When was the last time you saw a play.

Um, I saw a play-esque thing on May 30th at school..it made Shakespeare funny..that's always good..It was during school too which was a plus..
And I saw a musical thing at school as well on a Friday night at the beginning/middle of May..Guys and Dolls..it was really good.

A couple of years ago.
Too bad I remembered. I so badly wanted to say "I don't remember"

So long ago I can't remember-definitely more than five years ago. It was several times with a neighbor to see Phantom of the Opera.

I am lucky, I live in one of the few areas outside of NYC where live theater is a dynamic and rewarding experience; I treasure that and try to see as much theater as I can. The last play I saw was a local production of "The History Boys" and it was really, really good.

In between 'last couple months' and 'couple years ago'. I saw Death Of A Salesman last year. I was meant to see Measure For Measure earlier this year, and a month ago, when I was just getting into Beckett, I found out Waiting For Godot had been on at the Central Library theatre in February

About 4 years ago

You know, this is my answer. We went to "We Will Rock You" earlier this month. I'm assuming, you know, that musicals count. I also watched the play that my daughter helped write, direct, and acted in (she had three lines) last week. It was short, but very cute.

about 2 years ago, I guess.... there's a local place that does them and we tried to get into it, but ended up not liking it enough... we did see one good thing, though. I like plays, but I'm picky about them too.

More than 5 years.

It was horrible. I went to my ex's family's church with them for a Christmas play their young son was in.

He played Satan, a very scary one. In a Baptist Christmas play.

I saw Hamlet with my ex-boyfriend a couple of years ago. I really enjoy going to the theater, I wish it cost less.

I think it must have been last spring--April or May (2007, I mean).

Four years ago?

Too long It was probably an outdoor performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream (so not inside a theatre!) in the summer of 2005. I love seeing plays, but I never went in Liverpool and the main theatre is closed for refurbishment where I am now.

I really wanted to see the History Boys. The original production was on in London while I was in Oxford, and there were often cheap student tickets available on short notice from the National Theatre for various plays - but I was in the middle of my finals I did see the film though - I thought it was great, but I imagine the staged version was better.

well, this local production was good but it didn't hold a candle to the movie really.

bleh
It's been years. Do not care for them. I have seen one or two that were ok, maybe even liked it, but most of them I've seen was a painful experience.

Only the baptists would put satan in a christmas play...that is so tacky.

I agree.

I don't mean to pigeon-hole or be judgmental... but damn, I hate the baptists.

They use xmas to instill more fear into their children.

where's the love

My love? It flew out the window when I lived in the baptist bible belt and I was a witch because I owned a deck of tarot cards.

I still love everyone else though.

NO! NOT YOU! I meant "where is the love in the baptists christmas plays?" OMG, I can see how the print without proper use of emoticons can go horribly wrong!.

I wasn't sure which way you meant it, but I wanted to be clear on why I felt how I felt about them... just in case.

Yikes. I about hurt myself on that one

Yikes. I about hurt myself on that one

wait a minute..."why I felt how I felt about them..?" what is that!"

Ha ha

I don't know. what?
I'm high and you're making me paranoid

k

I have never seen a play before

within 3 months; the move has been a little hectic.

My idol....... never seen a play...?! Oh, but you must! In fact, I'm forcing you!
*sends you tickets to a dozen plays in your area*

Since I volunteer at the theatre in my area I've seen quite a few a million times each!!! Now I have the lines memorized!!!

Godspell, The Heart's Desire, Ragtime, The Imaginary Invalid, and Hot Mikado

for me already

They just want to put the fear of God into people

You are lucky and very fortunate to volunteer at such a place sounds wonderful to me

From what I've heard, just about every theatre in the country allows volunteers.... you should try it...

Really nothing around here and perhaps Grand Lake but that is only in the Summer months and just to far
to be driving like 50 miles and round trip is 100 miles and even Denver from here is a good 98 miles

Why should god scare people? I thought he loved you.

> Why should god scare people? I thought he loved you.

God does love us but this is just another way to get people running to God because they fear hell and do not
want to go there ( people scare other people to get them to believe )
God does not scare people no
This is the reason Fundamentalists Churches have somebody dressed as Satan the devil
or they have a fake gun and somebody in the play they pretend to shoot themselves in the head just like
suicide and they say you are going to hell
Hell is all they ever preach

I guess so. I don't like to be scared.

Last weekend. I see plays fairly regularly. Around here there are lots of places where you can see plays for a very reasonable price (less than $20, if not free). And July is the Fringe Festival, so I`ll be seeing *plenty* of plays then (at least 20, probably 25, in only 12 days).

Awwww

I think I'm going to see the Carmina Burana ( ) at the O2 in January, does that count?

It has been a long time, maybe twenty years; the Date festival has an open theater and an annual play with an Arabian theme. It goes on every year but I seem never to take the time.

A couple years ago. Funny, I've been thinking about how long it has been and been missing it.

Watched Avenue Q in London recently

Found out yesterday I'm going down to the Globe Theatre in October because they're doing Doctor Faustus... but I'm not sure if we're actually watching it, we might just be talking with them.
