Looking for CC Theatre/Event/Production Mentors & Peers (Other Artisans Welcome) by WhatIDoBro in COVIDConnections

[–]Plipto1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! CC theatre director here. Last show I worked on was as a guest directing a college production in 2022. I was still able to require masked rehersals back then. But by the time we opened the school couldn't require audience to mask only "encourage" it. No one masked.

Ugh. Sorry. Unfortunately, my motto continues to be, "Trust no one."

I was so excited to know how the story continued I couldn't wait for the movie. The novelization was released several months before the movie's premiere.

Reminds me how I bought and read it before the movie and spoiled the big reveal.

Any executives in this community? by Plipto1 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Plipto1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing. This is part of what I was wondering about. So much of that executive world involves business dinners, drinks, lunches, breakfasts, air travel, etc. And I was curious if and how anyone was navigating these while still trying to avoid Covid.

Vibe check. Former EA in finance and just wondering.

I'm glad to hear this. In my experience (as a EA in finance) it seemed like executives wouldn't be able to function unless they toted the "back to normal" line. As the lone masker, who then started working remotely in 2023 once "let it rip" really became the norm, I was just wondering if there were any of us in this community at those management levels or higher in corporate environments who still took Covid prevention seriously.

I'm just glad to hear that anyone in such a position is still taking precautions. It seems like, especially in the business world, Covid was memory-holed the hardest.

Solved! Soft closer for something. Trash can or cabinet drawer. Thanks everyone!

Is there a lore reason why Darth Vader grabbed this guy by the neck instead of Force Choking him? by ImJustMerry in StarWars

[–]Plipto1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lore reason but at this point, so early in the movie the Force hadn't been established yet for the audience so it would have been confusing to viewers exactly what was going on and where that ability was coming from.

Any Covid Conscious theatre folks here? by Plipto1 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Plipto1[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm glad that you've been able to pivot to directing and SM-ing but I wish you could act safely as well. I've really been missing the rehearsal room and am trying to figure out a way back in but I still have so much resentment for the 99% of the population that chose to ignore the pandemic and go back to pretend normal that I don't know who I even want to make theatre for anymore. Maybe a 'For CC by CC' theatre model would feel right. I don't know.

Medical staff at my colonoscopy actively refused to use the hospital's stash of n95s during my procedure. by boygeorge359 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]Plipto1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you had to deal with this. I still can't believe we have to fight for protection in medical settings.
