TEF Theatre

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 don't know what's going on

I don't know what's going on with my computer.. my game disconnected yesterday and I haven't been able to reconnect since. Sad Sad I hope there is an understudy available to take my part if I can't fix this soon. I'm really sorry!

..Well, nobody showed up.

..Well, nobody showed up. I'm surprised myself that I scheduled it on a weather day, but I had hoped to get through the scripting. Nevertheless, I don't think this is going to work. I haven't been a good leader. Anyone who wants to take over the project, can. I'm sorry.

Better hopes to future productions.

I thought it wasn't taking place for another half hour anyway?

I'm sorry Sad I got very confused about the timing: at first I thought it would be noon for me, but then I checked some clock-y bits, and they said one (aka, a half hour from now)

....Maybe we can try to do another production in another little while, and be sure to strike while the iron is hot.

I wanna keep trying, personally, but as our director is gone, someone else will have to take the reigns(is that spelled right?) there.

That makes two of us, at least. Smiling And some good news, I've fixed whatever it was that kept me from connecting, and things seems to be working okay again.

Hmmm....Well, I am not good

Hmmm....Well, I am not good at organizing: are you any good at organizing things?
Because, if Kiwizoom will allow, we could probably continue or re-start this, using the costuming and script.

Hmm, I'm really not that great at organizing either. But if no one can take the lead maybe we can work together somehow. Sticking out tongue

Yes, that may work. We'd

Yes, that may work. We'd probably want to make a few tiny edits to the script (I believe there was some concern about the wolf not really "talking" to Red...), and one of us would need to make a new thread so we can bump it and garner more interest and so on.

Whatever happens, I will stick around. I want to see my baby grow up ^^ If that means leading or not, that is all up to you. I already like this place better now that people are starting to stitch the ends.
Seed's picture

Heh. Well, neither Ephra nor

Heh. Well, neither Ephra nor myself are excellent organizers...but regardless, I suspect new casting + ect might need to be done, mostly for the sake of enthusiasm.

We might also need to commit as to who is taking charge here.

I might need an understudy to take over as grandma I think... :/ I just never know when I'll absolutely be free to practace or perform... So yeah... maybe one of these days, but I don't think I can make it for now.

I'm a bit weird, but so is everyone else in the world, thus weird is normal and normal is weird. This in mind, I'm actually a little normal, and anyone who is completely normal might really be a serial killer. <- My logic. True self quote.

I might also be busy during the next couple weeks, but since there will probably be some re-casting and script revising I figure 'rehearsals' will not be happening for a while anyhow.

Alright, I agree some

Alright, I agree some recasting for interest will be in order. I see our main peeps are Seed Ephra and Zerg, so that's a good start ^^ other roles need recasting, most people copped out or stopped answering me.

For now I guess we'll all work together then : ) That seems a lot more fair, and productive, for the time being

Well, if you're still our "person who leads the audience around," then maybe it should be you, since this would "lead our audience around."

Aww, Thank You ^^ I suppose I'll start it then, tweak some of it to make it easier to understand.

Here's the new thread: http://endlessforest.org/community/tef-theatre-need-3-actors
