#1"Meeting of the Minds" BWW posters style
Posted: 7/4/07 at 10:16pmYears ago Steve Allen had this great show called "Meeting of the Minds". He would 4 have actors each dress as famous people from the past. They would all sit at the table and discuss a topic using their views from their time era and as the historic person they were portraying. The idea was to have completly different points of view. For example, he might have Genghis Khan, Albert Einstein, Catherine the Great, and Gandhi. What if you used 4 BWW posters for a Meeting of the Minds? Who would you put at the table?

Margo Channing, for the insight. I learn something new everytime s/he posts.
D2, tazber, and DGG are the other three. I think they're funny.

The idea is to have four people with very different points of view, isn't it?
I have to think about it.

Posted: 7/4/07 at 10:39pmYes- four very DIFFERENT minds. That's what made the show so interesting (and the fact that the actors stayed in character and really did their research about their character's opinions).

Posted: 7/4/07 at 10:43pmHmm so it should be four posters who all range in their knowledge of theater?

DG - mature & wild
D2 - mature & more conservative
Jaily - young & wild
Liotte - young & more conservative
(nothing meant negatively or insulting)
I would like to see how all would react with each other, plus they are all some of my favorite people anyway!

Posted: 7/4/07 at 10:53pmThat's one way to do it. I can also see putting sarcastic posters with "sweet" posters, or younger with older, or more conservative with very liberal, cynical and optimistic... whatever would be interesting. I haven't been on this board for that long but I can see something random like Cruel_Sandwich/DancingQueen/AbbaRabbit/TheatreDiva. I like reading all of their posts and they all seem VERY different yet very knowledgable.

Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:05pmSupMom - I have all the scripts from Mr. Allen's shows - it was one of my favorites.
#12re: 'Meeting of the Minds' BWW posters style
Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:13pmDG- you are so lucky to have all of Steve's scripts. He was a brilliant man. My son is a history buff and he would love Meeting of the Minds. It was such an intelligent show and you learned so much watching it. Jayne Meadows was a frequent guest and she was always great. I wonder if there are any accessible videos/dvd's of this program?

I can't believe I've never heard of this! The horror! It sounds like a really fascinating idea.
As for who I'd choose...you're all strong personalities to me. I think any combination would prove entertaining.

Best12- An older and wiser examination of the material covered and presented with class
PalJoey- For reasons listed under Best, he holds a broad scope of information I'm sure
Munk- To add a younger perspective and make drama with strong assessments and a different take
SweetQ- You need to get some viewers and she will definitely be the Rosie of the mix.

Cruel_Sandwich to bring up random topics (vintage Debbie M.)
Margo Channing for insight, as people have mentioned (Barbara on a good day)
Best12Bars, for that dry sense of humor (What Joy should have been)
And Tazber, just because. (A little eye candy never hurt anyone)

Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:49pmI think Lizzie Curry needs ot be included in this, just for humour.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
#19re: 'Meeting of the Minds' BWW posters style
Posted: 7/4/07 at 11:54pmThe concept is too huge for me to wrap my little brain around, but I would definitely want LizzieCurry involved in any meeting of BWW minds.

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:25amYou definitely need Boobs at the table...smart, funny, and oh-so-nice!
#21re: 'Meeting of the Minds' BWW posters style
Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:29amWell, I'm done thinking. I don't think I read enough threads to put together the proper foursome so I'll leave it to youse guys.

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:33amJane2, It's too big a concept for me to think about, either.

Posted: 7/5/07 at 12:40amI'm going to need to REALLY think hard about this two, but I would pay money to see Jersey Girl's line up.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.
