MadameThespian Underhill and Darius Debruyere in Back Burner |
I admit it. I put down the big article I have been working on for weeks on Stories in Second Life because I went to the theater this afternoon. It was the virtual theater, and Avatar Repertory Theater’s (A.R.T.) opening weekend of their Virtual Short Play Buffet. A.R.T. promotes the performance with this phrase: “Life is a banquet, and so is theater. Put on your best bib and tucker and join the Avatar Repertory Theater as we present a seven course meal of full productions of the seven winning plays from the Virtual Short Play Buffet.” They were not kidding! If you love theater, good stories, good writing, and excellent performances – this is a must see. Do not wait. Do not delay. Put the reminder in your pda, your Outlook, whatever will beep annoyingly at you and remind you to “GO! GO NOW!” There are four more performances left over the next two weekends. Plan ahead, get your seat early. Expect there to be capacity crowds because this is excellent theatre in any universe, and the word is bound to spread fast.
