Anyone else have a similar feeling?

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.

The real fun happens off the boards.

I was wondering the same thing.

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

Every one of us gets immature at times.

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?

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

Remember when Ethel Merman posted that Rosalind Russell was a fvcking cvnt and everybody got banned?

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 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...
