video | a theatre near the temple of art | 01
[ There's quite a lot of activity going on behind him, what with the renovations being done. Geoffrey has a very select group of skills, thankfully, and one of them happens to be to find capable people who are willing to do things for him with only the barest expectation of payment (if that). Thankfully, in a people who have been devoid of music and art and literature, he has some of the finest bait possible. He's already put the posting outside the door here and at the temple and he's been looking through one of the abandoned libraries to find what he needs. Thankfully, he could probably transcribe the damn thing himself if he really needed to.
All the same, to the camera, he looks just a little wild-eyed, amped to 11 out of a possible 5, and only one of his shirt collars is tucked in properly. So, his usual when a play is afoot. ]
Hello!
[ That comes with a bow. ]
My name is Geoffrey Tennant, and I have been as of late the artistic director of the New Burbage Theatre Festival. As of now, it seems, I am your God of Art, Literature, and Music.
[ There's a little sweep of his eyebrows that clearly questions this decision, but he was better than nothing. Definitely better than nothing. ]
Given that my chosen art happens to be theatre, I thought I might invite some of the rest of you to join us here in the production we'll be putting on.
[ He holds out his hands in big, bold gestures. ]
The Tempest. One of my personal favorites, and certainly on topic as we all might feel just a touch as if we've been pulled through mystical means to a rather 'strange new world', as it were.
I'm going to need actors, of course, but also people to be stage crew, anyone interested in making fliers or pamphlets [ he chews on a nail as the details start to crowd his mind and he looks a little twitchy ] I may be the god of Art, but I still can't do much more than stick figures myself. Stick figures! And this play deserves better.
Come down, audition if you like, volunteer if you like, or just express interest and find out when we plan to open. All of that would be splendid, thank you.

That would be much appreciated.
[ Art is art, after all.]
And would you have any interest in acting, perhaps?
video
Which, I guess you probably need costumes too, huh.

[ Just the tiniest nibble in that direction. ]
But yes, we'll need costumes too.

[ She might do it for coffee. ]
I can sew.

Don't dare me to beg. I'll do it in a heartbeat.
[ But he waves that off with a smile and a shrug. ]
Is that so? Or sew.
Any talent for design?

What?
No.
I mean-
No.
Not necessarily.
[ And now he's going to give her a look askance. ]
When was the last time you had anything to do with Shakespeare?

So your idea of Shakespeare is... teenagers awkwardly spouting lines they hardly understand with about as much passion as a deck chair and all of the charm of a root canal.
Just a guess.

[He sounds amused - probably because he can't work up the energy to be upset about the new gods any longer.]

Art requires tension, of course, but I'm not about to put people in front of a firing squad.
[ Pause. ]
I can't do that, right?

I'm just glad it seems like no one's making much of a fuss about me taking over the theatre space. I'm fine without firing squads and court marshals.
But you don't think they'll try and shut us down or anything, right?
no subject
But I am glad that the firing squads are on hold for your play's run. I look forward to attending - as a member of the audience, of course.

[ He shakes his head with a deep sigh. ]
And we will be happy to have you.

I'd love to help! As you can tell, I'm quite the makeup artist.
