To those of you who have expressed an interest, you will be pleased to know that I think I have finally selected a play. It was not one directly recommended, but at the behest of a few people I delved more into the writings of one particular writer and decided that I should like to try one. The play that I have selected, having liked the material and with an understanding that there will be mostly equal roles for male and female actors, is "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams.

Having read the play and stage directions and made notes, however, I realize that though the stage is of a decent size, along with actors and actresses, I am also going to need others: Set designers and builders will be required -- not to mention the materials for them to use. I will also need the aid of anyone who can sew clothing -- who will also likewise require access to such things.

Lighting, effects, musicians -- the latter is important. There are not many places in the play that music is outright required, but one or two people with some grasp of an instrument would be helpful.

I, of course, intend to direct.

(ooc: I feel like a right idiot for picking the play that I did -- largely because I talk about this play a lot, and it reeks of pepperjack cheese to me, but I think the male to female ratio in the cast was more even, and since I know it well I can at least give some substance to the Marquis bitching. Admit it, though; it's totally a safe choice.)

Welcome to the Barge. I am pleased to have drawn your attention, if what you say is true.

jonesing for the limelight as much as for a hit of Z

You better believe it's true. I'm surprised you haven't heard of me.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I am afraid I come from a time somewhat earlier in history than most who are brought here, with only a choice few exceptions. So it is probably more appropriate that I ask whether you've heard of me.

One of Pavi's fucking heroes, it seems.

Ah, you two are familiar? I've only encountered the man on the journals recently, myself.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
He's one of my older brothers--supporting cast to the feature performer. I'm sure you understand.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
I have no siblings to speak of, so I cannot attest to how true that might be.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Just trust me. I'm the one worth something.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you will prove that to me in auditions, Mademoiselle.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Auditions? Well that's no fun.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
If you are as capable as you say that you are, I expect nothing but the best from you.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I only fucking give the best, no audition needed.

Hey...couldn't we work a little something out? I have other talents...

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I know nothing of your acting abilities, Mademoiselle. How would showcasing your other talents reassure me?

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Who said those had nothing to do with my acting abilities?

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
You seem to think that coming to some arrangement that does not involve my seeing what you are capable of on a stage would suffice in the place of an audition.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm telling you that I'm the best. I was, after all, the star of the Genetic Opera after Blind Mag bit it. You can trust me.

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea what the Genetic Opera is. However, this is my production. So if you want to be the best on my stage, that is my decision.

You audition or you can rank yourself among spectators rather than actors.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, fine, whatever. I'll come to your fucking audition!

[identity profile] impure-tale.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Splendid.

she's totally testing the competition

Excuse me, hi. Daisy Adair.

Are you trying out for Blanche or Stella?
Edited 2009-07-13 03:13 (UTC)

She's definitely rising to the bait. Funny how withdrawal makes one snippy.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Amber sweet doesn't play supporting roles

[identity profile] daisyadair1938.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so?

Do you even know the role of Blanche?

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Like I need to. A diva can do any role.

[identity profile] daisyadair1938.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't think so.

You see, I've played Blanche many times on stage, so I know the part like I know my own face and I can honestly say I don't think you are fit for the part.

[identity profile] warmscalpelhigh.livejournal.com 2009-07-13 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, i'm sure your face could use a little help, and I'll see to it that you don't get it from GeneCo if when I get off of this fucking heap.

Who the fuck do you think you are anyway? Who has even heard of you?
