so what do u think about plays

i like how in a theatre time and space are necessarily metaphorical. i don’t like how plays always have to begin with someone walking onstage and talking. too many directors try to work around this by having someone walk onstage and brood in silence for a moment before talking. this is worse.

been working backstage as wig and hair crew for the lightning thief musical and after hearing it for 2 weeks straight it has grown on me i am endeared to it and i find it camp. however i still cannot get over the opening lines being some of the worst lyrics ive heard from a musical ever. which for the blissfully oblivious are "the gods are real. like the greek gods. the ones you heard about but werent paying attention to. well they dont pay attention to you either. especially if youre their kid." hate to say it but its giving cellular fusion from the high school musical stage adaptation.
