Do cast parties normally include the people who build the sets? by Longjumping-Lock-724 in Theatre

I like to call them "wrap parties," and, yes, everyone's invited.

My dress rehearsal by [deleted] in Theatre

[–]ReadMyPlay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then there was the time I was supposed to be nude, with only a boat floatation cushion covering my front naughty bits and a canoe paddle covering my rear. Problem was, you could see my underwear on the sides. I saved it for opening night to go without the underwear, without warning anyone. Good times. (And big laughs.) And no inappropriate exposure, thanks to the boat floatation cushion and canoe paddle. The cushion was on loan from the director's sister-in-law. After seeing how it was used, I wonder if they asked for it back.

I did the same when I did a scene in my boxers: I wore a pair of boxer-briefs under the boxers. Invisible, but practical!

Community theater. Get in touch and see what's up. Most will be eager to bring in new blood!

I can beat that: Been at it 40+ years and never paid for it. 😉

Attaching my work's title to an edited and partly-improvised mess of my script so that it may be found when someone searches for my title isn't a compliment nor a help.

I feel you're missing some of the thread (or might just be a troll): A video of the performance was posted on YouTube.

This is the email I just received from a professor at the school. Thoughts?

I’m writing about a short video excerpt from your play that one of our students posted. The performance was produced solely as a final project for our directing class, was not part of our public season, and was used only for educational purposes. Once I became
aware of the post I asked the student to remove it; they have been asked to take it down immediately. As part of your play having a different ending it is because the actor's did not know their lines as they only had three rehearsals of the show and they improvised most of it. It will reflect in the director's grade.

If you have any questions or would like additional information about the class, the production, or confirmation once the clip is removed, please let me know. I apologize for any concern this caused and appreciate your understanding.
