"Am-Dram"

[Accidentally Abstract]

I remember that stuff too. Well, I remember it being mentioned. Can't say I listened enough.. =\

Amateur dramatics - which yes, as a matter of habit I refer to as am-dram - is by no means a specifically middle class thing. These days, it is often a way for aspiring actors to build up experience before having a shot in the professional field. 'Am-dram' is, as others have said, likely to be the term used by those who've done it - it's also something of a luvvie thing.

Pfft... To be honest this whole Am-Dram, Middle-class, Working-class thing confuses me so much!

I don't mean to be horrible, by why the hell does it matter if you are working class or middle class? As I see it, it is neither something to be proud of neither something to sneer at, it is just an outdated stereotype.

I mean... someone stop me if I am wrong but aren't "Am-Dram" and "A Drama Club" basically the same thing? I bet if you said you went to "A Drama Club" you would say it was more working class and "Am-Dram" would be thought of as middle class?

Pfft, the whole thing is rediculous! It's just a hobby.
