“ Why would musical theater be the only culture that resists newness? It doesn’t make sense. Bands become successes on tumblr. Where’s the tumblr of musical theater? [The problem is] older people are willing to pay for it, and they’re the same audience that’s not going to want something new. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’d rather go see our future than most musicals. The theater is simply not democratized in any way, and other art forms are.

Airspaniel? Moth? Lettersfromtitan? I believe this one’s on y’all.

I was gonna say… I mean I won’t lie, the barriers to entry re: theatre both as a patron and a creator aren’t low. I spend a lot of nights with spreadsheets these days, and I’m spoiled as an audience member who lives in New York and makes copious use of industry discounts.
I’m also that uptight person who loves classic musical theater. I wish people would stop wearing jeans to shows and that they’d bring back Camelot. But I’m also the person who thinks — regardless of my very mixed feelings about stunt casting — that seeing people sleeping outside for rush tickets to shows like H2$ is an awesome moving thing. I was never part of the Rent rush ticket scene, but that was a youthful fan community. And man, I met amazing people when I used to rush tickets for Boheme on Broadway.
Anyway….
Look, Airspaniel just had to teach me how to set up a Facebook event to promote the show while I was on the phone with a friend who’s out in L.A. related to the current Team Starkid tour. Do you know how many kids I saw on Tumblr last summer making and selling art to try to get to those shows?
The future of musical theater exists in lots of different forms and it’s on Tumblr. But its newness may, in many cases, be so hybrid and so of the Tumblr and YouTube culture that it’s hard to recognize.
TL;DR: make all the things! love all the stuff! and someone go grab fuckyeahmusicaltheater.tumblr.com right now!

The Sun Will Cry With Envy
I’m fascinated by the idea of NYADA being the place that helps Rachel break out of her immaturity. Like it’s this shell she’s trapped in that she can just smash the hell out of.
What happens when she’s in a place that gives her actual feedback? Surrounded by teachers that cares less about her feelings and more about her talent? When there are other students who give her the kind of competition that will make her freak the hell out. Where she’s still Rachel Berry, but there are other stars who work just as hard to shine just as bright?
Because if Rachel rises to the challenge, and really uses NYADA I can’t help but feel like…Okay. I’ve heard Carmen Thibodeau described as being the Severus Snape of Glee teachers (It’s a compliment). Rachel isn’t quite that cold, but I wonder if she could pull off a Professor Mcgonagall? So, a little warmer, but no less talented.

Greg Rucka: Why I Write "Strong Female Characters"
Greg Rucka is AWESOME. Seriously, if you haven’t read his Queen & Country series, or Batwoman: Elegy, you are missing out. But in addition to be a fabulous writer, he also says stuff like this:
Gender isn’t simply a biological trait; it’s a societal one. The female experience is different from that of the male, and if, as a male writer, you cannot accept that basic premise, then you will never, ever, be able to write women well. A man walking alone through Midtown Manhattan at three in the morning may have concerns for his safety, but I promise you, it’s a very different experience for a woman taking the same walk, and it’s different again for a man wearing a dress. Think about it. That’s a societal factor, and it’s a gendered one, and this is not and can not be subject to debate. If you’re looking to argue that sexism is a thing of the past, that the world is gender-blind, you’re not only wrong, you’re lying to yourself.
I want to send this to every comic book writer/movie producer/director….EVERYONE.

THIS GIVES ME FEELS
Yes, someone please write about Glee and class.
I really want to write about Glee and class.
I’m also terrified to, and frustrated about how to, because what kinds of words to use is part of the issue of talking about class.
(I learned a lot about class by leaving the poor rural area I grew up in and attending a relatively well-off liberal arts college. How I learned to talk about class, and my experience of the things those words are used to talk about, are two fairly different things.)
(I have also learned a lot about class by looking at what kinds of things people point to as unrealistic about Glee.)

“ The plain fact is that the planet does not need more “successful people”. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of every kind. it needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and human, and these qualities have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.
