WHO SHOULD YOU FIGHT TECH EDITION

someone requested so here we go

lighting designers: like yeah you could try to fight them but they’d probs just blind you and then kick your ass while you’re trying to reorient 4/10 would not advise

stage managers: buddy. pal. please. SMs are the reason your sorry ass gets anything done and we all know it. sure maybe you could win but then your life will fall apart and you’ll be sad 0/10 terrible idea

costume designers: i mean if they have their shears with them avoid but otherwise they tend to be pretty easy to fight. your call man 6/10 possibility of success

makeup designers: why would u want to fight makeup designers???? they just wanna make u look awesome and scary let them live. plus they’d probably murder you when you don’t see it coming

fly crew: like you could try but they’d probably just bound away into the sky like fucking deer or something only attempt if you have wings

sound designers: like i wanna say we could kick your asses but in all honesty what are we gonna do? throw a speaker at you? no those are heavy and cost more than your student loans we’d just yell until you gave up tbh

fight choreographers: like do i even need to explain why this is a terrible idea. they have fight in their name they’ll kick your ass into next tuesday and make it part of the warmup

set designer: ok i have a grudge against a lot of set designers but also have you seen their equipment. do not i repeat do NOT take them on on their own turf. corner them in a parking lot or something

propsmaster: man they can turn anything into anything else who knows how many weapons they’ve got on them. on the other hand if you distract them with a challenge they will likely be pretty easy to subdue

dramaturg: history nerd to the max kick their bookloving ass if they deserve it they can’t fight back they’re not history BUFFS or anything amirite

my favorite scene in the whole tv history

lamboocalrissian-deactivated202

the only sad thing about this scene being in picture form is that you can’t hear the way Garcia says “Quantico”. Kwan-tee-co.

theatre things that remind me of the hogwarts houses

gryffindor: auditioning for the first time, being alone on stage, long choreography rehearsals, the adrenaline of opening night, designing the set on the grid, hauling furniture onto the set, cue to cues, writing a play, improv comedy, waiting at the stage door after a show.

hufflepuff: getting flowers and gifts backstage, taking the final curtain call, highlighting lines, bringing snacks to rehearsal, read-throughs, pulling costumes from stock, set dressing, paint swatches, warm lighting design, perfectly blended sound, directing, waking into a theater you’ve never been in before.

ravenclaw: character analysis, memorizing lines, learning tight harmonies, having the show become second nature, stage makeup, set construction, costume fittings, mic checks, organized prop tables, writing cues, stage managing, experimental theatre, saving old playbills and ticket stubs.

slytherin: callbacks, practicing after rehearsal, selling program ads, an understudy/swing going on for the first time, fight calls, strike, production meetings, late night paint calls, cool-toned lighting design, spiking the stage, fly rails, producing, watching a bootleg, playbill giveaways.

get to know me meme: [4/-] favourite historical couples ELEANOR OF AQUITAINE & KING HENRY II

Two more strong-minded, forceful and determined people could hardly have been matched. Eleanor, who was about thirty, had already been queen of France for fifteen years through her first marriage and by her second she would soon be queen of England. Daughter and heiress of William X, Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitou, she was beautiful, wanton, capricious, sophisticated, highly intelligent and accustomed to having her own way. Henry was nineteen years old, bull-necked, stocky and freckled, a man of electric energy and ferocious impatience, compelling charm and an ungovernable temper.

Over the next twelve years Eleanor bore Henry five sons and three daughters. Two of their sons, Richard and John, would be kings of England. She played a prominent part in government and a patron’s role in the development of both troubadour poetry and the Arthurian legends. Not surprisingly, her life with Henry was stormy. She may well have encouraged her sons to rebel against their father in 1173 and after that he kept her penned up as a prisoner in England until he died in 1189. Under both Richard and John she was active in matters of state and she died eventually in a nunnery at Fontrevault in Anjou in her early eighties in 1204, having been for much of a lifetime probably the most powerful woman in Europe.

Also, you can argue that three of her sons were kings, Prince Hal was crowned in his father’s lifetime and known as the young King though his father ultimately outlived him.

If you think about it, these two shows have some thematic similarities.

things that dont break people’s suspension of disbelief:

magic powers that allow you to lift shit

laser swords

small teddy bears defeating a galactic empire

a boy with minimal skill destroying a super weapon that the predominant galactic force just happened to make with one glaring weakness

a space slug having any concept of human sexuality and wanting to put a human woman in a bikini

a man burned to a crisp in lava surviving and being put in a working environment suit

lightspeed travel

a small green thing being the most formidable warrior and thinker in the galaxy

a walking, talking bear thing that can somehow be understood by humans despite only speaking in growls

most beings in a giant galaxy speaking one language with humans being the dominant species

a 94 year old spaceship working just fine

a floating city above a gas giant

a boy surviving a giant fall and hanging on a random antenna after having his hand severed

the entire galaxy revolving around one family in which the three most important characters are inexplicably related

several planets with a singular biome

things that do break peoples suspension of disbelief

a girl being skilled at multiple things despite spending her whole life finding ways to survive in the face of extreme hardship

OPEN CASTING CALL FOR ACTORS TO PLAY SIXTH FORM AGED STUDENTS.

IRON THE GRASS PRODUCTIONS is staging another production of their play, THE COUNCIL. They are looking for four boys and four girls and are holding open auditions at BESPOKE on QUEEN STREET in HULL (near Waterstones, please ask us for directions if unsure) from 7PM to 9PM on TUESDAY 5TH JULY.

THE COUNCIL is a critique of the modern education system. It tells the story of seven students on a school council who felt so angry that they staged a protest in their school, with disastrous consequences. This is prompted by the suicide of their friend, Cathy, who’s death many of them blame on the system itself and its instigators. It’s a drama with moments of light and wit.

For the AUDITION, we recommend that actors prepare to read two parts though this is not essential. Actors are not required to know lines off by heart and there will be script samples at the location and some opportunity to familiarize yourself with the material, though preparation in advance is appreciated. AUDITION SIDES and CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS are attached to this post.

The production will be performed in late August. Rehearsals will be one or two evenings a week (likely Tuesdays and Thursdays but if that is an issue, please let us know). We understand that holidays may already be booked or planned, providing we know well enough in advance, in order to plan rehearsals, this will not be an issue.

IRON THE GRASS PRODUCTIONS is a semi-professional company, aiming to put on professional level productions but is currently unable to pay its actors in anything more than experience. Though in the future, who knows!

Please CONTACT US with any queries, about anything to do with THE COUNCIL or IRON THE GRASS PRODUCTIONS, including any worries about the audition.

We are supported by @BB.

What I love about this picture is that it looks like Angelica has just crashed this party like “surprise bitch” but none of them look even mildly surprised.

it’s funny how the musical that won best musical right after fun home doesn’t even pass the bechdel test

raven-flighton

I think it does, only just, but it does. Because in the the first verse of The Schuyler Sisters, Peggy, Angelica and Eliza do in some way talk about the upcoming war and New York city. Admittedly they also talk about what they’re looking for in men but often what they’re actually talking about is the ideas rather than the men. Nevertheless I see your point.
