♕ |[46]| The poems made on their chivalric bones

[Slipped between the pages of Todd's current poetry notebook]

I almost wonder if it's too soon, after everything last month... if that's even over, I know they never found... well. Maybe we should just be grateful for the time we have, after all, this is what passes for a quiet month so far.

Who knows how long that will last.

With everything that went on last month I'm afraid I've gotten rather behind on trying to recruit for our next play... But I suppose there's no time like the present to pick up where we left off. For anyone who hadn't heard about it, or who wasn't here last time I spoke about it-- We'll be putting on a production of Oscar Wilde's

The Importance of Being Earnest.

Right now, we haven't quite sorted out the roles but we have Rosella, Cain, and myself; and I believe Justin was going to help out as crew. But! As you can see, that means we're still in need of more, both on stage and backstage. Anyone's welcome who'd like to take part-- whether you've ever been in a play or not, we're happy to have you, so just... let me know!

I would really love to be involved. I'd like to have a role but if not I think I could be helpful as crew. It could be that the type of theater I'm used to is very different than this, but I suspect not, and I was practically raised in a theater.

Would you...need a set builder?

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

You're very much in need of more of a cast.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

I'd still like to work backstage. When do you plan on performing?

[ooc: P.S. If y'all need to rope anyone else into this, Penny can't say no to anyone ever.]

[had_not_lived]

Really? Well, if you've got experience that would be really great, and so far I don't think there's too much competition for roles! If you've never read the play I'd be happy to loan you a copy of it.

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, let's see, there are nine roles, and three of us signed up to act, which means we're a third of the way to a full cast. So I do think we're well on our way, but we're going to need a few more people to fill parts, yes.

[had_not_lived]

Well, I suppose we will-- so far we haven't picked a place, just yet, and in the past we've done... well, rather minimal work on the sets, just because it's a volunteer effort, you know. But if you're interested, if you're willing, I'm sure we'll have some work to be done.

[had_not_lived]

I know. Well, we haven't decided on a date so we do have time, and I haven't really been doing much to recruit. Last month was just so... overwhelming, with people going missing and all that.

[had_not_lived]

I'm not sure, really-- it'll depend on how quickly we can fill all the roles, how much help people need learning their lines, that sort of thing.

No chance I could convince you to be in the play, Justin?

[ooc; /keeps this in mind >3]

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I suppose you do have quite a bit of time between now and whenever you do decide to put on the play, yes. Still, it would be good to assemble the cast.

[had_not_lived]

I don't think it's going badly, considering how little we've really spoken about it on the Network.

Have you decided on which role you'd like to play, yet?

[perspectiveguy.livejournal.com]

Barring a 24/7 job I haven't gotten yet? It'd be a nice thing to do. You know, volunteering, doing something with my time. I have construction experience. But, not really...set building? Can't be that hard, can it?

[had_not_lived]

I'm working on it!

Have you had any thoughts on who you'd like to play, Cain?

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

You could convince me.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

That's a good choice. I look forward to seeing it.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I thought I'd said that I'd leave that in your hands. You've more experience with these things than I have.

voice

[had_not_lived]

I don't imagine it would be. Once we have a better idea of where and when we're going to put this on, I'll let you know-- in the meantime, you might want to read the play if you haven't and think about what we might be able to manage for scenery?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Well, if there's one lesson we all learn quickly around here, it's the importance of being flexible, as well as earnest.

And, er, I've gone over it a few times, and I think I'd like to try my hand at Gwendolen! She seems like a fun role to try.

[had_not_lived]

Well, you never know when inspiration might strike. I haven't really decided, either.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

If a particular role strikes me, then, before you make your decision, I shall be certain to send you word.

[had_not_lived]

Well, so far we've only filled two of the five male roles, and I'm not even certain which ones.

[no-defender.livejournal.com]

Not a great deal of experience actually doing anything other than helping put on little drawing-room productions with friends. I did, however, spend plenty of time observing, asking lots of annoying questions, and generally being underfoot. My mother was an actress.

It would be great if you could lend me your copy--I've definitely never read it. I'm Alester Siddons, by the way.

[ooc: Alester is going to love Wilde.]

[had_not_lived]

I do think that's one of the benefits of life in the City. Learning to prepare for the unexpected.

Excellent! I'll make a note of it.

[had_not_lived]

We'll make sure to let everyone know, once we pick a date for the performance!

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I'll watch for that.
