Charlie Hamblett

The Player:

The old man thinks he’s in love with his daughter.

Rosencrantz:

Good God. We’re out of our depths here.

The Player:

No, no, no! He hasn’t got a daughter! The old man thinks he’s in love with his daughter.

Rosencrantz:

The old man is?

The Player:

Hamlet… in love… with the old man’s daughter… the old man… thinks.

Rosencrantz:

Ah.

March 27 is International Theatre Day.

In 1961, March 27 was established as World Theatre Day by the International Theatre Institute. If you’re looking at a calendar, that means today. So let’s celebrate!

Please, wherever you are…

remember a favorite show tune

pop in a soundtrack or cast recording

watch a movie of a musical or play that you cherish

better yet, buy a ticket to a live musical or play (as pricy a proposition as that may sometimes be today).

If you never go to the theatre, you’ve never been to the theatre, or you don’t know what theatre is about, and you’re reading this, and you live somewhere close to a theatre, be it legit theatre, dinner theatre, university theatre, or any kind, you must go, and you must try and experience that. The theatre is like nothing else on this whole planet, and the reason for that is that it is alive.
