Yeah, you people all suck. Hopefully next season some interesting and intelligent people will sign up here so I can finally have an intelligent conversation about theater.

Well muscle hasn't been posting about how awful Bernardette is in FOLLIES, so it's been quite underwhelming.

With all the new shows we're all just too pre-occupied standing in line for rush tickets unlike last year where all we could do to fill our free time was cut and paste quotes of those who disagreed with us on MEMPHIS. What have we come to? Civility?

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

This message board was better in the 1961-1962 season. God, we had message boards back then.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

That's nothing. The 1599-1600 season had CRAZY message boards. Remember when that sock puppet posting that Shakespeare hadn't written his play that season turned out to be Marlowe?

THAT'S drama.

BUT WHAT DID THE SHOW CURTAIN LOOK LIKE?? DID THEY TAKE A PIC WITH THEIR CAMERAPHONE?????

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

The ushers were so goddamn strict back then. If anyone tried taking a picture they would just... burn the phones.

Shakespeare was well known for his extravagant show curtains- "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" featured a curtain made of pinwheels that rotated in the perpetual breeze of farts from the groundlings, while his first major remounting of "Hamlet" did away with the physical curtain entirely, in favor of a three-man-high human wall of greased-up gay dudes pelvic thrusting left and right in unison.

There were, however, no camera phones back then, so all evidence of these avant-garde show curtains is lost.

OH my lord I remember it most well.

One time...I was locked in the pillory in the square for failing to applaud in iambic pentameter.

It haunts me to this day...
