Yep, especially with everything included like Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars. Ah yes, so true. A few stage props changing on stage and it's a completely different place. It's quite magical.
That's a good opportunity. I've only drawn Mickey and Minnie once which was that Chinese New Year one I did.
Yep, and National Geographic and the Disney+ originals as well. That's one of the things I love about theatre -- being live, with no way to edit out mistakes, it's still able to accomplish the same things that would normally be done with numerous movie sets and special effects.
That one was really adorable. You did a great job making them look the way they do in the newer shorts.
Ah yes, those as well. I think my dad will like the National Geographic content. Agreed. That's something I've always wondered about theater, especially when they have to deal with mistakes live on stage. From your perspective and your experience, how have people coped with mistakes on stage?

Thanks. It was really fun to draw them.
I really enjoy that too. My family's always watched a lot of nature docs. Oooh, onstage mistakes. That's always scary, but the most important thing is to keep going, no matter what. Like they say, the show must go on...it ain't just a saying, it's a rule. I haven't witnessed too many mishaps, but luckily the ones I have seen were covered up pretty easily. The good news is that the audience doesn't know what's supposed to happen, so even if everyone in the cast realizes the mistake, the audience might never know. And in some cases, if it's painfully obvious that something went wrong, the best thing to do is stay calm, stay in character, and improv if necessary to incorporate the mistake into the scene in a way that's entertaining to watch. It's tricky, but it usually turns out alright. Luckily I've never dealt with any huge mishaps, although I have had things go wrong before.

You're welcome.
That's pretty cool. I'm not really into nature documentaries, unless it's about an animal I like such as penguins. Ah, that makes sense. I didn't know the phrase "The show must go on" was an actual rule in theater. I suppose the story must be finished. That's right, the audience doesn't know anything beforehand, so pretty much anything goes, unless you already know the story going in. Improv sounds hard to do, especially when you hope the rest of the actions afterward are consistent. That's good. It must've been nerve-wracking when something didn't go as planned, but also nice when you recover somehow.

Ah, I see. Penguins are pretty cute, and there's a lot of documentaries on them. Heheh, it's definitely like an unspoken rule. Improv can be very tricky, and luckily I've never done it onstage, but we've done lots of improv exercises in theatre to help us get better at it. As for what you said on being consistent-- I remember the first show I was in, when I was 10, someone mixed up the names of two cereals and so for the rest of the play we had to keep consistently messing it up. xD Yep. In our most recent show I actually went onstage too early. TWICE. In my defense, the people onstage were having some problems and I couldn't pinpoint my cue, so I really had no idea when to go on. But still, it was a bit embarrassing. XD

Agreed. I remember a penguin documentary when I was really young and I really liked it just cause I liked seeing the penguins. That makes sense. I think it's the same with orchestra as well, although I've been lucky to have been in an orchestra concert that we didn't badly mess up on. That's good that you get some kind of improv practice. Is it just putting you into a scenario and you have to make it up the rest of the scene without spending too much time thinking about it? Wow. That makes things a lot harder, but still really cool that you and the other stage members adjusted the rest of the performance to make it consistent. Oh, that's tricky to work with. Either way, I'm sure you did the best you could with what you had.

Yeah. I really love seeing penguins in aquariums or zoos, they're so cute to watch. I would agree, seeing as it's still a type of performing that you don't want to quit in the middle. We did it a few different ways -- most times we'd be in groups and be given a scenario to carry on. A few times the teacher gave individual people a role to step into, and within a second we had to start talking...I only did that once that I recall, but it was fun. Yup. Thankfully, the cameras recording our performance didn't pick it up -- or at least if they did, it was edited out thank yoouu so it could've been worse. Could've been immortalized in history.

Same with me, although I haven't been to the zoo in a very long time. Yep. Can't leave the audience hanging without an actual ending to the performance. That's really cool and sounds really fun. I've never done any improv before, but it also sounds like a really fun game to play as well. I have also done a few theater performances, but mainly because it was part of the elementary school curriculum. That's good. Mistakes may have been made, but not recorded. No one will know.

Me neither, although I've been really in the mood to go lately. It would be a fun game to play, even without the context of learning anything. Oh, really? I actually didn't know you'd done theatre. I guess if it was elementary school, it was a long time ago, but did you enjoy it? Yep, at least the audience hopefully forgot about it. Watching the scene back, it was actually really hilarious how it got messed up, so it's all good in the end.

Hopefully when it's safer to go to public places again the zoo will be open as well. Indeed. Good practice for quick thinking as well. I forgot I did some theatre as well. It was a grade-wide activity, so for example, in my 4th grade, we gathered all of the 4th grade classes together to put on a show about something we learned in our history lessons. I think I enjoyed being a part of it. I didn't have any significant roles, which was fine with me because I didn't have to memorize as many lines and I'm nervous on stage. The shows we did weren't incredibly sophisticated since it was in elementary school and we were all doing it even if we didn't have any theatre experience at all. Ah yes, hopefully they only remember the best parts of the show. Even though it may have gotten messed up, it's still a memorable moment worth sharing.

Yup. My mom and I were actually able to go shopping a bit today, it was fun to get out of the house. Ah, okay, that's cool! The historical shows sound really fun, although I guess it wasn't quite like Hamilton or Les Mis. I'm sure they were great shows though. ^-^ That's totally understandable. I was nervous in my first play as well, just more from all the preparatory work than actually being onstage. But I didn't do theatre for a few years after that, because it was too stressful for me to handle at the time.
To keep this Disney related-- if you could perform in one of the Disney Broadway shows, which one would you choose?

That's great! I've only been out of the house to do some grocery shopping a few times. Yeah, they were simple and cheesy, but still fun to do. I kind of miss doing them in elementary school now. Ah, I understand. I guess it just takes some time to get used to and some time to be willing to try again, which is perfectly fine.
*Searches up the Disney Broadway musicals to see what there is to choose from* I'd probably want to do Beauty and the Beast since it's my favorite story and the music is fun and catchy too. What about you? I'm guessing you'd like to be a part of The Lion King?
Well, one thing I didn't expect to be doing was participating in a High School Musical lip syncing video with my church friends. It was pretty epic and really fun, especially since it was supposed to be a sweet video for the graduating students in our group.

Beauty and the Beast would definitely be an awesome show to do. I actually haven't listened to the full soundtrack of the Broadway version, but I really should. What role do you think you'd want to play? Yesss, I'd love to be a part of The Lion King, or even a Jr version of it. It's just such a colorful and fun show with such great music.

That sounds so awesome!! XD Lip synching is more fun than actual singing, honestly.
then again that's just my opinion and probably just because I can't sing
