My dear ones, I propose a break from all this talk of violence and regulation and riots. Surely discussion must go on, but I prefer to turn my attention toward more enriching exploits. In my spare time I have been reading a number of books in the library, some containing plays and others in the progression of dramatic technique since my passing. I am most intrigued and now have it in my head to put that stage in the dining hall to proper use -- with permission from the Wardens, of course.

I, of course, will direct, and look to my fair neighbors here to find a suitable cast and crew.

But what play to choose? Something with a little grit and guts, I think. Well-versed though I am in the older traditions, it is nice to see that theatre takes more chances in later times. It will be unusual to see a production that is not comprised of rhyming couplets.

Sign me up!

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be interested, Mademoiselle.

[daisyadair1938.livejournal.com]

I definitely am!

Now, when will the audition be?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Just don't select anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Please. For my sake.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've come across him. What does he do?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Atrocious, derivative musical theatre.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

You have my permission.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Have you any suggestions?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Something funny.

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

I could be in the crew, I did something like that back in my own world.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

[acid_rayne]

What the hell's a couplet?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Two lines of verse, Madame.

Ohhh...

My childhood was sort of lacking in classical education.

NOES WHERE IS MY BABY ALL DOLLED UP ICON??

[spo0kshow-baby.livejournal.com]

I wanna be in it! I can sing and dance.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Is that a fact?

[spo0kshow-baby.livejournal.com]

You bet your sweet ass it is!

Inmates can join, right? With one of us in charge, I'd certainly think so.

Hmm. Spamalot is funny. Hamlet is dramatic. I always wanted to see Wicked, but that's more Broadway. What about something you wrote? Given it's appropriate, of course...

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I would like to experiment with some more modern writings.

Hey, if you need a romantic lead... what up.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

What up?

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I would love to be in a play, preferably acting. You need more actors, correct?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I need more actors, and more suggestions!

For the love of God, don't do Our Town.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Why?
