I'd like to start a tradition with the theater that I'm in. Any good suggestions and ideas?

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
well.... lol at my high school we have a tradition for intermission of every show. to get the energy up, we do something... a little sexual... lol. just think of something fun to get energy up between the acts. i cant technically tell you what we do ;)

A really great tradition that we do is chant. The last preformance really gets emotional when the student director of this years plays hands the leader position over to the student director of next years play. Any ways, the words are... {remember you say one line and thenthe ensamble repeats the line back. It practices diction and volume}
To sit in solemn silence
On a cold dark dock
In a pestilential prision
with a life long lock
awaiting the sensation
of a short sharp shock
from the cheap and chippy choppers
on the big black blocks
I know men of the ranks
And they're going to stay in the ranks
why?
I'll tell you why
Simply because they have the ability to get things done!

in my theatre class before our major spring play (which is tomorrow....wish me luck!) my director takes down one ceiling tile down and we all either put our handprint on it or sign it with our name and charactors name...its a fun idea! hope i helped

well, every year before my school play, we form a luck circle. before the show, we all get in a huge circle. one person starts it by squeezing the hand of the person on their left. then that person squeezes the hand of the person on their left, etc. its just a small special tradition we have, and it really helps to calm us down before the show, and focus. hope i helped!

Wicked fun!! Crazy warmups are tons of fun before every show and they help you get more in the mood. Also totally put fun and random stuff in the dressing rooms. Things like strobe lights and posters and fun stuff that. Have dance parties in the dressing rooms. Theres all sorts of stuff you can do and the more crazy and random...the better. Just have fun with it and teach all of the new actors about it and keep it going. Have fun!

Well, you could buy a charm or ornament, or find one in the prop room/scene shop that never gets used. A friend of mine recieved a silver music note ornament with a letter- the letter explaining that this ornament has been passed down, and it's hers until she graduates, then she's got to add her name to the list and pass it on to a new singer, someone she thinks deserves it. You could try something like this.
Or is there a prop that could be used in multiple shows? I'm thinking like a purse or a box or something. Something that could be put in the set of almost any show, that from season to season the cast and crew would know it's there, but wouldn't really affect the show.
I guess the last suggestion I have would be to start a theater scrapbook. Make copies of all your favorite pictures, ticket stubs, programs, etc., and ask your friends and fellow cast members to contribute, too.

i think something cool and simple would be a really crazy pre-show dance/warmup. that will be remembered! <3

You can have a cast party after your shows, if you don't do that already. Have pizza and that sort of thing, and if your play is taped, you can watch it. Maybe, if you know when the theater was opened, you can have a "birthday party" for celebrating the many plays and such. Hope I helped. ♥ Kristen

Maybe, every new year you can all get together and watch all the plays you've done and have a sort of party. It might be a little late, but you can still try. I hope I helped!

Maybe like one day of every week the crew members can dress up as characters from a well-known movie? I think that'd be fun :)
