Recently, I Was Ensemble In My Local Shakespeare In The Park's Production Of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

recently, i was ensemble in my local shakespeare in the park's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"

It was a pretty cool setup, despite being in the middle of a park, and the mics came on and off on time with the actors supposed to be on stage.

During tech week, we cut one scene a bit shorter, so the scene after is began a bit earlier.

What resulted was Oberon, who had been talking to Helena about a musician they both enjoyed, coming to the sudden realization that he was supposed to be on stage when Puck (who throughout this debacle played it off incredibly well and it almost seemed intentional) said something along the lines of "I wish Oberon were here" and dashing on stage with an "OH SHIT!!", thoroughly ruining the illusion of intentionality, but making everyone who wasn't micced laugh our heads off and everyone who was do their best to hold in the silent laughter.

That was the only thing that really went wrong in the 6 performances we did, though, so I don't think it's really all that bad, lol

Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”.

I did another one!!! I didn’t check the books to see if it’s inaccurate, (i just wanted to draw this thing while i had the inspiration to do so), but even if it isn’t accurate, i like it. :) If you’re reading this, hi!

bullshitting little kids is so much fun. I was playing popcorn with this little 6 year old on her trampoline, and she fell over and scratched her ear on some junk on the trampoline (you know, the kind that falls off trees and seems to always be there no matter what?) it wasn't anything serious, so I told her I'd fix it with my "big kid powers". she believed it. the susceptibility to the placebo effect and just pure trust found in small children is fuckin wild.
