I was props master for The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprise! I've got lots of fun behind the scenes stuff to share, gonna start with one of my favorite things I did for the show--painting this portrait đ€Ł
Lauren directed Will to pose, and I snapped this reference pic on my phone (post rehearsal, which is why he's only got the jacket and wig on).
Here's a few progress snapshots from my Clip Studio Paint file! I mostly used the default gouache brush to make it feel like a real oil painting!
Took me about 10 hours spread out over a couple days to paint, and then our scenic designer Colin printed it up and built that beautiful frame!!
Original idea was to have him holding his beloved assistant Alexa, but Lauren eventually decided it would telegraph the joke too early in the scene so I painted it out.
And there it is on set!! (That's also my own actual keyboard đ When Will says "MUSICAL THEATER" I'm the person rolling the piano on stage đ€Ł)
Thank you everyone for supporting the show, and i hope you enjoy the pro-shot on youtube!
I'll post more bts stuff here and there! I'm also going to do a twitch watch through of the proshot with Assistant Props Master Mari to discuss everything we did for the show!
this is like not important to anyone at all but in the live version of the TGWDLM reprise that i saw during the scene where Macnamara throws Paul's phone, Jeff actually threw it straight at the floor and had to pick it up and throw it again

"making them afraid will make them more racist" that's wild to me, because we live in a whole culture of social consequences for antiracism anyway. It is literally safer to be a racist than it is to speak up against it, socially.
Idk about you, but "I'm afraid no one will want to be my friend if I'm a white supremacist" seems like a pretty logical thought process to have, and I wish THAT were the normal and not "I'm afraid my friends will hate me if I tell them they made racist jokes".
I had a more intellectual answer for you, but tbh... Then I guess they'll find out. And when they do, they have two options: apologize and actively commit to doing better, or understand that they are choosing racism and will be treated as such. Because the society we live in, somehow option number 2 is the easier route due to a lack of social consequences for being a bigot. I don't think choosing to be a bigot should be the easier route. It should suck to be a racist.
You may not know this, but July is also a form of pride month, but for disabled folk! It's far less celebrated and well known, so let's change that!! Happy disability pride month, everyone!
I'm going to update this list as I post more. So make sure to check periodically!
