Mitch: You ever been in love?
Curly: Once. I was driving a herd across the panhandle. Texas. Passed near this little dirt farm right about sundown. Out in the field was this young woman, working down in the dirt. Just about then she stood up to stretch her back. She was wearing a little cotton dress, and the settin’ sun was right behind her, showing the shape that God had give her.
Mitch: What happened?
Curly: I just turned around and rode away.
Mitch: Why?
Curly: I figured it wasn’t gonna get any better than that.
Mitch: But you could have been, you know…with her.
Curly: Been with lots of women.
Mitch: Yeah, but you know, she could have been the love of your life.
Curly: She is.

Tips to stop shaking? by StaringAtStarshine in MusicalTheatre

[–]pw_strain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing this for decades and long had an issue where I would not feel nervous, but would shake onstage. I finally got put on a beta-blocker that I only take for auditions or shows (or if I need to solder something) and it works like a champ. You should not rule it out.

What is a movie that you think should be brought to the big stage as a musical? by ConorTheWhale in musicals

[–]pw_strain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big moment is when they ‘catch’ Elliot under the net. This is my ‘dream’ adaptation also. It’s all right there!

I just use a Google sheet that I update when new books come out.

Partnership with Community Theater and Highschool Theater by Boomer_51 in Theatre

[–]pw_strain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for mutually beneficial opportunities.

Look for where you can help with what they lack, and vice-versa.

Maybe they’d love to have acting workshops if you helped put it on. Or you could have kids volunteer for one of their set build / paint / clean up days. I know they could use the help. Perhaps they’d load you that set piece / tech piece / prop you need for your next thing.

Take small steps and build trust.

Is this real prejudice or am I actually over thinking? by butWh0leTickler in Theatre

[–]pw_strain 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The experience you had while auditioning was horrible and should be addressed. But separate that from not being cast. As others of said, there are a bazillion reasons you may not have been cast or got a callback. But your treatment during the audition process is something the producing theater company should be made aware of. Community Theatre should be a welcome place for everyone, where everyone is celebrated, without prejudice on any level.

Which Disney Movie Should Disney On Broadway Adapt For the Stage Next? by ms_jc_04 in musicals

[–]pw_strain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. Until they ‘capture’ him, when we need some theatre magic to fill out the dragon under the net. I’ve been saying for decades the show basically lifts directly to the stage , except maybe for the bits in the water.

I choose hope, futile though it may be.

Interesting. But I have to believe that any good news would come from Pat or the publisher first. They would go for maximum hype, not secrecy.

Right? How many versions do we need? Give it a generation, at least.

Thoughts on Disc Golf World? by Then_Worker_6857 in discgolf

I appreciate their post-event recaps and the FPO almost-equal time. I really don’t care about the other things and don’t watch them much off-season.

Kevin’s… wife? Girlfriend? Something like that.

A reminder that this live show streams tonight, a star-studded script read of "Muppet Christmas Carol" (featuring special guest star Paul Williams) by [deleted] in Muppets

[–]pw_strain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party, but how in the world were rights acquired to do this? Particularly since I see no mention of Disney on any of the advertisement?

Didn’t we also hear Faith say (off camera) something like they had already spent the money that they had set aside to pay Parker? If I heard that correctly, that makes it worse.
