OOC: Casting Heads-Up.

[stickittotheme.livejournal.com]

Behind the cut, as I'm nice and don't muddle your f-lists, you'll find the current list of casting plans for Fandom High's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I'm giving you a heads-up so you know what your character is in for.

Yes, the list at the bottom is characters not actually in Shakespeare's script. Don't ask me how we'll incorporate them. But the poor three suckers in charge of the play now will, somehow. At this point, if you meant for your character to be involved acting wise, and you missed the audition-y chance of today, Comment here up until, say, 8 am CST Monday. You'll get your very own invented role of my choosing.

Theseus - Hamlet
Egeus - Alanna
Lysander - Blair
Demetrius - Logan
Philostrate - MacBeth
Quince - Pip
Snug - Krycek
Bottom - Xander
Flute - Jack Harkness
Snout - Anakin
Starveling - Shep
Hippolyta - Pippi
Hermia - Nadia
Helena - Callisto
Oberon - Lee
Titania - Parker
Puck - Zero
Peaseblossom, - Molly
Cobweb, - Lana
Moth, - Allie
Mustardseed - Quinn

Changeling Boy - One-Eared Gremlin Baby Jesus
Tooth Fairy - Rose
Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man - Ed Elric
Jaime Sommers, the Bionic Woman - Sakura
Lobster - Cally
Drunken Pirate - Kawalsky
Kickass Ninja - Vala
Chuck Norris - Han Solo


The cast list will be posted ICly on Monday. Huzzah.
EDIT: Oh, and Here is a full-text link of the play, just to be extra nice and helpful.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

This can not end well. *dies of laughter*

[swerval_zero]

GREMLIN BABY JESUS.

The fight over the Changeling Boy will be easily resolved. NO ONE WANTS HIM.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

You do realize at some point Alanna's personality will force her to make a speech again her own character?

And now I'm imagining GBJ in a game of hot potato.

[fh_jackass]

Hee! That'll be a nice twist.

[swerval_zero]

I seriously can see this scene in my head, with the actors reciting the scene as written while playing hot potato (like Alanna said) with Gremlin Baby Jesus.

Titania: The fairy land buys not the child of me. *tosses baby at Oberon, who tosses it at Peaseblossom, who tosses it at Puck. His mother was a--DON'T GIVE IT TO ME--votaress of my order...

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

THOU BOYFRIEND STEALING ACORN!

:D

[nadiathesaint]

THOU PAINTED MAYPOLE! I AM NOT SO LOW THAT MINE NAILS CANNOT REACH INTO THINE EYES!

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Your hands than mine are quicker for a fray,
My legs are longer though, to run away!

[We so have to have a cafight.]

[nadiathesaint]

I am amazed and know not what to say!

. . .

You, ladies, you whose gentle hearts do fear
the smallest monstrous mouse that creeps on floor--

Wait, no, wrong character. . . .

[this will be soooo much fun.]

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Cal as one of the romantic leads?

Oh, that's going to work out well.

*evils*

[upforachase.livejournal.com]

OMG THERE IS A LOBSTER? A CALLY!LOBSTER?

*pulls Cordy out, fast!*

not really, but DAMN YOU ARE EVIL. & brilliant omg.

i seriously love you.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

ARR.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Harkness in drag.

My life is complete.

[fh_jackass]

So playing a "romantic lead" opposite Xander - no fun there? :)

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

You know, I actually hadn't taken it that one tiny step farther into that.

Oh, this is going to be FUN.

[fh_jackass]

Yay! Logan's going to be horrified.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Queen of the Amazons!

Awwww yeah!

Who's the costume designer? (http://flickr.com/photos/strongestgirl/tags/midsummers/)

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Queen of the Amazons, and you're marrying Hamlet. You should probably meet up with the Danish Duke of Athens before you get hitched to him. ^-^

[swerval_zero]

I think someone said that Hippolyta is an Angry!Punk. Of course, this may have changed while I wasn't paying attention. :)

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Orly?

Okay, I can work with that.

Hopefully we can work FM's Devil's Dance Floor into the production some how. :)

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

Duke of Athens! Woohoo!

Hee, I love the list. I can't wait to see how all the extra characters get worked into the already busy plot.

Qunice: *lost his eye in an unfortunating carpentering accident*

[soldtoarmenians]

*three years in the future, resembles that remark*

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

*assures that, while it hurts, the eye-patch drives the girls crazy*

[soldtoarmenians]

Also it provides that perfect touch of verisimilitude when playing Shiver Me Timbers.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Lemme know when this is so I can get Johnboy in on this as a character of your choosing. ;)

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

*hjeaddesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

There is not enough flamewhiskey in the galaxy for this.


[[ooc: We're in because my writer is a sadist]]

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

*Fears Han's roundhouse kick*

Han Solo's tears could cure canser... To bad he never crys.

Han Solo doesn't go "Hunting". "Hunting" implies the possibility of failure. HAN SOLO GOES KILLING

The fastest way to a man's heart is Han Solo's fist.

Han Solo doesn't run kessle. Kessle runs from Han Solo.

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

I can see it now: father of the Bride.

I show up, kick everyone's ass, and haul Hippolyta back to her island to rule her amazons.


And Kessel is a place, kiddo.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Who say's I'm marrying him because he won the war? I kicked his ass Pappa. He has to marry me.

Yes, I am aware Kessel is a place, I also know you make it in 12 parsecs because you use a shortcut that nobody else will take and why nobody else takes it.

Sacrifices must sometimes be made for comedy me boyo. :)

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

Actually, that's post-EU fan-wanking.

The real explanation is that I was seeing how desperate they were. If they didn't call me on something so blatent, I could write my own ticket.

[janet_fraiser]

You're all insane. I adore you. :)

I have no time to get Janet involved in the acting stuff (rehearsals, etc., would take up too much of my time), but if there's some sort of tech crew or behind-the-scenes thing she could be mysteriously volunteered for, I would be glad to help.
