The Boards, Wednesday

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

To say that Genesis was in a good mood today was like saying that rain was wet. He had his cast, he had a small but functional crew (though he could still add to that), and only one person had threatened him with death yesterday.

Which had been funny anyway.

All of that meant Genesis was all but chipper as he made certain that the chairs, arranged in a semi-circle were just so and that the food was laid out—mostly moddable foods that were simple to eat and would not leave a great mess—and drinks—juices, water, coffee and tea—were their proper temperatures.

Then it was a waiting game until his minions actors and actresses had all shown up. And then, then it was time to begin.

"I’m glad to see you all could make it." Because otherwise he’d have had to go looking for his actors and would not have been best pleased. Instead, he sounded coolly pleased with the situation. "Today we’ll be doing introductions: I’m Genesis Rhapsodos, the director, and so long as you’re in here, you answer to me." That covered things nicely, didn’t it? And was fairly reasonable, so far as he was concerned. "Excellent. As well as a read-through of the script. You are, at this time, permitted to ask any question so long as it concerns the play at hand."

And no, he would not change your role. And yes, this was him in a good mood.

[Wait for the OCD is up omigod.]

Off-Stage

At least there’s food to make up for the script he’s given you?

Re: Off-Stage

[wwiii]

Warren wasn't going to be able to eat. Eating would be insane when he was this nervous. How in the world did he manage to get himself wrapped up in this thing? Had he lost his mind?

So... no eating. But there was a bit of anxious pacing around, at least.

Re: Off-Stage

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel was bouncing with excitement, eager to get the show on the road, so to speak, and she was so excited that even she was forgetting to eat, which was saying a lot.

Jack was discovered that his tea was lacking a certain...zip. Fortunately his flask could fix that in just a second!

Re: Off-Stage

[glacial_queen]

Yay, food! They weren't Priestley's sandwiches, but Karla wasn't going to hold that against anyone. She'd just settle in with a snack and some juice; sure, she'd eaten at the Reserves meeting, but that was before she'd run into town. Now she was hungry again.

Re: Off-Stage

[isntabitpretty.livejournal.com]

Sara was not, it might be noted, upset or angry about the role she'd been given; she was nibbling at a muffin, reading over her script with the intent expression of a girl eager to find the most interesting things about her character and do the absolute best she could with them.

It was, after all, her first real theatrical role, and for that she could hardly be ungrateful.

Re: Off-Stage

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

No, Squall wasn't supposed to be there. So what? He sprawled in a seat at the back of the theater and watched the stage closely.

Introductions

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Let’s make sure that everyone knows everyone, mmkay?

Re: Introductions

[wwiii]

"Hey, guys," said a somewhat antsy Warren. "I'm Warren. And... I guess I'll be your Hunter for this show. And I'm not entirely sure what made me decide to get involved with this, but... here I am."

Oh, yes. It had been a combination of curiosity and being very easily intimidated.

Re: Introductions

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Hello, everyone!" Ariel was positively radiant from beaming. "I'm Ariel; I'm playing Trekky! I'm so excited for this; we're going to put on a great show, I can just feel it!"

Re: Introductions

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Alexander nodded his head to the others, introducing himself though he knew most of them already, "my name is Alexander; I'll be helping with the crew behind the stage."

Re: Introductions

[boho-to-be.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Christian said, with a light smile. "My name is Christian; I'm Prince Charming. I've always loved the theater, and I'm so excited to be here!"

Re: Introductions

[didntchewgrass.livejournal.com]

Elphaba stood firmly on her feet, defiant in her stance. As if to say 'Yes, I'm here, tell me I shouldn't be. I dare you.'

"I am Elphaba Thropp, and I will be playing the part of the magic mirror. Apparently I am not snowy enough for other parts."

She had to get that jab in, somewhere.

Re: Introductions

[capt-maxfactor.livejournal.com]

"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack said, "wrangler of squirrels, runner of the radio and, for this exercise, apparently a short man named Dummy. It's charming to meet all of you, even the eunuchs."

That was said with a speculative glance at Warren.

Re: Introductions

[glacial_queen]

Karla waved at everyone. "I'm Karla and I'm playing the wicked Queen." She was still feeling a little mixed about that. On the one hand, she had no problem playing a villain--she just sort of wished the Queen's villainy had a better motive than a desire to be pretty. "I'm very glad to be back in the theater again."

Re: Introductions

[isntabitpretty.livejournal.com]

Sara executed an elegant little curtsy to her castmates before she spoke up.

"Hello, everyone! I'm Sara -- Stanley," she added, almost an afterthought since the habit of specifying was rather dusty from disuse. "Only I'd much rather you call me the Story Girl."

If this seemed pretentious or some kind of silly affectation on her part, she wasn't aware of it.

"I'll be playing Bossy in the show, only you mustn't think I really am --" even if, at times, she could be -- "and I'm looking forward to this. I've never been part of a group of people who enjoy performing before; at home, everyone thought I was peculiar for it."

"Hi! I'm Robin, and I'll be playing the Forest Creatures!" See him bounce with excitement.

Re: Introductions

[angelo_wings]

"Hi!" Rinoa said. "I'm Rinoa Heartilly, and I'm going to be Snow White. I've never been in a play before but I'm really excited to be here!"

Re: Introductions

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela's shoulders were stiff and her glare just dared anyone to laugh. "I'm Triela. I've been assigned the role of Smelly the Dwarf."

Laugh. Unless you like breathing.

Read-through

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

Snow White
Part 1 (http://red-rhapsodos.livejournal.com/1739.html) // Part 2 (http://red-rhapsodos.livejournal.com/1837.html)

And this is where you can poke through the whole play and bring up any confusion over the lines, over the characters, ask any questions you might have. ... Anything goes?

Re: Read-through

[wwiii]

Warren might have gone a little pale as they went over the script.

Oh... Oh, that was a lot of lines.

Crew

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

If the crew want to scope out the actors or anything.

Re: Crew

[daventryprince.livejournal.com]

Alexander wasn't so much scoping out the actors as he was the behind-the-stage mechanics. He found himself particularly intrigued by all of the ropes for the curtains, finding them not too dissimilar from ropes for sails.

If you narrowed your eyes to blur it a bit, anyway.

Talk to Genesis

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

If you want to, after all, he’s in a good mood today. No, he won’t change your part. Not even if you threaten him Triela.

Re: Talk to Genesis

[furnaceface]

Well, Ariel had said that they were always looking for other stage hands down at the theatre, and it wasn't as though Jonothon had anything better to do with his Wednesdays. And so he had made his way down to The Boards to see what there was to see, and perhaps to have himself a nice little chat with the direc--

Actually, no. Once glance at the aforementioned director was all Jonothon needed to take before he mumbled something vaguely reminiscent of 'bloody hell,' spun on his heel, and marched right back for the door again.

OOC

[apples-n-poetry.livejournal.com]

This felt freakishly like writing a class guys. I was, somehow, not expecting that. And if I’ve missed anything, plz to be letting me know here?

ETA: Crew can totally sign in as well zomg. *fails at remembering that*
