But you seem to like swimming in it Jason!

No, don't leave! This has been such an entertaining day.

Y'all, did you know that Jason received a BFA in Acting from Florida State University, having been invited into the program without an audition?

Bio reading can be a delightful hobby.

As crazy as THE MASTER AND MARGARITA, as long as ANNA KARINENA.

mr. bennett--if you consider ms. ripley a friend (even a small one), then the best thing you can do for her is to stop posting. as you yourself stated, by the time you had your first say, she had already apologized and many posters had accepted her apology. by continuing to post you are just dragging the thread out (to the delight of many and distress of others).

it seems you are not too familiar with posting to these types of messageboards. but here's the truth: these internet debates can neither be won nor lost (except in the mind of the posters). take it from someone who's been in way too many.

Jason, I simply don't understand what 80% of your post even had to do with any topic being discussed here. You seem to have an inflated sense of your own importance; this only becomes more obvious the more you post. And I also don't believe that you can make the leap to say that (even if it's true) when people PMed you, those people represent the silent readers. For all you know, the silent readers are even more cynical than all of the people who post, including me (and I'm pretty damn cynical).

PS Jason, have you ever heard the expression, "Those who can't do, teach"? Just curious.

I miss that lady who wanted to play -- nay, knew she would one day play -- Elphaba.

"And I'm certainly not going to be discussing my personal life in this cesspool of sharks and vipers. Not a good idea."

And no one cares.

The reviews are coming in, Jason and it ain't just me. It's not lookin' good, kid.

The work you've done in this thread is reflecting terribly on Alice Ripley. I personally always liked her well enough (though that Tony speech was from some other planet). Even though I have never seen her perform, (like a lot of audience members, I've seen her understudies in every show she should have been in), you Jason, yes YOU, are making me actively dislike her.

Welcome to the theatre, Miss Eve Harrington!

"I miss that lady who wanted to play -- nay, knew she would one day play -- Elphaba."

Thanks for your feedback. I take your suggestions quite seriously. Thanks so much.

I would also consider hiring a proofreader for the website.

Another country, not his own.

Poor delusional Jason. It's funny he would brag about his classes being free of "weird interpersonal drama" when that's all he's brought to this thread.

[Jason Bennett]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:48pm

HAHA, Phyllis, that's hysterical!!! Yes, we have many countries in our school...hahaha....The web site is so massive, I'm sure you can find plenty of typos. And please do send them on, I appreciate your service.

[chellie]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:48pm

I love how they list the actors as being "political" as if that's important to be an actor.

[newintown]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:49pm

Now you've done it. Beware. Did you know that Jason studied miltary (sic) survival and combat training with former Russian Special Forces member Sergei Maslikhov?

[chellie]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:53pm

We "free" your talent. We help you cultivate your own artistic vision and statement. Our work is clear, intense and practical. Our work will empower and "liberate" you.

I "wonder" why there are so many "quotes"?

[tazber]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:54pm

You keep calling us sharks and vipers and yet continue to offer us chum.

You are setting yourself up, practically begging for sarcastic retorts (which we here proudly excel at), and then complaining about it.

I mean, you're like a gift to us. And I for one would like to thank you.

Yes, very Palinesque!

Oh, isntitneurotic...where are you???

[TheatreDiva90016]

"The web site is so massive,"

Much like your self centered ego.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:56pm

Everyone has an inner SWAT team. We use ours to free your talent!

[julesboogie]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:56pm

Ok, and now the conversation has died. Hey Jason i dont know if you intended take the heat off Ripley, but you have definitely succeeded in that. Im just sorry that you now have to suffer. Cant we all just go back to witch hunting...i mean discussing Ripley.

[danmag]

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:56pm

I think we're more like Sharks and Jets.

Posted: 6/9/10 at 3:56pm

Borstal, he's now posting as perpetualconstipation and organizing a fake "thank you" ceremony for the Rip.
