The Boards - Tuesday - Rehearsal - 10/07

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey has had an idea.

It's a relatively simple idea, but he thinks it might be a nice thank you to the actors for all their hard work since it kept him eating. Relatively.

As such, he was smiling as he opened the door to the theatre today, ready to get down to business.

[ocd coming up!]

Discussion

"So...

"I'm the director. Yes. And this is entirely unorthodox, not that most of you would know that, but I have a question for you all:

"What do you think would be the best use of funds on this production? Costumes, or a set?

"Or hell, anything else you can think of. Hit me.

"Not, you know, literally."

[discussion! ping and crossping as you like]

"Laser light show!"

No, no one should ever ask Cal anything like this ever. The unapologetic grin on his face made it clear that he didn't think he should be taken seriously, either, though.

Re: Discussion

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

"...no."

Much like a parent to a child asking for ice cream at six in the morning. Though he does seem to be amused.

Re: Discussion

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"A-Ano," she asked, somewhat dubiously considering his grin, "w-what's a laser l-light show?"

Re: Discussion

"I think we need a stage pet, you know, like a parrot or something that we can teach to talk," Amber said, expressiong her inner need for a pet. And just because.

Re: Discussion

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

He knew he shouldn't, because it would just earn him a bit of a glare, but Cal snorted a little teasingly at Amber's suggestion. Don't get him wrong, it was cute! But definitely snort-worthy.

Re: Discussion

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

Geoffrey, who'd watched the discussion on the parrot, nodded slowly.

"I'll take it for consideration."

Beat.

"There was that crazy seagull at the banana stand..."

Re: Discussion

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

G'Kar considered for a few moments. "For this production," he spoke up, "perhaps costumes."

"I do have another suggestion though, but for a future production." Yes, he's thinking ahead already. "A show where there's nothing. Just a bare stage and the actors themselves. A strange idea, I'm certain, but there it is nevertheless."

Re: Discussion

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

"I've done it," he admitted. "And hell, we practically did it last production. It's a difficult approach in some ways, but it works for certain plays."

Beat.

"Costumes was a thought, though."

Re: Discussion

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"A s-set," she said tentatively. "B-Because the a-actors should b-be able to e-express their c-character whether they a-are in their r-regular clothing or in a c-costume."

Re: Discussion

[suit-of-sables.livejournal.com]

He nodded to her.

"Yes, I do like that idea, myself. Also, I've always preferred comfortable actors, myself."

Re: Discussion

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi was a little tired and coming down with a headache, so making her chose between both options was just asking for trouble.

"Why can't we just do some kind of fundraiser and raise money for both costumes and a set?" she asked.

Re: Discussion

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"You can reuse sets, right? Once they're...set?" Right? Fresh coat of paint, they're done.

Off-Stage

Snoozing. Amber totally zonked out. Up late last night, self-defense lesson this morning, not to mention class. She was done in for.

Re: Off-Stage

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack was totally reading his lines this time, not like the last time when he was just phoning it in, wondering if his performance would be better than the last one.

It better be.

Stage Manager

When he pings in. Isn't he awesome?
