He's a thief. He's a prince. He speaks to the Gods. He's barely more than a child. He's killed a man. He misses his cousin. He's a manipulator. He stole a stone of immortality from the people who were trying to steal it. He didn't die all the way. He never wanted to fight. He just wants to lay in his library and read. He had his hand cut off. He's a politician. He's a drunk. He's never more trouble than he is worth. He loves her and he's telling the truth. He's a menace. He's a king. He can steal anything. He's a liar. He's conquered two countries. He's terrifying. He's shorter than all his friends. He's a father. He's always underestimated.
I think at least 3 of the last 4 shows I’ve done have had this problem, but in my cases it’s always been changes from the TD’s side. Like, we’re changing the dimensions of the platforms so we can save money by using existing stock, but we didn’t bother telling stage management so you’ve spent DAYS playing tetris in the rehearsal room trying to get a drum kit to fit only to find out that the platform is actually significantly smaller than what was on the groundplan! Or, we’ve changed the placement of hanging scenery to make linesets work better and surprise it’s now several feet farther upstage than you thought it was going to be! Etc etc etc! I’m not bitter about this at all!
Set designers- if you change the groundplan after sending it to the entire staff, make sure you tell the director and stage manager. You don't want them to stage the entire show and then find out several pieces of furniture have been cut at the designer run through.
all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.
Friend. Dearest mutual. Lovely follower. Random passer-by. I know we haven't shared a fandom in 5 years. I know we never talk. I know we may only barely recognize each other's icons, if that. I just want you to know...
