I think Theatre gets a bad rap because it's not in a great state these days, and many of you will think of 'theatre kids' and Hamilton before anything else.
However, it's a medium with a very radical history, and a lot of potential for interactive pieces that that can truly educate people about revolutionary practice and so on. I truly think it's overlooked.
If you'd be interested in a Theatre comm existing on hexbear then leave an upvote or a comment.
Bonus question: what's your favourite piece of Theatre that you've seen?

I don’t know about “favorite” but I think a lot about when I first saw Ragtime at a local summer playhouse: https://youtu.be/aCxbEm_CTfY?feature=shared
It was one of the first positive depictions of workers rights I’d ever seen, and as an added bonus pointed me towards communism. I later attended college for a BFA in musical theatre but I found myself ever more drawn to plays bc capitalism has sterilized most of the messages I want to be heard in modern musical theatre. I would love a comm! I’ll be the Adjunct Professor of Musical Comedy.
we did ragtime in highschol well one of the songs.
This one has a lot of radical potential. Really love this version, was it this song? https://youtu.be/Xmsy6w0r7q0?feature=shared
