Theatre teacher and favoritism
Well my theatre teacher seems to do things unfaily and favor people sometimes. For example, he always picks my friend for the main part in every show and the thing is, it's so unfair to the upperclassmen who have more skill and have been doing theatre longer than my friend (my friend is a freshman.) My friend is good and all, but it seems like my theatre teacher is always cheating the upperclassmen out of good parts, I mean because my friend has had the lead role in plays before and she has many more theatre shows to go, so I don't see why he doesn't just pick some upperclassmen for the roles, because all of the upperclassmen are better at acting than anyone else in the whole drama club and yet, he's never given any of them a lead role. I, as well as other people, think that he does many things unfairly and we've talked to him about it before, but our talking to him doesn't ever seem to make a difference. So my question is, how can I get on my theatre teacher's good side? because I am still a freshman, but I'm predicting that since I'm kind of laid-back and I do have a similar personality to most of the upperclassmen, my theatre teacher is probaly gonna cheat my out of a leading role when I'm an upperclassmen, just like he's doing now. And yes it's kinda unfair how he handles things, but there's nothing we can do about it and it doesn't really seem like he notices me right now and I want to show that i have the potential to handle a lead role, because I don't want to not get a part I derserve, just like my upperclassmen friends. SO what I'm asking is, how can I show my theatre teacher that I'm willing to work hard and that I want to have good parts in the plays? Sorry if this is confusing... I read it and realized that it's probably hard to understand, I mean it made sense to me when I wrote it but idk how comprehendable it really is hahahaha... but any advice any of you have would be greatly appreciated. :-) <3

Maybe give some free advice about: Theater?
Well, we have somthing in common, I auditioned for Beauty and The Beast, i have been taking voice lessons for some time and I have gotten leads in every production i've been in since 6th grade, i am now a senior in high school. I did not get a part in Beauty and The Beast, i got called back and they didn't find me a part. Basically what im saying is, if your going into theatre you have to get used to being rejected. I know its very hard. If your just doing the plays for fun, then do just that, have fun with it. Theatre people enjoy outgoing talented people, if the seniors are talented enough, they should have gotten there chance to shine already. But as for you, keep with it and keep trying, but theatre is a lost cause without a promise of hope. All you can do is your best.

I had a teacher like this last year.
All you have to do is...
- Don't mis-behave and get his nerves.
- Try and help him with anything he needs help with.
- Do your homework if you have any and practice the roles.
and there you go...
You got on his good side. :]
If he continues acting like this, tell another teacher or talk to him, because this is unfair to you and everyone else.
