#support local theater

Someone I am very close to is one of the creators of this production. I've been really excited about the script/concept for a long time so I want their Kickstarter to get funded! It essentially uses lycanthropy as a metaphor for depression, but...knowing the person who wrote the script (who is an incredible writer), it's gonna be both dark and hilarious. If you can't donate, please share! And for those not in the local area who wouldn't be able to attend the show in person, if the Kickstarter gets fully funded, they're planning to make a digital copy of it available.

Having a drink and an eavesdrop. My favourite thing about local theatres like this is hearing all people related to the show, to the theater, excited to be able to suppprt each other. I hear that one person has seen the show so many times that their support has actually influenced the performance! I really wish that I lived in an area with this community... and then I realise I im getting one in the local metal community. I guess I'm just greedy I want more of them.

I am so (not) sorry for the person I’ll become when I can reblog gifs from The Menu without spoilers. Truly, my favorite film genre begins with “Wouldn’t it be fucked up if…”, and I hope it never ends.

#the menu #fucking hell #spoiler alert #please support your local theaters and bitches like me who need them

one thing that I hope occurs in the impending film and tv industry freeze because of the strikes is I hope theaters (especially local ones bc fuck big corporate chain theaters) start just. showing old movies. I’m so serious.

For a very long time theaters used to re-run films regularly and considering the great risk to theaters it would really be beneficial if they just re-ran some old classics or even new ones- and I tell you I would love nothing more than to see a bunch of old films in a theater setting like can you imagine what a blast that’d be? 

so anyway I haven’t a clue how to implement this but honestly petition local theaters to do this it’d be literally so fucking cool

#like y'all I'd love to see like casablanca or jaws with other people #underrated thing that we NEED to bring back as a result of the strikes #anyway support local theaters in this difficult time as well

Okay I don't normally do this but guys.

Go watch Janken Musical.

It's a parody musical done by the Israeli anime community, but it's just so catchy and good, with suprisingly heartfelt themes and characters and professional-level choreography and singing!

And while it's in Hebrew, there are English subtitles created by the original writers, and they're both extremely accurate and could be sung along with the melody!

It follows themes of hard work vs natural talent, of bullying in school, and of friendship and leadership, and it has the ONLY case I found of the childhood friends-to enemies-to lovers trope that I actually felt was resolved in a healthy way. It has a female and male leads and their relationship is strictly platonic.

It's about rock-paper-scissors.

It's been one of my biggest fandoms for the last year and a half, and now that it's out online I can finally share it with the world. If you about 1:39 minutes to watch a silly musical about rock paper scissors, I promise you this is worth your time.

#this is really so good and heartfelt and more people deserve to experience it #janken musical #ג'אנקן מיוזיקל #ישראלבלר #זה גם לכם #anime musical #anime #musicals #local theater #community theater #btw the guys on the picture are not. in fact. the leads #well the girl is but the guy is actually one of the support cast #Youtube #animusicals #אנימיוזיקלס

Forever shook. This was my first ever experience with spring awakening, and I really didn't know what to expect. Beautiful production and reinterpretation. Amazing acting and singing so much young talent I was in awe!!!

Y’all, high school musicals are so fun. I just went to see my friends at another school’s production of Matilda to watch Them Only as they made the world’s funniest choices in the ensemble and enjoyed every second, even when the mics weren’t on at the right time (or capped out, Matilda’s mom sure was Loud). There were some absolute standouts, Ms. Honey, Trunchbull, and Lavender were awesome. Basically uh go to your local high school’s show even if you have no connection to them at all, they probably need the money and you’ll have a night to either enjoy or criticize if you’re a hateful person I guess hfgdjfhd

#for some reason I’ve never seen a hs musical until now; I’ve only gone to the plays #there’s a lot of limitation in a high school when you add the musical component and it’s so fun to see what they do with what they have #and now I have something to compare our show to (so many people from my school were there tonight to see friends and also to scout the #-competition lol) #it was great that is all; support your local high school theater program #Matilda #matilda the musical #high school #school #theater

i feel like because successful actors are more visible in the public eye than other artists people don't internalize how fucking difficult it is to be a professional actor in the same way it is to be like a famous painter or any other artist anyway literally i don't care if you're a nameless rando who played police officer #2 in single episodes of tv shows nobody watches for their whole career if you make a living as an actor you deserve for someone to hand you a bouquet of roses and a trophy every time you cross the street and also i love you

#a guy came into my acting class last semester who belongs to an experimental theater company in vermont focusing on puppetry #and my classmates were like 'damn that's so sad and weird' and like. do you understand that this man is living the fucking dream #he's literally acts. for his job. that's what he does. and he can survive on that. #also he was super cool and a great actor anyway support local theater if you can

Doodles based on a performance I saw yesterday, the shapes and colours were absolutely wonderful

[stage-props]

see while i understand the sentiment behind this post, I think this person might just not be going to good local theater because "it's almost always bad" is the least accurate sentiment I've ever read about local theater groups

#Stage sings #your experiences aren't universal im sorry the groups youve seen suck #but this is like. the furthest thing from the truth #99% of the groups I've seen across multiple states and levels of 'amateurishness' have been relatively talented #and i know im not the only one who thinks that #maybe you shouldnt be insulting people's art in an attempt to come across as supportive of your local theater communities #because youre not gonna actually encourage people to go see and support small performances if you tell them basically #'this is going to suck so badly but you're being supportive of the poor untalented wannabe artists!!!' #every time i see this it just comes across as really insulting #as a small performer/playwright id rather people not come to my shows expecting us to be untalented

This probably isn’t Anything, but I’m starting to get really annoyed at the way people will talk about “bad/amateur” art being necessary for creativity to thrive, but at the same time like... being really smug and condescending about it.  Like they can’t stop themselves from stressing how “bad” the art is, but still indulging it.  It’s very much the same energy as somebody who looks at a modern art piece and says, “Well, my kid could have done that, but I guess it’s still impressive in its way.”

#There's a popular post going around about how local community theater is 'almost always bad' but you still have to (put up with) support it #and speaking as an actor who will probably never be on Broadway but still takes their career and community involvement very seriously... #shut the fuck up y'know? Don't demean the work we put in just because we don't have NYC funding. #It's the same kind of attitude that treats technical skill in the arts as some kind of moral imperative #and treats emotional honesty from small-time creatives like it's 'cringey' and 'the worst types of posts.' #Bitch are you really gonna complain about sincerity on The Sincerity Website? #RIP to all you smug jackasses with no passion and curiosity in your hearts but I'm different. :P #the schemer speaks

If you ever hear me mumbling about the surgery scar on the back of Phil’s neck do not approach me. I need space to be absolutely hysterical. Come back in 3-5 business days and I’ll be good but in the meantime I need to lie facedown on a carpeted surface undisturbed

#my cold medicine is hitting HARD tonight and idc #heard a story tonight from a woman who volunteered her chiropractor services at a small theater #and phil was there to volunteer and support a youth program for local kids #he very quietly and politely asked if she'd adjust his back but NOT his neck bc he was scared of hurting it again. and showed the scar #don't fucking text. oh my gd #literally on every single possible and impossible level except physical I am kissing the faded scar on the back of your neck oh my gd
