[Juno_Ax]

THE MELANCHOLY COMPANY

-------------------------------------------------
Borne from tragedy and disaster,
Those in company can master
Theirs and thy melancholy
By amusing thee with our folly!
-------------------------------------------------

THE MELANCHOLY COMPANY hereby presents themselves as a troupe of actors, dancers, musicians, and the like. Found in the heart of Tambry at the former location of the dance academy, our mission is to inspire and provide entertainment to the people of Altera.

We are currently operating out of the Tambry Teidmalum Theater, but are open to other locations/events to perform.

------------------------------------------------

Currently we are accepting auditions at our location in Tambry! Please send Greyson a letter via post or by bird if you are interested, or stop by the Company headquarters. We love to meet new people and are interested in any talent you might have that would be suitable for audiences of all ages. You might be interested in us if you desire:

A family-like atmosphere
Free housing and a place to practice your talent
Pay on occasion (we don't necessarily perform for pay, it depends on the situation)
Amazing and entertaining

------------------------------------------------

We are currently looking for (but are not confined to):

Actors
Playwrights
Musicians
Stage Hands
Dancers
Storytellers
Illusionists
Acrobats
Animal Trainers
... Or anything remotely astounding/helpful for the theatre.

*nod,nod*

Here is the link to the theater's thread. There is still a bit of building to be done but your welcome to rp there, its all good.

Mostly we just needa put in seats and make it look preety. But i've been really busy with um.. *Cough*

Yeah, glad to have a resident group using it.

 

[Landem]

i love this so much!!
if i ever have an account free definitely gonna sign up a character!

 

[BarbarianGaming]

Would this be seen IC as a poster advertisement at the crossroads?

 

[7632]

Fully support this. As Bal said, the theater is ready for events!

 

[Juno_Ax]

Yes Barbarian, this is an IC poster/announced to the public. And Antilogy, let Greyson get rid of this bounty and we'll start putting events together

 

[Pirapple]

I have a free account, and I'd love to sign up a character for a stagehand. I do it in real life... why not here? One suggestion would be to add riggers, it's a big job that would really impress people in the theatre.

 

[7632]

We purposefully left room behind the theater (or under) for a backstage, should it be desired to be constructed.

 

[Juno_Ax]

Do elaborate @Pirapple
And a backstage would be quite awesome to have!

 

[Pirapple]

Okay, so in people terms, a rigger is someone that runs lines across the stage in order to "fly" stuff in and out. The systems use many of the same properties as sails on a boat, which many people in the time period might know how to use. A rigger would know a lot of knots, and how to properly counterweight scenery and curtains coming in from above. It's just a bunch of connected pulleys that allow a person to change scenery quickly. I'd show you an example, but I won't be back at work until tomorrow.

 

[Archbishop]

I'm so excited by the possibility of getting dressed up in a fancy ill-fitting tux for my dwarf and watching from a skybox to watch a production.


Also:

There is still a bit of building to be done but your welcome to rp there

It's you're @Balatro , you're.
Edit: Still love you regardless Bal, improper grammar and all.

 

[Juno_Ax]

Riggers would be most needed, then And I can't wait to see a dwarf in a tux.... O_O

 

[Balatro]

The back stage still needs work. Ill get to it. Theres also plans for huge ammounts of redstone for the riggers and techeys.

 

[Balatro]

Lighting, trap doors, Stage effects. the whole 9

 

[Pirapple]

I can help with the design of that if you want, I designed a basic theatre for a drafting class.

 

[Juno_Ax]

You guys are awesome... it also helps that I was the crew director for our schools play yesterday, so this should be a breeze...

 

[Pirapple]

Finally finished with my show stuff from the past three months as well, so I have some time if you want to get on that planning and stuff. Skype user is epikskyper (lemme know who you are though).

 

[Balatro]

I also do theater, improv comedy. Xp

I worked as tech in college though

 

[Juno_Ax]

... Annnnnnd Greyson's back! Huzzah, the bounty is as
good as cleared, and now she's ready to focus on the troupe!

We are definitely still looking for members/performers, so please inquire!​
