Check out what I get to see tonight:
Okay, so I attend a small Jesuit university in Kansas City called Rockhurst. So since it's a small campus people see a lot of other people. So I basically know all the theater people, which has meant for the past year that my play-seeing status has been totally racked up on penalty of being hunted down and subjected to a slow, painful and no doubt theatrical death otherwise. But I'm pretty enthusiastic for tonight's production, The Laramie Project. Duh I know what it is, but I've never seen it before, and despite even my roommate playing a dozen most (or all) comic characters in it, the month and a half that's been spent preparing for it I've never even swiped the script from one of my friends to look at it or anything, so tonight will be a completely impressionable experience.
Opening night was actually last night, but most everyone I've talked to, who don't have work, are going tonight just because of the overall atmosphere that'll be present that wasn't last night. This that follows comes from one of my theater friends' Facebook notes, which she in turn ganked from the source itself:
"Rockhurst's Mabee Theater - Maybee y'll repent, probly NOT! 5225 Troost (53rd & Troost) We will picket your filthy, goofy "theatrical production" of the Laramie Project regarding that dumb ass Matthew Sheperd's untimely death. It is wonderful! You make people pay money to come into the theatre, sit down and then get preached to with signs "Matt In Hell" and "God Hates Fags". That is so funny. For more information on this subject, please see our video vignettes at www.signmovies.net. The signs you want to click on to watch the video are: Matt In Hell; Fag Pimp Judy!
"Meanwhile, check out these verses: Am 3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Mark 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
"Kansas City, and all of Missouri (Misery) is in huge trouble. They not only offend God, but they set upon with words and acts of violence (including stealing the property of) the saints of the Living God, the Lord of Hosts. You hypocrites need to stop worrying about dead Matthew Sheperd and worry about yourselves and your own children for God will shortly avenge His people, at the hand of Antichrist Obama, on you and those children. You are in big trouble! AMEN!" http://www.godhatesfags.com/schedule.html"
Yes people, our little Jesuit school has received the attention of the Westboro bunch. They added us to their schedule after receiving an e-mail from a Rockhurst student alerting them that this production was being held. The student's name is Byron, a rather uncommon name, and I wonder when they come if it'll grab their attention that the actor playing the big Phelpsie himself is also a Byron. My silly attention whore roommate! XP
So tonight, a show and a show. If anything interesting happens I'll let you know.
