DO YOU FUCK HER IN THE ASS

A play about what it means to live in this world and love God. 

Favorite quote "well the evil ain't in the drum, Sister Rice, nor yet in the trumpet. The evil is in what folks do with it and what it leads them to. Ain't no harm in praising the Lord with anything you get in your hands."

How to Choose a Good Play?

If cinema is factory-made bread that is food for the soul, theater is bread that is fresh out of an oven in a bakery. The actors are right there in front of you in person, and even the music and sound effects are sometimes performed live. While I love watching movies, I never miss an opportunity to catch a good play whenever I can.

1. Try to avoid experimental theater

One of the things I learned the hard way about choosing a play was never to go in for a play that is termed "experimental." This will usually translate into something weird which will not amount to an enjoyable performance. There are well-known theater troupes that dabble in this sort of thing and it is better to skip them.

2. International theater festivals are always a good bet

Another way to choose good plays is to choose the ones at international cultural centers such as the Alliance Francaise in Bangalore.

3. Keep an eye out for cultural fests to choose a good play

There used to be an annual arts and culture festival called Bengaluru Habba which I haven't heard of this past year. Nevertheless, art and culture gatherings will definitely have great plays for audiences to enjoy and celebrate.

4. Opt for reasonably priced plays

Never select a play whose ticket price is higher than the cost of a blockbuster 3D movie in a multiplex. Unless the play is a critically acclaimed production, a play that costs way more than an expensive movie ticket isn't worth it. I myself have been to a few plays where the tickets were pricey and the play was either boring or really bad.

5. Choose plays in your regional language when you can.

Regional theater is almost always bound to be good and priced reasonably as well. The plays I watched at H N Kalakshetra, Malleshwaram Seva Sadan in Bangalore, and Rangayana in Mysore were really good. Non-regional plays are most times priced higher and the chances of going to a bad one are higher.

6. Choose good productions and directors

One way to tell if a play is good is if it people behind it come from renowned theater backgrounds. For example in India, the National School of Drama is well known for its famous alumni from Anupam Kher to Neena Gupta. Rangayana in Mysore founded by acclaimed playwright B V Karanth has produced exceptional talent since its inception.

I just had the most sick nasty Winston play... Our soldier got hooked by their hog and I immediately jumped after him, threw down a bubble shield at the perfect distance so that soldier was inside and hog was outside thus saving our poor old man. Feels very good man.

Hearthstone

I'm making a call out to anyone that plays Hearthstone. I'm looking to improve my play. It'd be pretty dope to get a test group together. Especially as seeing that none of my friends around here play.

I can’t stop thinking about King Charles III.  I went ahead and bought the script.

LIKE.  Who knew I could hate and feel so sorry for Charles all at once?  Bumbling Camilla.  And the best... Kate Middleton going all Lady Macbeth on England.

I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN.  I need someone to talk about it with.
