Acting
	The society has a growing number of actors all eager to prove that all the world is indeed a stage! Most of the shows have a scripted play of some kind - usually it sets the scene for the coming battle. Roles could be anything from King to lowly slave, although not all are speaking parts. The scripts have only an outline of the scene and characters with no pre-written lines. All dialogue is done on an 'ad lib' basis - each person knows who and what their character is and tailors their lines accordingly. The test for acting requires the applicant to take part in a short scene of their own devising. They are then given another short scene to enact chosen by the testers with a role opposite in nature to the previous one. The testers look for several things in the applicants performance including voice projection and the ability to move around so that the entire audience has a chance to see what is happening. As the audience is usually on several sides of the 'stage' this is quite important. One of the things that aspiring actors have to beware of is inappropriate language. This includes any modern terminology and any profanities - use of swear words will result in immediate failure. There are however a number of more appropriate phrases which can be used with impunity. The advanced test includes taking a major role in a scene during a show or performing a soliloquy in front of an audience.
