Dog Sees God
Feb. 4th, 2009 11:08 amWPI's MW REP PRESENTS
Dog Sees God
Confessions of a teenage blockhead
Directed by Richard Pavis
Produced by Andrew Wilkins
Thursday, February 5th - 8:00PM
Friday, February 6th - 8:00PM
Saturday, February 7th - 8:00PM
Admission $5
For reservations, email dog@wpi.edu
Due to the mature nature of the production, children under the age of 17 will not be admitted.
"We’ve watched our fictional childhood friends grow up (or in the case of Rugrats, become all growed up). Whether seeing Stewie encounter a future version of himself, or watching in real-time the children of For Better or For Worse age and become adults themselves, we are fascinated by the idea of fictional characters aging, seeing who they become when the world confronts them with responsibilities. This is what Bert V. Royal has done in Dog Sees God, his vision of the dark side of American adolescence—a biting parody of Schulz’s Peanuts comic that unapologetically studies drug use, eating disorders, sex and sexuality, suicide and teenage cruelty through the lens of adolescent versions of the same students we’ve read and watched for years, waiting for the great pumpkin or dancing on stage, carefree and happy.
Dog Sees God opens with the death of CB’s (think Charlie Brown) beloved dog—after finding him rabid and foaming at the mouth in his doghouse—which sets into motion CB’s own thoughts about the nature of life and death. We find, as CB tries to turn to his friends for help, that the rest of the gang has become too self-involved (or in Lucy/Van’s Sister’s case, incarcerated) to give him any guidance. The reacquaintance of CB with Beethoven (Schroeder), a pariah for his suspected homosexuality, sets the stage for the conflict that forces all of the old Peanuts crew to contemplate their lives.
With a story that at times is both darkly disturbing and hugely uplifting, Dog Sees God provides us with an opportunity to look at our own experiences, and deeply think about our own experiences. When the play is staged this week in the Little Theatre, see the Peanuts take stage—let them break your heart, and help you remember the darker side of high school."

Gross indecency!
Nov. 21st, 2008 01:01 pmGross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde
by Moisés Kaufman
Produced by Patrick Crowe
Directed by Dominic DiGiovanni
Description:
Oscar Wilde, the famous author and playwright, takes legal action against
the Marquis of Queensbury for calling him a "posing sodomite". The trial
is an excuse for Wilde to talk about his beliefs on art, and the nature of
life. Instead, Oscar himself ends up on trial for gross indecency, setting
in motion the events that would ruin him as a public figure and an artist,
and eventually lead to his death. The play, whose dialogue is taken from
first sources, explores themes of historical and modern homosexuality,
censorship, and the role of the artist in society.
Dates: November 20, 21, 22
Time: House opens at 7:30pm, Show at 8:00pm
Where: The Little Theatre
Tickets: $5 for house seats

Intercon signups!
Nov. 20th, 2008 12:37 amHoly shit, my game filled up fast! I'm surprised. Happy, but it was a surprise. And I see some familiar faces on my signup list - people I know to be a lot of fun - so this game is going to be ridiculous. xD
So, yes. Martha Stewart's Guide is full. BUT!
Depending on how many people are interested (even vs odd numbers are an issue), I'm more than willing to write more characters. Therefore, if you wanted to play, you are more than welcome to hop on the waitlist and will more than likely (within reason) get in. =)

Les underoos
Nov. 19th, 2008 03:09 pmI got a new corset for myself and one for my wife! They came in the mail today. Mine is silver embroidery with black trim, hers is a red bordello-style. And mine's a perfect fit. =)
Thing is, the place I bought them from usually tosses in a little something extra. This is nice of them, but the thing they sent this time was a thong. I cannot wear those things.
So, would anyone on my f-list wear or want to wear a thong? It's a kind of maroon/burgundy with embroidered same-color lace, highrise, with a soft mesh waist and little cream-colored leaves. Rather pretty, but not my thing.
You can just have it. Seriously.

Interconz!
Nov. 12th, 2008 07:32 pmIntercon Round 2 signups are open. And I'm starting to write characters.
This game is going to be all sorts of wacky. And I've decided to start writing certain characters depending on the players who sign up. So! Jump into the game. Or let me know if you plan to when the final round opens so that I can write accordingly.
Awesomeness abounds.

If I get one more text/email/meme to the effect of "Obama's president, now all the white folk are slaves lawl" I'm going to rip that person's thumbs off.

It occurs to me to try it...
Aug. 12th, 2008 01:25 pmDoes anyone have a copy of Portal that I can borrow? Any platform but PS3. There are baked goods in it for someone who does.
Thanks! <3

Thanks! <3

A new addition!
Jun. 15th, 2008 05:45 pmI took home my new baby today. Thank you to everyone who pitched in ideas and comments! I did a lot of shopping around and asked a lot (a lot. My mother was laughing as I did it - those poor salespeople...) of questions, but fell in love with him immediately.
I need to name him now, after I put him to use for the first time...
He's so handsome. And smart. <3

Summer work?
May. 3rd, 2008 04:32 pmHey!
Anyone on my flist looking for part-time or full-time work, for either just the summer or beyond?
My work needs cashiers. BADLY. Today was one of our busiest days, and we didn't have a SINGLE CASHIER available to work, so everyone else had to. It's ridiculous, frankly.
So! There are a huge variety of hours to work, and you can be as hands-on/off with the animals as you want. If you want to play with the dogs that come through and gush all over them, great! If you want to just stay on your side of the counter, that's more than kosher too. And it's a more-than-decent working environment with a job that's interesting but only marginally challenging. It took me two hours to train on the register, tops. In addition to training for my actual job.
Anyone? ...Anyone?

New Voices!
Apr. 8th, 2008 08:03 pmSo, you all should come see New Voices this weekend. It runs Thursday through Saturday, a 2.5 hour festival of 12 plays. It's at 7pm on Thursday and Saturday, and Friday's shows are split into a matinee at 5 and the rest continuing at 8.
Things I'm involved in:
Playwright of 1 play
Director of 1 play
Actor in 1 play
Things![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elenuial is involved in:
Playwright of 2 plays
Director of 1 play
Actor in 1 play
It's completely free (thought you should show up early to ensure you get tickets), and takes place at WPI's Little Theatre. Come and see all the hard work we've put into this. It's got some awesome shows! The website has all the plays listed in their show order, and I can easily give out some synopses if you like.
The plays thatelenuial and I are working with:
Sympathy for the Devil, Inc. - What happens when you're an out-of-work demon in the modern age? Fire-breathing barbecue chefs, eight-legged track coaches, etc. - this special agency is the best place to solve all of your problems.
Glow - College seniors go out looking for fireflies in what seems like a childish pasttime but turns out to be the best time to reflect on their imminent adulthood.
How to meet Girls, for Voice Actors - Seeing the lives of the people behind the voices, and how they reflect (or contradict) their counterparts.
Walt and Wilde - What would happen if two of the greatest literary minds of their time ever met? Intelligent, meaningful conversation? Pfft. Booze, brawling, and cowboys, that's what.
Believe me, it'll be so totally worth it to see them. I know a lot of you are literary geeks, so seeing Walt and Wilde would make your nights. I promise. I see it every night, and it still cracks me up.
See you there!

Free dog training?
Apr. 8th, 2008 07:58 pmHey, worcester area f-list!
So, since I can only learn so much without an actual critter, anyone have a dog they want me to train? You buy the clicker and treats, and I teach your dog basic behaviors and leashing. All positive reinforcement training, no choke chains. Dog needs to have collar/harness and leash.
I figured I'd put it out there just in case anyone wanted a tutor for their pooch. =)
