I had an idea that it'd be cool to garrison up a few deer to try a play. : ) However many participants is up to the popularity of this idea, but I think we can make it work ^^
The deer have many emotes, which would be useful to do a silent play. The play would have to be something most people know, like red riding hood, Bambi, or Phantom of the Opera. Any ideas for plays would be great, because some will work better than others as far as the supplies in costumes and emotes we have : ) I think the script would have to be simple and easy to understand and posted on the Theatre page so people could read it and follow along as best as possible! ^^ I figure if enough want to join, there could be a choir too!
~~The play currently underway~~~
The play to be performed is: Tale of Tales Fairy Tales: Little Red Riding Hood
.
VOLOUNTEERING ACTORS: #actors needed: 5
Seed...............Woodcutter
Ephra........................Wolf
Rinta................ ( mailed )
Emiva........................Red
Zergarikiaka.......Grandma
.
VOLOUNTEERING UNDERSTUDIES: needed, if an actor can't make it to showing
Fayne
Tae
.
.
OTHER OFFICERS:
director of play- Kiwizoom
director of costumes-Noortiss
director of choir-none, none needed
Everyone should help with script, this should be a consensus :3
~~~ (bullets are not placeholders for participants, just spacers)
Here's an outline of what I had in mind if it works:
Get a group of people together to do the play and assign roles. Give ample time for said deer to get the right spelldata, a costume rehearsal if you will. Some form of instant chat like msn would be a great help to iron out the wrinkles of the play making ^^
I think some basic roles would work like this..
A couple playing characters, about 3 or 4. Costumes will be decided that fit those characters best : ) These participants should be most trustworthy for showing up purposes
Some extras and small playing parts will probably be needed : )
If there's a choir, those deer may chose masks of various types and perch on the outer edges of the playing area and moo to their heart's content during choir singing times
If the play moves to a different area, I think a designated deer with a silencer mask should follow the play in tow and moo to alert the audience that it's time to move and show them where
Dying sequences would be neat, because you could just log off and you poof : ) I think the participating actor could then rejoin a little later to be fly on the wall.
I hadn't thought of much else after that, but certainly all is open to discussion ^^
When everyone's ready, we schedule a big rehearsal to test out the script and make revisions.
Once it's downpat, set a date!
-------
So anyway, those are my ideas, if this is destined to happen : ) I figure a thespian group of deer would be downright awesome!
*Oh, by the way! I think fawns would be a GREAT addition to the choir, they've got nice high pitched voices!
I had an idea like this

Maybe some sort of fairytale: I'm not really sure which one, though. Maybe Cinderella or something: Seed would make a fabulous Fairy Godmother...err...Father.
We need, in my opinion, something kinda simple, that can be read into fairly easily.

Romeo and Juliet could work although all the folks who've already got those roles would need to volunteer here...
--------
Yes, I think something
In my opinion, we should start small in acting, but if everyone is gung-ho for r&j I'm not going to fight it ^^; we would probably have to water it down though. Like choose the most recognizable scene(s)
I like your idea about faerie godmothers and tales though : ) Since we really do have casting powers. Heck, especially the shapeshift spell, that would be very interesting as far as curses.
I could agree to red riding
Oh, what about a version of that children's book "Is Your Mamma a Llama?" or whatever it was called?...or maybe that would be too simple?...Yeah, that would be too simple.
or maybe Sleeping Beauty? If we wanted a bigger cast, we could do something closer to the Disney Version...Although Prophecy might be hard to handle without words.

Haha! That'd be interesting
I've never read that
Hmm, maybe ^^ I suppose we could try to simulate things like kissing. we'd need understudies to be sleeping deer and pick up where the awake actor left off, because deer only sleep after 5 minutes. Or, the acting deer could quick logout and log back in to be 'sleeping'
How would the wolf go
Red: scratch ground (or bow+scratch ground, "point"), head tilt?
Wolf: nod, sneeze off portion of "grandma" costume until there's the "wolf" costume in that part showing.
(repeat twice, until all set pieces are "wolf" costume)
and kissing...nuzzling, or maybe a really, really close bow on a sleeping deer (so the heads are touching). Doing sleeping, true, might be pretty hard....The "sleeping actor" thing might work better, since logging off/logging on might be hard to do in terms of coordination. Or sitting could just be our stand-in for "sleeping," with some suspension of disbelief mixed in.

Maybe phantom of the opera?
Oh and red could also be a mini with a red pelt
And you could just transform the wolf into a men(deer)eating stag
Oh wow how did I miss this?
It's a really unique idea! I always imagined one of my deer being in theatre XD However I'm having a hard time visualizing the going ons, and would probably end up messing it up >_< Tis my way. But I'd love to see what you guys do with it...

@Seed: Should be possible,
I could take care of the costumes, trying out things, making screenshots and putting the different ideas up so everyone can choose later what looks best?
I have TEF on both my computer and laptop so I can help myself with casting and will save the spelldata so it will be easier for the actors to put costumes on...
I vote that either the wolf

@Kiwizoom: Yeah, lol, that the wolf sneezes it off first and when he is revealed he sneezes again and is back wolf. So he needs first the wolf set, then the grandma set on top of it and then the wolf set again.
Granny would probably have

I suggested an idea for the
Also, I'd like to point out that I view the big white antlers with the lots and lots of tongs as being big, powerful agressive antlers.
The woodcutter will need a costume, too...He'd need something Heroic-looking.

Hmm, it /could/ take awhile to get a good grandma costume though, through the audience. hehe, i generally like idea of audience participation though ^^ maybe in a different way though
yeah, we prolly need a dark pelt for the wolf and a light one for grandma, totally different sets altogether
oh, and who's the woodcutter? I never heard of that before
Maybe woodcutter could have

the 3-layer costume is not
