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!]

"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]

If you're not on stage, you're

Stage Manager

When he pings in. Isn't he awesome?

Cause you want to talk to him, we know you do.

If you're awesome and did a scene with someone else...

Cal Stephanides

Re: Discussion

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"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.

"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

[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

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Cal snapped his fingers in muted dejection. "Damn," he said, shaking his head, and then sighing dramatically. "Well, I guess," he rolled his eyes, "if that's out of the question, some nice sets would be cool. I mean, I think that'd be a better investment myself. Costumes don't seem like they'd be as hard to come by around here."

Re: Discussion

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber shot him a qlare, her eyes narrowed. "...I don't think it would like you. My parrot." Her idea. Her parrot.

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

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "I think it is something worth exploring some day. It would be an interesting challenge."

"And costumes, yes. With the comedy, it could add some visual color to the scenes along with the humor. Especially since it's a lighter play."

Hyuuga Hinata

Re: Discussion

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I'd like it either," Cal admitted, faint grin unfaltering in the presence of that familiar glare. "I think if we get a pet for the place, it should be a cat."

Cal liked cats.

Re: Discussion

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"What's wrong with a parrot?" she asked, arching an impish brow. "Scared of birds, Cal?"

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

[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."
