Title: Re: THE SCREED
Post by: Jrand74 on July 10, 2015, 04:33:50 AM: Thanks to everyone for the HHW vibes. Opening night went very well. The audience was interested and appreciated the show....but I can't say they "liked" it especially....

We lost two people within the first 15 minutes. A local minister and his wife walked out when one of the characters started talking about homosexuality and incest.....even though everything she said is debunked by other characters onstage....and we lost two people at intermission.

Oh well.

When Eric, the editor of the local paper, came to take photos on Monday night, I told him he would probably get letters about the show: People upset about some of the language - Leroy says "bitch" - and there is some drinking in one scene.

They will write in about those things....but no one will say anything about the two murders that Rhoda commits..... You can kill someone, but don't swear or have gin and tonic while you do it!

Post by: ChasSmith on July 10, 2015, 06:21:48 AM: I appreciate that I live in a rarified atmosphere in the community of theaters we have here.

Post by: ChasSmith on July 10, 2015, 06:27:19 AM: TOD

Got a ton of stuff to watch and don't even know where to begin. And speaking of theater, there are suddenly FOUR (count 'em) local things this weekend and next, that I either have to get to in order to support friends, or that I just want to see. Plus, movies I want to go to as well as watch at home.

I guess this wasn't my week to try sleeping.

Great screed. I have done that with my phone and am working on getting better at limiting use of it. I don't use it during performances, etc., except to take photos surreptitiously.

It's amazing how much I have forgotten about The Bad Seed, from cast size to dialogue! The novel was one of my favorites in high school and I read it several times, along with the play. I didn't see the film version until I was living in New York. sometime between 1979 and 1985.

Post by: Jrand74 on July 10, 2015, 08:04:55 AM: I like the novel, too, DR ELMORE. And the movie has some added lines that I really like.....and of course some changes that I don't care for.

It's still an interesting play....if the actors can keep up the pace, it will help us a lot tonight....that was my only note....some people talking too slowly....and Rhoda and Leroy the handyman talking too quickly.....

It came in at 2:30 including a curtain speech (turn off your phones) and a 15 minute intermission. I would like to come in at 2:15.....we shall see.

People walked out because of just talk of homosexuality? Really?? Theater Artists Olympia did two live stage productions (an all-male cast, and an all-female cast) of Quentin Tarantino's "The Reservoir Dogs" with ALL the language and blood and the ear getting cut off. We practically sold out the entire run!

And that's horseracing...and Olympia. ;)

Post by: singdaw on July 10, 2015, 02:46:50 PM: On my way to Orchestra Hall to see/hear the film Singing in the Rain, accompanied by a live orchestra. This is the same technique they used with West Side Story last year, where they eliminate everything on the soundtrack but the voices and the sound effects. Just HOW the conductor keeps everything aligned to the micro-second, I know not, but it involves earbuds and a very strange screen with different shapes and colors.
Title: Re: THE SCREED

They served good eats at the opening night party this evening. A local jernt provided chicken marsala, a multi-cheese macaroni with bacon and jalapeno, and the freshest green beans I've ever seen.

Why, did the green beans say something rude to you?

To which my response was, "Well, I never!"
