Live Theatre Post

This year I included a wish on my [livejournal.com profile] holiday_wishes list for people to support local theatre and shows. This is your place to tell me about what you have seen this year.

I helped a friend with her one act and ten minute play showcase entries by letting her tap into my religious studies knowledge and then offered my talents for her series of staged readings before she went on to write the final draft of each her pieces. I also started writing another play of my own this year.

Other than that, my support has had to be from afar and mostly in promoting my friends and their works. :)

I've only seen school productions - that probably doesn't count

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. I've seen attack ships on fire off the shores of Orion. I've seen seabeams glitter at Tannhauser gates. ...all those moments in time...will be lost... like... tears.. in Rain.

Sorry, but you set it up.

Let us see...

I worked on the World Premier of SACCO & VANZETTI (VINCE, AL & TEDDY) in Fitchburg, MA. I worked on the American Premier of PLAYING SINATRA in NYC. I saw: VIEUX CARRE by Tennessee Williams. I was in the first reading of MODELING MOTHER in Fitchburg, MA. I saw a reading of MODELING MOTHER in NYC. I saw FROG AND TOAD in Gardner, MA. I saw THE WIZARD OF OZ in Acton, MA. I saw THE LARAMIE PROJECT in Fitchburg, MA. I saw ARCADIA in Fitchburg, MA. I saw AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY in Fitchburg, MA.

There were more, but I'm drawing a blank.

So tired.

I saw more stuff than I can remember, though much of it was with webcowgirl who has blogged about most of them... (http://webcowgirl.wordpress.com)

I only did two shows of my own this year - the modern world premiere of Fair Em, which has been attributed to Shakespeare but most likely is not, and the UK premiere of Darling of the Day, which starred Vincent Price on Broadway in 1968 and I think hasn't been done since.

This seems impossible, but as I look back on the year, I don't think I've been to a single live event. I still have a little over two weeks to correct that, but this detail just adds more depth to what a strange year this has been. Thank you for the reminder.

Shall I limit my list to local productions I have seen, or shall I include Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off-Broadway and/or shows I have performed in?
