harold teams?

[gabrus53]

i can guarantee this has been asked before, but i was wondering the process of picking people to be on the harold teams at the ucb. i have heard a bunch of rumors about creating new teams, adding to existing ones. committees, auditions, all that jazz. can someone fill me in.
im curious like a cat thats why my friends call me whiskers

 

[El Jefe]

There's a Harold team committee who decides who gets put on which teams. They have open auditions about once a year, usually when they're forming a new team. They also invite people to fill vacancies on teams, and sometimes do invitation-only auditions.

 

[PatBaer]

And for the auditions, you need to have had taken at least 1 3B UCB class within a year of the audition (generally).

 

[Whines]

I've also been quietly pushing UCBT to just let me pick everyone.

Love,
Will Hines
a dick who wants attention right now.

 

[gabrus53]

so what would be a good strategy (route) to go about to get an audition for a harold team?
if im asking too many questions just shut off my power switch

.

 

[GoldDustWoman]

To get one, when they announce that there are going to be Harold team auditions, and you have taken a 3B in the previous year, you sign up.

That's it.

On the slightest chance that the world becomes a different place, you may want to invest in a bottle of Chardonnay for Will Hines.

Hey, "gabrus53" - post some more of the rumors you've heard and we'll try to help dispel them.

Or ... CONFIRM them. (thunder rolls)

Get out there in class, and really work on getting better. Then, when auditions roll around, try to show them what you are capable of. Nothing crazy, nothing showy, just you working your skills.

Also, sleep with Julie Brister.

 

[gabrus53]

oh sleep with julie brister...
paul scheer told me he was my ticket to the big time
good lay...albeit not gonna take me anywhere

how does the "harold comittee" know who to ask for auditions?

and this is for Kula...
the myth of student evaluations done by teachers hit or myth?

 

[Chris Kula]

Sorry, gabrus53, I'm not a UCB teacher, and thus not privvy to that kind of info.

But you're asking, do UCB teachers keep track of the dozens and dozens of students that are enrolled in UCB classes at any given time, exchanging detailed reports on the students' improv habits, acting strengths/weaknesses, and physical types while creating an Excel spreadsheet tracking initiations given and characters adopted?

I'd say yes, almost certainly. The book on John Reynolds must be a TOME!

 

[Julie]

I Heart Rumors

The book on John Reynolds must be a TOME!

Tis nothing compared to the volumes of material we have on Christoper Kula.

It's easier to bribe me with cocktails.

 

[gabrus53]

i was always wondering why my instructor was calling me student # 895462
it is all beginning to make sense

 

[Dyna Moe]

For the few classes I've taught, I keep it brief.

It's a sheet of graph paper with either "suck" or "less sucky" stamped next to every name.

 

[Rory]

Whatever you do don't go on the "Billy Merritt track of UCB theater success"

That's what happened to me and after three years of fetching, jumping, body painting, terrible dance routines, red bull runs and one liner put downs all I have is a bunch of dept from classes and a muli milliion dollar deal with Miller Lite and I hate Miller lite. Plus alot of the Miller money is counteracted by the classic Billy phrase "Oh is that YOUR weed"

If only I had an in with Manzoukas......

There is a big hat with small strips of paper in it. Each year the hat gets bigger and the strips get smaller..

 

[EpicZero]

When your name is picked out of the hat you walk up to it and the hat tells you which harold team you are on.

 

[ProfessorKirk]

Slytherin!

I had beard papa's for the first time.
It made me as happy as the first time I saw harold. I had discovered a new love.
One thing I have learned is that you shouldn't take classes to be put on a team...it ain't good for ya. The teams are fun and filled with wonderful people, but you should want to play to have fun, and to feel like a person eating beard papa's for the first time.

True. You should take classes because it is the fast track to SNL. Guaranteed!
