AAAAAAHHHHH OH MY STORMS YES MY SCHOOL IS DOING THE SCOTTISH PLAY RIGHT NOW I THINK OUR DIRECTOR WANTS US DEAD So auditions were on Friday the 13th Our other play for the year got canceled even though we’d already had it cast and started blocking And the guy who plays Macbeth has been sick for a month. (It’s supposed to perform beginning of January…we’ll see what happens) Okay wait now I’m curious, what happened to you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It’s supposed to perform beginning of January…we’ll see what happens) Okay wait now I’m curious, what happened to you? We weren't doing the Scottish Play, but someone said it. Look, I don't consider myself superstitious, but here's what happened: 1. Our lead was double cast. A week before the show, one of them dropped out 2. There was a literal tornado like a block from us 3. The power in the building we were going to perform in got knocked out 4. The power in the backup building (which had a carpeted stage, by the way, in a very tap-heavy show) also got knocked out, halfway through Act I 5. I lost my voice before our last two shows It's all probably a coincidence, but it does make for a good story! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part Of The Narrative she/her Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) hey there... I LOVE THEATER; I've been in two musicals but I love watching them...I love coffee and cats and my two favorite musicals of all time are Hamilton and The greatest showman...if you can change my mind I'll follow you I spell it theater but I like the other spelling as well; my dream roll is probably Eliza or Maria Reynolds...yes I know the chances of a production I'm in ever being Hamilton are like a bazillion to one but don't burst my delusion bubble. I worked very hard to craft these delusions and they are all original, organic, and non GMO. my shard buddies so far: guys I just joined yesterday don't judge me @Just-A-Stick Edited November 17, 2023 by Part Of The Narrative 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome, welcome, welcome! I will not try to change your mind about Hamilton or The Greatest Showman because they are both great (although the latter isn’t technically theatre yet) Dream high! I’d never dream of bursting any bubbles delusional or not. :] You should fix your spelling though Oh, I almost forgot! The reason I came to this thread was to tell you guys what I did last Sunday. I was the Grinch!! We had our performances last weekend and it was soo fun. It was pretty disastrous and not in any way polished or clean (With one of our leads being unable to sing their entire solo song among other complications ) but, we weren’t expecting a masterpiece so it was so fun anyway! I’m so glad I did it and all the little kids loved it so that’s the main thing! oh and my tap dancing was fairly okay for someone who’s never done formal tap and has only owned tap shoes/ been trying to learn for a few months! Pro tip: if you are ever Elphaba the Grinch, Shrek, or have to wear specifically green body paint, be prepared to wash your face at least seven times and it still not be fully gone Edited December 7, 2023 by Ookla the Starship Ranger Add grinch stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you count that one goblet we accidentally shattered onstage. Or the fake blood that's now permanently stained into the theatre room floor. But like...it's kind of eerie how well it all went. I think we might just...be so good we broke the curse? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the musical at school last year and enjoyed it and last night I got him to (finally) watch Hamilton and contrary to his expectations he loved it! Victory is mine.

SmilingPanda19 Hi/Ho Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I’m preforming Mean Girls in two weeks, YAYYYY! (We have TOTALLY finished act two *sarcasm*) Im also preforming The Little Mermaid in April!!! I’m excited and scared at the same time. As a relatively new theatre kid (I did stage crew for a year) I think I’m actually loving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Soooooo, I have some great news! I’m doing a theatre studies course as a class and for one of our AoS we have to analysise a musical, and for another a contrasting play. Well the musical that VCAA (the lords and ladies of the curriculum planning) picked Wicked. Which means, legally we have to go watch it and — it gets better— it’s free! The school/VCAA pay. So, I do not only get to go watch my third favourite musical for free, I also get to write an essay/do an exam/other form of response that will be decided upon at a later date about it. At one point I could confidently say I knew all the words to all the songs. Booyah! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
