Hello! Are you a theatre artist between the ages of 18-29? Do you want a place to connect with other early-career theatre artists and share professional resources? Well, me too!

I've made a young theatre professionals discord server with the intention of putting what resources I do have to good use and (hopefully) helping out some fellow artists. The idea is to create a community where passionate theatre-makers can support one another and spread the word about potential opportunities within the industry. I don't expect it to be very large, but I think it would be extremely useful for those of us who can benefit from it!

With all that said, come join!*

*note: I'm currently residing in the United States, and I personally am not currently very involved with or knowledgeable of the professional theatre scene outside the US, but international artists are still free to join!

i don't really go there because i've never seen the play in full, but i hope people in the a midsummer night's dream fandom use nick bottom for the appropriate smutfic tag comedy potential of having Bottom Bottom and Top Bottom tags. it's what shakespeare would have wanted

“Mercutio and Benvolio were gay as fuck for each other,“ I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off in shame, when a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“He’s right, you know.” I look for the owner of the voice. There in the 5th row stands: William Shakespeare himself.

Today has been A Day so to cheer myself up, magic!Hamlet AU (and also a Faustus crossover because you can’t have magic Wittenberg without our favorite Master Doctor Faustus!)

-Wittenberg as a school of magic!!

-Hamlet and Horatio both study there (perhaps taught by a certain John Faustus…?)

-Ros & Guil also study magic but they’re not terribly committed (Ros would make an excellent bard if his parents would let him study that sort of thing)

-Powerful wizard Ham Sr uses the last of his life force to reconjure himself as a ghost

-Ophelia with healing magic who goes mad because she couldn’t get to Polonius in time to save him

-Horatio with healing magic and a history of using too much magic to the point that it’s dangerous for him so Hamlet, dying, realizing that to save his life, Horatio would put himself in danger and uses his last moments shutting him up with a kiss so he can’t say the words necessary for a spell.

-Hamlet and/or postcanon Horatio learning/attempting to learn necromancy (from Faustus??)

-(bonus: Mephistopheles being forced to drag Ham Sr out of purgatory so Hamlet can have a proper goodbye)
