BLANK VERSE FAN CHALLENGE| 10 QUOTES

“It’s weird. Wanting to be somebody else. Wishing you had their experiences instead of your own: their way of expressing themselves, their childhood, their life. You kind of start to feel like an imposter. Maybe that’s what depression actually is?"

-Ben Jonson, Ben's Vlog #6: Hell is Just a Frame of Mind [8/10]

Just a lil photo from our performance of As You Like It: Hogwarts Edition on Thursday...

...and also a plea for your votes to help us advance to the next round of Comedy Coup!

So guess  what we are doing tomorrow? Just drawing a random play from the entire Shakespeare canon, then performing it eight hours later. No big.

If you are in Vancouver you should probably come check us out- Free entry, plus Xander, Emma, Claire, Candace, and Nate all playing randomly cast characters in who-knows-what play! You could see Marlow!Hamlet, or Henry!Ophelia, or even Will!Bottom. If you're not in Vancouver, you can still mess with us from afar- we are ALSO drawing a random location and time to set our play in- we are taking suggestions until 11amPST Check it out- it's gonna be weird! Shakesweird!

Xander would like to remind you to vote on the Comedy Coup website for more Blank Verse.

Xe Returns

So the Vancouver School Board has made official the gender neutral pronouns xe, xem, and xyr.

This has made writing the new pilot of Blank Verse very easy for me, as during Season 1 used a lot of “s/he” and “their” which bug the hell out of me.

So, as Webster has not yet been cast, xe remains genderless (and thus far exhibiting no sexual preference) (spoilers?) so what I’m basically saying is go to http://comedycoup.cbc.ca/blankversemidsummer if this kind of writing process is one you want to encourage in the world of television.

If this becomes a thing, it’s gonna become a pretty rad thing.
