Um, I don't have a google ID. I don't even know what that is.

Invite me anyway!

It's an ID on Google.

innerSpaceman · 05-07-2008, 09:46 AM

Well, whatever. I don't have an ID on google, and I don't really want one. (Uh, what does it get you?)

That's ok, 'cause I have no desire to participate in picking the material. I wanna cold read, real cold.

So just post when the party is, and I'd like to be there.

ID on google = gmail, gchat, google documents, google checkout and lots of other stuff. It's the end all of all "IDs".

Ah, we had so much initial interest... and it seems to be waining? We have a sum total of one person who's weighed in on the spreadsheet.

You can always weigh in here. May 31 availability? Currently there's some interest in reading Much Ado and Hamlet. I'd throw the short plays on the shortlist too.

innerSpaceman · 05-08-2008, 10:21 AM

Well, speaking as one who doesn't have access to the spreadsheet and doesn't care ... it's because I don't have a clue regarding what dramatic material we should dramatize.

It seems to me, and maybe to others, that the purpose of the spreadsheet is to choose material, not to indicate desire to attend (that's what this thread is for, n'est pas?)

The suggestion was made above, that LSPoorEeyorick select the material, and I heartily concur. Perhaps most other folks do as well.

Don't put too much credence into my suggestions - I'm actually pretty stupid on these things.

And I thought we had a working date of the 31st.

I concur

We DO have a working date of the 31ist. I figured that the spreadsheet would be good for figuring out how many people we have (and therefore what size of cast we'd need) - and once we'd picked, people could choose roles if they wanted, because I know some people don't want to cold read.

Kevy, I love Shakespeare too (screen name, duh!) but I know it can be a little intimidating the first time if you're not used to it - and I want the inaugural reading to be something that's inviting to the whole crowd.

If I had to pick at this moment, I'd probably pick David Ives' collection of short plays, because they're an ice breaker, and it won't matter if we have many or few readers (because we can double-cast across plays without the confusion of one person playing two characters in conversation.) But I love all of the stuff people suggested, so I'm open. Maybe if I could get a good gauge - do you guys feel like reading something classical or modern?

innerSpaceman · 05-08-2008, 11:17 AM

I don't want to read Shakespeare (though I can in a pinch). But other than that, it can be as classical as you like ... or as modern.

HAHAHAHA, You Pick, Heidi!!!
