Tie between Macbeth and King Lear

I love the home movie of my 6th grade play. We did an on stage version of Oregon Trail.

I played the son and I got dysentery and died half way through.

2/25/2010 1:32:37 PM

^ if thats true, thats badass.

2/25/2010 1:44:35 PM

Anyone have any favorite plays that aren't Shakespeare?

2/25/2010 1:52:01 PM

None of my favorites are Shakespeare.

2/25/2010 1:54:56 PM

I saw the 39 steps on broadway and it was FUCKING AWESOME!!! Favorite play i've seen so far. I want to see avenue Q though...i hear that brings the lols

A nonmusical play is usually boring as shit.


I guess Waiting for Godot if done right can be pretty good.

He said no musicals

2/25/2010 1:59:15 PM

not a fan of musicals...what jesus christ super star a musical? that was good.

2/25/2010 2:00:24 PM

Phantom and its not even close

Also saw a version of Glengarry Glen Ross a few years back that knocked my socks off

2/25/2010 2:00:29 PM

Well I prefer musicals myself...I mean I basicaly live in a musical...

However I need to perform one scene from a play and I'm trying to get some ideas...everyone does shakespeare...and honestly I'm so tired of Shakespeare...

I perfer more modern (1900's) plays...so I just wanted to get some ideas so I can read them and figure out what scene I want to perform.

I heard Wicked is decent.

I wouldn't mind seeing that.

2/25/2010 2:04:15 PM

Do Blake's speech from Glengarry

It's not in the play, but most people won't know that, or even care if you nail it

2/25/2010 2:04:58 PM

^^heard it's a decent book


sup Pickey!

2/25/2010 2:05:47 PM

Okay...just in case some of y'all were confused....

A musical has singing and dancing in it....and I asked to please exclude musicals....

But thank you for your effort anyway!


I mean I could totally do a monologe instead if wanted to...but I wouldn't mind enlisting other people to perform with me so I was kinda looking for a play...

I wanted to do The Importance of Being Earnest....but someone already did it

2/25/2010 2:07:45 PM

I am bad at picking favorites ... Greater Tuna for hilariousness. Our Town because it brings back good memories. Under Milk Wood because it's different.

2/25/2010 2:09:20 PM

Bonus points to people who name plays that have a strong female lead

2/25/2010 2:09:47 PM

WR reverse pass to the QB for the touchdown (NCSU vs UNC 2000)!

2/25/2010 2:11:04 PM

^hahaha you're so fucking hilarious!

Please dress up as a black faced elmo and post pictures of it in every thread again!

2/25/2010 2:14:54 PM

fuck this no-musical noise

Seeing Phantom on Broadway 10/10

2/25/2010 2:17:25 PM

^I'm not asking because I don't like musicals....as I have said many times before I fucking love musicals and I wish I could live in one....

But I cannot do a musical when I do my performance...I'm getting ideas.

2/25/2010 2:18:45 PM

so simple, yet so effective

2/25/2010 2:19:33 PM

La Cocina

I mean, who doesn't love an off-off Broadway comedy about Pepe, the Mexican mime chef?

the dollhouse or the importance of being earnest

2/25/2010 2:29:21 PM

after actually reading this thread the dollhouse fits your categories

2/25/2010 2:31:21 PM

Spring's Awakening is a very intriguing play I enjoyed reading. Gotta love those German-child rape scenes.

2/25/2010 2:32:52 PM

2/25/2010 2:32:59 PM

I'm so angry at the people who did Importance of Being Earnest cause they fucked it up....but I can't do it cause someone got to it first!

I think I might look for Our Town in the library...


doesn't look like my schools library has it and all the public libraries have it checked out

wtf?


Okay A Doll's House looks like something I will be able to pick up to read...I'll try to do that sometime soon.

[Edited on February 25, 2010 at 2:36 PM. Reason : ]

2/25/2010 2:34:26 PM

If this is an audition, Our Town is a favorite of the two generations before us.

So yea, do it.

2/25/2010 2:40:52 PM

i like foreplay really

2/25/2010 2:41:35 PM

^That's a good one too.

Someone was lying to you.

I had to watch a play about blind swimmers with mental retardation two years ago. It was good but not in the way they intended.
