I like my theatre like I like my men...
« on: Jul 30, 2012, 05:34 pm »
A game I've been playing with friends.

We've all heard "I like my coffee like I like my men: black." right?

Well, how about theatre?

My contributions:

"I like my theatre like I like my men: dire and German."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: intelligent, touching, and finished by 11 PM."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: with several intermissions and an open bar."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: adequately rehearsed."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: funded by the Canada Council for the Arts."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: with an opening number by Neil Patrick Harris."
"I like my theatre like I like my men: with a strict no-cellphones policy."

"I like my theatre like I like my men..." A few hours a day for a couple months, then I move to another one.

I like my theater like I like my men: with a great dance break.
I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

...recovering nicely from a strict religious upbringing.
...keeping me busy for 10 out of 12.
...covered in beeeees. (Oh wait, wrong forum.)
...bound up in something with 3 rings.
...outdoors, with plenty of condoms on hand.
...organic, adventurous and yet leery of Julie Taymor.
