Theatre Source

Your #1 source for finding everything theatre under the spotlight. Here you can search for a show, pine over a performer, ask questions about anything theatrical, and even find out a little bit about me. Every post is tagged by show or by performer, sometimes both. Occasionally there will be a meme thrown in the mix, something that any thespian or theatre-goer can appreciate! Feel free to message me with questions, concerns, or just to say hello!

Harold Perrinneau is the only person to ever play Mercutio like, truly, its amazing

[note-a-bear]

Look at Harold perrineau, inventing Shakespearean acting. Amazing.

[prokopetz]

Hold up.

Is he wearing heelies in this scene?

This film came out in 1996.

Heelies were first produced in 1999.

Where the hell did he get those shoes?

Harold Perrineau confirmed for time traveler. He first played Mercutio in 1597 and he was just biding his time, waiting for the perfect medium to shine again.

honestly I wish I could dedicate myself to being a giant fucking inconvenience as much as the phantom of the opera did

[inkandcayenne]

#i’m not sure that i am capable of being annoying enough#for people to give me a good monthly salary and free theater tickets to get me to stop#but by god i am willing to make the effort

Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often appreciated in retrospect. It’s only later that you place it in perspective. Years from now, I’ll look back and say, “God, wasn’t it wonderful?” (1965)

“Haled is ostensibly telling Papi how not to melt down around women, but he’s telling us all that we’re all raindrops in the same puddle. Sufi poetry is filled with longing love-songs that sound earthly, even carnal, but are really pointing at union with God. The Song of Solomon from the Torah has that same quality. Haled probably doesn’t know it yet, perhaps he’s too young, but he’s connected to a deep truth about both kinds of Love.”

Saddest musical lyrics

“You pretend to create and observe when you really detatch from feeling alive” / “Perhaps it’s because I’m the one of us to survive!”

“You can keep me in the dark, Hell its all I’ve ever known”

“I am the one who loved you, I am the one who cried, I am the one who watched while you died”

“Those weeks full of joy, then a moment of dread, Someone simply said, Your child is…”

“I’d rather pretend there’s something better than these broken parts, pretend I’m something better than this mess that I am”

“Here they sang about tomorrow and tomorrow never came”

“Did you see them lying side by side, someone used to cradle them and kiss them when they cried”

“If I could trade his life for mine, He’d be standing here right now, And you would smile, and that would be enough”

“Why am I the witness, And when I capture it on film, Will it mean that it’s the end? And I’m alone”

“History obliterates, in every picture it paints, It paints me and all my mistakes, When Alexander aimed at the sky, He may have been the first one to die, But I’m the one who paid for it”

“I will never forget how you sat up and said, ‘Is there another truck coming to our driveway? A truck that will take mommy away’”

“Everything felt fine when I was half of a pair, Now through no fault of mine, there’s no other half there”

“You wonder which is worse, the symptoms or the cure”

“And rain will make the flowers…”

Two!

Four!

Six!

Who do we appreciate?!

Every single person involved in a theater production, not just the main stars becuase without the ensemble, stage/tech crew, orchestra, directors, choreographers, costume designers, and make up artists there would be no show!!!!
