   Michael's Networking
Theatre - Dramaturgy - Other
Why such limited choices in a field that encompasses nearly every human activity and every human art form? Myspace needs MY history class!
Film - Drama - Acting
So, why does Myspace separate these categories, when the industry does not (they just hire the actor who is right for the role)?

About me:
I teach students, write both scholarly and creative works, create/direct/produce new theatre/digital performances, and concern myself with understanding and improving the health and welfare of my students, friends, family, community, and nation.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who can help me grow. People who can help my students. People who can help me and my students reach their fullest potentials. People like ...


ATTENTION ALL BSU GRADS! This is the one film you should make in the next six months. Check it out, enter, and change the world.
