We need:

If you can’t get involved, we totally get it, but SIGNAL BOOST so others can join the team!

So I was looking at this gifset I made and… The Buttons troll’s box totally says ‘Coraline & co.’!

Hello from the Inconceivable Theater Company! We are an independent, tight-knit group of young students (approximately ages 13-21) who all share the love of theater. Most of us are currently in high school at MMU in Vermont, tied together through the theatre department there and by long-time friendships. We were founded in 2014 to produce a stage adaptation of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”. This summer we’re producing Stephin Merritt and David Greenspan’s “Coraline the Musical”, which follows a young girl who is bored in her new house, and finds a new universe. It’s going to be an amazing project, even bigger than the last, and we’re all incredibly excited, so please help us achieve this goal.  All the money from this fundraiser will be going to building sets and paying for our space rental in Burlington. All profits from the show will be donated to the Our Community Cares Camp. We’d like to be fully-funded by July.  This means so much to us because it’s so rare for teenagers to have the opportunity to work entirely with their peers, and it provides an outlet for artists for whom other local theatre groups may be too far away or otherwise inconvenient. The Inconceivable Theatre Company wants to encourage theatrical creativity above all else.  Please help us make this dream a reality once more.

Happy birthday, Coraline! February 6th, 2009.

Makin’ up a song about Coraline! She’s a peach, she’s a doll, she’s a pal of mine!

She’s as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline!

When she comes around exploring Mom and I will never, ever make it boring! Our eyes will be on Coraline!

The relationship between the creators and the puppets is a complicated one. Looking at it from the puppets point of view, you might imagine they have an inner life and they live in their world and everything that happens outside goes so quickly relative to the speed they live that they can’t really see it. We might be caught in the corner of their eye as something sort of flitting by much faster than a humming bird. They might feel fingers sort of touching them at times. They might have an uncomfortable sense of being confined, being controlled. If you were a puppet and you were aware, you’d have to enjoy the process of getting endless attention or you wouldn’t cut it as a puppet actor in one of the films.

Coraline is my all time fave movie. (That, and Fantastic Mr. Fox)
