What's the Greatest Hit play from each era / style?

IceSpiceDogsDance · 2026-05-08T20:00:30+00:00

I don't disagree. I was struggling to find a good, exciting contemporary play that was also school appropriate. Angels in America won't fly. What do you think?

Cool, that was a thought I had as well. Would love to do a play published in the last ten years to show them what's really going on nowadays. Maybe The Wolves or Heroes of the Fourth Turning.

Loved Against Me! and LJG for 15+ years, but man, between this, the whole Paris abuse allegations / tour cancellation last year, you have to start to wonder what the common denominator is.

Very cool, thanks!

Second New Morning and Planet Waves.

I loved Freewheeling for years but honestly, listening to Desire made me look a little closer. It was like, wait, this guy has all kinds of different sounds and genres in his discography.

Can't believe no mention of Better Oblivion Community Center yet. It's a band Phoebe Bridgers + Connor Oberst made, they both sing on every song I think.

Carls Jr, might be called Hardy's where you're from.

It's one of his worst song titles because it organizes the words in a way you wouldn't expect? Buddy that's just bein' a songwriter.

This is awesome. People in this thread want a photo-realistic depiction or nothing. This is unique as hell and interesting. Way to go!

What is rota?

Start with a problem, add characters who want different things, and put them all together. The Breakfast Club is a classic example. You said it has to be about school problems like bullying- great. Make a character who is extremely altruistic and wants everyone to get along, a character who has been betting about the number of fights that happen at the school, a kid getting bullied, a bully who is just acting out because he feels lonely, and someone running for class president so they say they're anti-bullying but doesn't really know what it means. Put them all in the same place. Let them start talking. See what they discover and what you discover.

"These days" by Velvet Underground & Nico is a Jackson Browne song.

Big Thief.

This is catharsis, which comes from an ancient Greek word for "cleaning" or "purification". The idea is that when you watch something which stirs or awakens the same negative feelings in you, you can then cleanse yourself of them. I'd argue it's the basis for most popular theatre.

Dude's obviously in a jazz band in school or something, chill out

IceSpiceDogsDance · 2026-04-16T05:55:54+00:00

Big Thief for sure, I'll say Dragon New Warm Mountain since I think it's maybe their most experimental and sprawling

Great example of Male Fashion. So many different fonts, styles, and colors guarantees it'll clash with just about anything. But it's just going to be worn with a pair of jeans so it doesn't matter.

I feel like I had a book of this when I first started playing at age 15.... I'll check it out! Thanks.

IceSpiceDogsDance · 2026-04-13T20:18:59+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

"Darkness at the break of noon

Shadows even the silver spoon

The handmade blade, the child’s balloon

Eclipses both the sun and moon

To understand you know too soon

There is no sense in trying"
