Steel Magnolias | Robert Harling
post image

High tension moment,
the pain palpable — in the
end, laughter triumphs.

You had your chance, M‘Lynn,
to be the first to say I
slapped Ouiser Boudreaux! 👋🏻

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe @FashionableObserver I‘m not crazy, M‘Lynn! I‘ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years! 😅😅😅 4d
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 The lines in this movie: #solidgold! 💛💛💛 4d
FashionableObserver One of my favorite lines—which I alter and use all of the time: “…she worships the quicksand I walk on.” It‘s all just too good! One of my favorite movies/plays. My family was so obsessed, my little sister‘s name is Shelby Lynn! 4d
JenlovesJT47 @FashionableObserver that‘s so cool! And that‘s one of my fave lines, too — Clairee is the best and it‘s the way she says it that‘s so funny 😅 I‘ve had lines going through my head all day. “Don‘t know whether to scratch his watch or wind his butt” 😅 4d
AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🐝💝. 4d
FashionableObserver @JenlovesJT47 Yes! Miss Clare was a classic!! When she bought that radio station and named herself the color announcer…😩 “Would you call that grape or aubergine..?” 🤣 I. Cannot. 🤣 (edited) 3d
FashionableObserver @dabbe I use that line a lot, too! I swear, steel magnolias has a line for everything that you will encounter in life! 3d
JenlovesJT47 @FashionableObserver no one cares about that grape shit! 😅 lol I love how Ouiser just unashamedly checks out all the dudes in the locker room! 3d
dabbe @FashionableObserver 🩵🎯🩵 3d
FashionableObserver @JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I didn‘t get a chance to watch the other night. I‘m definitely spending some time with those ladies this weekend. Jen, I‘m so happy you posted about SM! ❤️ 2d

When I feel adrift, I remember Emily‘s words and they seem to shift everything into a perspective I can live with💔

Do you have something that pulls you back into the will to move forward?

Much Adoe about Nothing | William Shakespeare
post image

I could have caught up on the #CampLitsy25 read for discussion, but instead I went to a local OPS showing of the tagged. The actors do things as close to Shakespeare's days as they can - they do not rehearse, carry scrolls with their lines and cues, gender bend (but this is PDX so don't we all normally?), They also have a guy with a whistle who calls our lines when needed and stops everything when a plane goes overhead.

Blueberry Sounds like fun. 3w
Suet624 Fantastic! 3w
DebinHawaii That sounds like so much fun! 😆 3w

Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale | William Shakespeare
post image
Mehso-so

The Winter‘s Tale, by William Shakespeare (ca. 1610)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A paranoid tyrant destroys his family and friendships, but everything works out in the end.

Review: I‘m slowly working my way through Shakespeare‘s catalog, and have to say this was my least favourite so far. The plot depends on a wholly unmotivated turn by a main character, whip then disappears for the meat of his narrative arc, only to reappear in time for a happy ending. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday This means that we don‘t get to witness his character development, how he came to his repentance and grief over his actions and therefore narratively earn his happy ending. Shakespeare is Shakespeare, and there are some truly lovely speeches in here, as well as some fun comedic relief. But as a play, this didn‘t really cohere and so fell a bit flat for me. 4w
Graywacke I adore this play. But i get it 1d

King Lear | William Shakespeare
post image

The perfect night! No stars because the lawn performance we saw began at 5:30. But the evening was lovely- low 80s, breezy, sun with billowy clouds.This summer event has become a tradition for my former, several years retired, HS English co-teacher & me. We each brought picnic food to share & caught up with each other during intermission. 💜💜💜

Ruthiella What fun! 🤩 4w

#serenesaturdays @TheBookHippie

Tunes blasting, cleaning house (purging and getting in all the nooks and crannies) is oddly satisfying and calming.
Weird, right?

Sace Nope. Not weird. Cleaning soothes me too. I can‘t control much, but I can control the clutter, dust and mess. 1mo
Aims42 Not weird at all! It‘s so satisfying seeing the before and after of a deep cleaning session 🤗🧼🫧✨ 1mo
TheBookHippie I love it too!!!! 🫧🧹🧽🧼 1mo

StaceGhost Yay! My friend is a member of the Virginia Blackfriars rep 1mo
Lcsmcat @StaceGhost Cool! It was an excellent performance. Did they have a role last night? 1mo
StaceGhost @Lcsmcat no, he‘s on vacation. But he directed a version of winters tale once and it was really good. I bet their show was better but I won‘t tell him that! How did they do the bear? 1mo
Lcsmcat @StaceGhost It‘s hard to describe, but several cast members had furry brown hoodies, and there was a bear head on a stick. They arranged themselves into a sort of bear shape with one holding the head. Then they broke apart and surrounded Antigonus (passing the head around amongst them) and dragged him offstage by his ankles. Visually more effective than that description. 🐻 1mo
StaceGhost @Lcsmcat that‘s brilliant! And no your description was perfect lol 1mo
