2006-Jan-26 - The Thee-a-ter Bug

Why do I spell it out in a pseudo-phonetic style, you ask? Beacause that's the way it should be spoken- with 3 syllables. Whether you say it like David Niven or Joe Bob Briggins, you're going to make it a tri-syllabic word (of course the pronunciation is a bit different).

This reminds me of when we did Xanadu in college.

So, ahhh yes- my point: I haven't done a play in some time and I'm itchin to do one. To be in the thee-a-ter again- oh it makes me misty just considerin it. My friend, SocalJess, and I are in talks about performing a two person show together in June. It's a really intense piece written by New Yorker and Irishman, John Patrick Shanley. I won't mention the name just yet since it ain't set in stone at this point.

Anyway, SocalJess and I have collaborated (with a few other buds as well) several times before and always pulled off pretty decent stuff, but usually lost a good deal of money. What with the space rental and rights and costumes and set and paint for the set and beer to drink while painting the set- it adds up. And then only your really close friends and a few arts supporting older couples from the neighborhood and one actor's manager show up, and you're left holding the bag (and it definitely ain't a bag with dough lemme tell ya).

Nevertheless, we plan to do this show. For unless your name is Mr. Broadway Excutive Producer, your chances of making money on theatrical productions is slim to less than none. That's not why you do thee-a-ter in L.A anyway. It's for the love of it. (Incidentally, I need a new car so we need to make a lot of money on this play- If you can make it please do so.)

I don't rightly know what that is friend.

And as far as the brokeback parts go. You don't have to worry. I'm not gonna take 'em. Unless of course there is the possibility of my own love scene with Oscar. I just adore that little golden man.
