Just imagine what a callback these scenes will be when Armand stares at Lestat on stage again, only that this time he'll see him not as an actor but as a rock star.

Oh shit, this page is still around? My Technical Theatre: Props teacher at Sheridan College in 2000 was one of the creators of that site.

So, yes, very well researched because a LOT of making props is... well. Sticking random materials together. Especially lightweight materials painted to look like heavier materials.

PS: Don't ignore "use in well ventilated areas" warnings.

something you don't learn until you get really far into the making and tinkering life is that there's no such thing as "glue" really. there are so many kinds of substances that stick other substances together and they are all very different and if you just go look at the adhesives aisle in the hardware store the packaging never actually tells you anything useful. it's like "this is SUPER T-REX POWER GLUE" and the fine print says "good for use on wood metal and plastic". okay. but WHICH PLASTICS MY GOOD BITCH,

because SURPRISE, there's no such thing as "plastic" either. every kind of wood is basically the same on a chemical level, but the only thing every plastic has in common is "some of its molecules are long" and that is NOT a quality that determines how things stick together.

I just ordered some stuff I hope will permanently stick a circuit board to a steel sheet and withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees. by the way circuit boards are made of epoxy-bound woven glass cloth which is cool as hell but what the fuck do you glue that with? can any of the 12 kinds of adhesives I currently own do that? no of course not. if I want to stick two pieces of acrylic together so hard they become watertight to a depth of 3000 metres I have some shit that does that, but it does literally nothing else.

anyway. once you start learning how many kinds of sticking things together there are, the people at 3M start to seem like witches and I don't know if they're the kind we can trust with that level of arcane knowledge

This is the opening number from my debut musical, Fantasmagoriana, about the summer Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein. If you want to see the full show, it'll be streaming on my Patreon early next spring!

You want to know something I wanna see?? Simon with a Broadway actress reader. Like yea, the ballet ones are nice and all. But I want to see him with a theater kid who managed to make her dreams come true. I wanna see him getting excited with her whenever she gets her dream role in a play/musical. I wanna see him be there for her every night that he can when he's not deployed, a fresh bouquet in his hands. I wanna see his reactions to some of the costumes and makeup she had to wear for a role, especially if she lands a role like Elphaba in Wicked or Fiona in Shrek: The Musical and almost her entire body needs painted. I wanna see him watch her practice her lines and songs in the living room, script in hand, and belting the lyrics. Yea, ballet is nice and all, but I wanna see him with a theater kid.

I never got to be a theater kid in school (my school was too small), and I swear this would heal something in me.

Perfect movie. In every sense of the word. 100000/10
