Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Theater.
You all know it, or know of it (I hope). For those of you who don't, it is the oldest known practice of performing arts as invented by the Greeks over 4000 years ago as an excuse for them to bugger one another (and little boys, of course!) in amphitheaters without the rest of their fellow citizens cutting off their heads and casting their corpses into the ocean. Little has changed. But enough about ancient Mediterranean pederasts. Lets talk about theater as it pertains to us today, in the (mostly) non-pederast world.
As some of you undoubtedly know, I myself am a Theatre* major. This means I immerse myself in this world 24/7 by my own free will. On some days, I question myself for doing this. Every day of these past two weeks has been one of those days. Since roughly the beginning of August, I've been the principal technical director on my school's production of Actor!, a play by Frederick Stroppel. My job has primarily consisted of designing and constructing the set, building certain props, and hauling shit for the production from our off campus storage site. Over the last few days we've kicked things into overdrive, and are now focusing on finalizing every aspect of the production before it opens on Friday.
We haven't even finished building the set all the way, yet.
Needless to say, things in my life have been stressful. I've even found myself in a place where I'm unjustifiably lashing out at my loved ones, and the academic year only just started on Monday. I can no doubt look forward to another nine glorious months of this before I venture forth into the real world to pursue this shit full time (god help me).
So what about you, SE++? What are your experiences with theater? Are they as frustrating and tiring as my own? Are they not? Are they anything? Come, sit by the fire and tell me your stories. But don't stay too long; you might find yourself unable to leave, if you do.

But theater majors are the fucking worst.
Also I've seen a few shows. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever or whatever that thing is... not many edgy plays in the Cheyenne theatre scene.
I am backing this statement up all the way.
The fucking worst.

Hey. Hey. I was NOT the most attractive young boy in that production by any stretch of the imagination.

Bogey and I went to see Pagliacci together last year and he totally didn't put out
Edit: Haha, he deleted his post.
I've been told that I am quite the ass
Gotcha.
I need to go more often, really
I always love seeing what they manage to do with the sets, too. I sometimes think it would've been fun to be a set designer (I have no idea if they are pretentious).
I've rarely seen a very bad production, and I've seen some which have surprised me (an adaptation of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, a children's book; I couldn't imagine how they would turn it into a play but it was excellent).
This is my opinion too!
Yep.
Also because my school is such a theatre school a large percentage of my friends are actors of some variety. Which makes for interesting times.
I go out to restaurants and leave 15 to 20% gratuities.
So, like I'm pretty much an actor now.
We know because you remind us of it every ten fuck seconds.

Theater is awesome, though. As long as the actors aren't dicks, the production is fantastic. However, dickiness has a habit of showing up in an actor's performance, and that makes me hate it sometimes.
