I think that there is one aspect that some...Brady,<br /><br />I think that there is one aspect that sometimes gets overlooked in the tired repeat of shows, and that is the actor.<br /><br />I know that I myself hope for the chance to play some of the roles I've seen in the past, and that some companies repeat this to keep their actors satisfied in trying their hands at parts they never have gotten to play (and then have a built in family of audience willing to go and see the show). But I also sometimes wish that the directors would stretch the roles outside of the box they were originally cast in. That would allow me to play the part of a 6 foot leading man even though I'm only 5 foot 7 inches. Will it ever happen? Doubt it, (unless I'm doing Forum or Producers) but there is always hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662539385844044723.post-61242661803407907712010-04-19T15:19:05.370-06:002010-04-19T15:19:05.370-06:00yay! i wasn't hallucinating. i thought this ...yay! i wasn't hallucinating. i thought this was on livejournal and when i couldn't find this post i thought i had imagined it. hahaha!<br /><br />as i wrote in your livejournal, not sure which comment you'll see frist, but sometimes when people have too many choices they don't make a decision, ie, they go with the familiar. i can understand why people do this, i go with the familiar but at the same time i don't understand it. <br /><br />i'm processing a collection where i work, (we don't just get rare, unique books, we also get people's collections which can consist of their diaries, papers, letters, etc), this woman saved all her old playbills from the 20s, 30s, etc, anyways, i noticed that she saw Richard II three times in one year. 3 times! in one year! and they were just months apart. and i couldn't help but think why? did she just really love the play? or the actors? the director? what was it about this play? all the rest of the playbills are for different plays, for the most part, so it's just curious. <br /><br />i think people are lazy and really don't want to have to think about making a choice, so they go with the familiar.Jesihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11756949403005593547noreply@blogger.com
