First off, hullo to the new people from the Classic Who Friending Meme!

I've been really busy the last three weeks with a lot of theatre stuff, and thus no updates. I have been running costumes for the student production of Time and the Conways (J. B. Priestly, 1937). It is about an English family's hopes and loves at the end of WWI and a ( Read more... )

Whee, this is a catch-up post full of all sorts of delicious things, like theatre, presidents, and recipes!

First of all, I have thinky and analytical thoughts on Frost/Nixon and Doubt at my theatre blog, surabaya_johnny, HERE. Film adaptations of plays totally count if I say they do! I'd love to discuss them with you guys if you've seen 'em ( Read more... )

Amy: Awesome, I have two, maybe three theatre classes with you next quarter, Rebecca!

Rebecca: Yeah, but you know what happens when we decide not to PAY the rent, ( Read more... )

Julie Taymor + U2+ Marvel Comics= SPIDERMAN, THE MUSICAL. Bitch, please. I admire Julie Taymor for her innovation and success as the first woman to win the Director of a Musical Tony award. But I dislike her style, even though I understand what elements she takes from bunraku and wayang kulit, what they mean in those cultures, and why she does ( Read more... )

Walking on campus the other day, I saw a group of people with flyers: "IMPEACH CHENEY FIRST!" As I passed, I heard one of the "activists" talking to a student and the following phrase jumped out at me: "...is like when Hitler..."

To which I thought: "Godwin's law. You lose."
