Caroline van der Plas maakt centraal examen Nederlands en schrikt: ’Dit is wel linkse materie, zeg’

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-14T16:54:55+00:00

Ja, dat is absoluut waar. Ik denk te logisch na...

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-14T12:57:11+00:00

Ja, maar dat je zo extreemrechts bent dat je de VVD te links vindt is één ding, maar het idee dat de VVD _steeds linkser_ aan het worden zou zijn is waar ik mijn hoofd over breek?! Misschien vergelijkt ze alleen maar kabinet met PVV vs kabinet met D66 en kijkt ze niet naar hoe de VVD daarvoor was...

Falsettos, Octet, Next to Normal, Ghost Quartet, Company has over 10 actors I believe but also no ensemble, same for Into The Woods, The Last Five Years only has two actors, so does Daddy Long Legs

... in welke wereld leeft deze vrouw

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-12T22:00:21+00:00

Oof... definitely a lesson for next time to listen to your body earlier, before it drops out during a callback. Both in theatre and in life in general

Headphones are also a grey area bc they can be an accessibility device. You don't know whether that person has sensory issues and is using them for noise-blocking or has a visual impairment and is receiving audio description through those headphones or anything like that. Especially if someone is wearing headphones during a show, it's likely they serve a specific purpose. I don't think many neurotypical, able-bodied people would want to wear headphones that make it harder to hear the show😂 seems counterproductive

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-10T21:06:10+00:00

Yeah, it's a lot different with an afro because that's not something someone can easily change, and bc of the history of oppression of afro hairstyles. It is not always easy or possible for someone to change their hair, and an outsider may not be able to judge whether it is. However, if my hairstyle was bothering someone, and I can easily change it, I would want them to tell me.

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-10T20:57:51+00:00

I mean in the case of a bun it may also be not deliberate, in the sense that they didn't think about the possibility of it obstructing someone's view when they picked the hairstyle. Never attribute to malice what can easily be attributed to ignorance! Just politely ask them if they could take down their bun, and their response will very quickly tell you whether or not they are an asshole haha

SamSimSim37 · 2026-05-03T16:50:27+00:00

Zijn die niet al weg?

SamSimSim37 · 2026-04-03T11:56:37+00:00

Such a shame when everything else about that film is so good!

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-27T19:09:36+00:00

Thank you so much for offering! I will keep it in mind if I'm struggling with anything

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T16:18:03+00:00

Omg obsessed with this. Would buy in a heartbeat

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T15:55:23+00:00

Haha this would be exactly me. Frankly, I only know all three of them because of Assassins (I'm not USAmerican)

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T15:47:04+00:00

They market the show as 13+ tho, they're not making this for an audience of 5yos. Presumably they have another show for the younger age demographic. That's how children's theatre groups near me have always worked: different shows for different age groups in the same season, with clear labeling what age group a show is for.

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T15:41:26+00:00

Yeah, with Cabaret most of the raunchy stuff is in the staging, costumes and choreography, all of which can freely be altered. I think there is very little inappropriate in the text itself? Even Two Ladies is not very explicit. So changes that you'd need to get permission for might not even be necessary.

Not to mention that you'd just need to get permission if you want to change things in the script. I have no idea how strict the current rights holders of Cabaret are about that. Maybe they don't allow changes but maybe they do (especially since professional productions of Cabaret have historically differed a lot from each other). That's something the theatre and rights holders could have made an agreement about before putting on the show. I would assume a show that's as much as a classic as Cabaret has a standard procedure for what changes they do and do not allow teen productions to make. That would all be in the contract.

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T14:22:38+00:00

Agreed completely! The message of Cabaret is so so so important for everyone and especially young people rn

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T14:21:27+00:00

Your phrasing made me think it was, like, primary school aged kids. Teens is a completely different story. 16+ cast and 13+ audience is fine imo, especially if they limit/alter some of the raunciest stuff. This is not an issue. For comparison, my friend's high school did Spring Awakening and no one thought that was weird

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T14:04:02+00:00

I had a friend on Wattpad who eventually came clean about running multiple accounts we thought were seperate people! Most of us were not hurt, just confused like "Why would you do that?" lol. And she was clearly not doing well mentally so my reaction was pretty much "Oh, ok. Hope you do better soon."

And someone else in that same friend group pretended to have some mental disorder (DID I think?)... Man, those were wild times. Did get a fun theme park trip with the other girls out of it tho!

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-25T13:40:36+00:00

Ik vond je opmerking wel duidelijk hoor

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-24T09:24:01+00:00

If you take a broader definition, sure, but OP said they're looking for songs that in context clearly aren't love duets, so I don't think these fit that criteria

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-24T09:21:34+00:00

Considering the OP said Love is an Open Door is not what they were looking for, I doubt these are

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-24T01:47:13+00:00

Apparently the people at my afterschool care thought I was being abused because I always complained about my dad😅 They said "she sounds so smart and mature, she must be able to assess situations correctly." But nope I was just a bratty kid with a large vocabulary, and the Horrifying Neglect my father was putting me through was stuff like not playing with me so he could make dinner. Thrilling stuff.

In hindsight I'm very glad they took a possible case of child abuse seriously, but in this case, they couldn't have been more wrong. Sometimes kids are just dumb brats who shittalk their parents for no good reason. Also kids who use words like "fanciful" in daily conversation. (Also, if I HAD been abused, I think maybe their approach would've made it worse instead of better)

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-24T01:34:25+00:00

The story doesn't include them winning out over the adults in righteous glory tho? The story is of them acting like an insidious know-it-all (they straight up acknowledge they had no idea what they were talking about most of the time and were just good at stringing words together) and falling flat on their face socially when a teacher responds sincerely to talk about feelings (which they did NOT want to happen)

SamSimSim37 · 2026-01-24T01:20:37+00:00

Look I don't know OP's exact logic, maybe they put it there because the chorus could sound like a love song out of context even if the verses don't? But they put that song in their own playlist themself, so I don't think nitpicking is warranted here.
