered." "A good thing about just going to New York and trying to be an actor is don't." "Everybody shouldn't even try to learn how to do everything in presenting a play. The difference between now and in the past is today we know not to try to know everything but to specialize. Like cows give milk while chickens prefer to lay eggs." "You should always capitalize the word actor unless it is not the first word in the sentence." "Actors are very interesting folks. All their ways are smiling ways and glad to see you ways." "Lyricists could just as well be called something else if we could only think of a better name for them." "Now that I have studied about all the people it takes to present a play, the next time I hear how it costs a lot of money to put one on I will just twinkle an eye and know why." "In going around looking for a job in theatre, the fun is not in the feet." "The harder an actor works, the more successful he will be. When he is first getting started, he might have to work around-the-clock, twelve days a week." "All the things stage electrical technicians need to know have advanced to the point where they are no longer understandable." "Will they ever get to the point where they no longer present musicals on the stage? The chances are 999 out of a hundred." "What I would actually do if I was a set designer has a very short memory in my mind." "Once I played the part of an old lady in our school play. I was so scared I would have fainted if I knew how." "I was thinking no actors ever went to college to try to learn to act. When I learned different, all the thoughts I was going to say went in a swallow down my throat."
