I think Theatre gets a bad rap because it’s not in a great state these days, and many of you will think of ‘theatre kids’ and Hamilton before anything else.

However, it’s a medium with a very radical history, and a lot of potential for interactive pieces that that can truly educate people about revolutionary practice and so on. I truly think it’s overlooked.

Bonus question: what’s your favourite piece of Theatre that you’ve seen?

Nah, I typically see Americans use theatre to refer to plays and musicals vs theater being for movies. Not sure why, I do it too though.

Yes and yes.

Favourite theatre piece is probably the 1774 tenor version of Gluck’s Orphee et Eurydice

This would give me some place to post the “Virgin Hamilton vs. Chad Hadestown” meme that’s been floating around half-formed in my brain for a while now.

If stagecrew are allowed, then sure. I’ve built my fair share of sets, but was too shy to act. I haven’t seen too much theatre outside of field trips in school, but the Romeo and Juliet opera was great.

It takes all of us, comrade. Some of the best staged moments would have been nothing without the crew.
