Bad Play Project

I love theater. I especially love acting, but right after that comes a good play. Here in Provo, there is a community theater called the New Play Project. What they do is they give new playwrights the opportunity to have their plays acted out on stage for a first time. Well, some times, the plays that some people wright are just down right bad. A while ago the founders decided to do a compilation of the worst plays that people have written over the past few years. After the plays were selected, the directors were given one day to select the cast and put the whole thing together. Most of the plays were pretty short. When you bought your ticket to watch the "Bad Play Project", as they called it, you were given a complimentary bag of projectiles. The way we were to vote for our favorite bad play was to cast our projectiles at the actors on the stage. It was probably one of the most fun experiences I have ever had as part of an audience. The play that won was Pride & Predigest & Telletubbes: The Musical. It was pretty painful. Oh, but it was so fun to boo and hiss and throw things onto stage. What a great Friday night!
