Lady Rodent wanted to see a play for Mothers' Day.
The people sitting beside us were so fat they oozed over the armrests. It was like returning to the womb, so warm and moist. Most of the audience was obese. Most of the cast was, too. Even two of the ballerinas were obese. One of the ballerinas was a dude with a beard. He wasn't a ballet dancer, he was a ballerina. Another cast member was a woman with a shaved head that was covered in tattoos. A dude sitting in front of us was wearing a dress. |

It sounds like you bought tickets to a show put on by a LGBTWTFBBQ theater company.
Do your research next time. |

When I was much, much younger I worked in technical theater (e.g. building sets, setting lighting etc.)
Freak show didn't even begin to describe it. And that was in the 80s, I can't imagine how over the top it must be now. |

Yesterday, we were traveling through Green Bay. A town if 100k.
My wife wanted her rings cleaned and thought we should stop at the Jewler. She told me to park by the food court entrance. Nothing good ever happens at mall food courts. Fuck that......grab the spare mag before heading in. Then she has to use the restroom in the food court. My head is on a swivel. Between the lack of English, the filthy people shuffling about, the pieced faces and purple hair, the crazies arguing with thin air and everyone dressed like a pajama party with money to blow on cheap fast food, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I couldn't imagine going to a theater anymore. I gave up air travel 6 years ago for the same reasons. |

I haven't been there in about 3 years. Wow....things have definitely changed. I always came in from the other entrance and avoided the food court. No need to ever go back. Green Bay used to be chock full of harmless Frankie MacDonald level retards in all their coloquial charm, wearing their green and gold all the time and nor being able to finish a sentence without saying , "Go Pack, Go!". I do a little work in GB, but on the edge of the main city. Just watching the news, it has greatly changed as has every town in America over 40k in population. And yes, Theatre people have always been kind of "off". Same as other artsy shit. I did Drum and Bugle Corps on the world level. Some others here have as well. You can't be involved in that and not be accepting to some degree. We can accept some gay dudes or whatever, it's part of the realm, but today's freaks really rub your face in it. |

The Tonys are a scam. There are only 33 theaters on Broadway. 8-10 are running shows that have run for years, even decades. Some are running shows for over a year so they don't qualify. So you have maybe 15 - 20 newish shows and they are then split into revivals, plays and musicals so maybe 10 musicals and 5 each plays and revivals.
There are 5 nominations for each category. Unless it is bombing, your show WILL be "Nominated for a Tony!" and you have a decent chance of winning one. So a lot of crap gets nominated. It is almost a law that 20% of the main characters and 30-50% of the actors and actresses need to be gay. It's a wasteland. But you can make a lot of money at it. |

Years ago I had some spare time and was a supernumerary (basically an extra) in a Dallas Opera production of Salome.
The guy who played John the Baptist, an insanely talented opera singer whose name escapes me, was big into firearms. I want to say he was from Seattle, but he had brought his AR-15 with him and we ended up going to a local range. That was the first time I shot an AR. The only people in that production that I recall being openly, flaming gay were the male dancers. |

Not really an Opera guy, but if you wanted to experience the building you pretty much had to see a show, and those old school opera houses are a show in their own right. |

Way back in college in the 80's one of my house-mates got in with a local theater group. We went to a couple performances - I was a bit shocked at how gay they were.
The housemate didn't give any indication of being gay himself - he seemed to do well with the ladies. He's actually the reason I met my wife - she was friends with his buddie's sister. This winter I had a bit part in a tiny local historical film - the only thing like that I've ever done. There were a few obvious gays and lesbians, especially on the crew. I didn't notice any trans. The crew was generally ok. The talent was pretty strange to me - clearly theater people and not the kind of people I'm used to. It was a fun experience. I'm not interested in doing it again. |

The crazy/hot matrix increases as you level up (the freaks get weeded out in the lower levels). Yeah, there are a bunch of weirdos, but there are also a bunch of very intelligent, hot, and crazy people in the biz--and it's a very small world once you are in it. Ballerinas take this to an even higher level. |

I came across an ad for a small, local “performing arts and cultural center” on FB. On every one of their show flyers, they were sure to post prominently that they are still requiring N95 or equivalent masks for entry.
 Absolutely ridiculous - but when you consider the intersection of mentally ill, virtue-signalers, and the pasty, unhealthy types that are usually involved in these ventures, it makes more sense. |

Full disclosure. The wife and I have had season orchestra and ballet/opera tickets for years. Gone to hundreds.
Yes,there is an odd one here or there, but it's nothing blatant. What I think you guys are seeing is the difference between amateur and professional. Your local theater group is more than likely a den of loons where your local Kinko's manager thinks he can do King Lear. |
