Opening in a couple of weeks! A parody of certain dinosaur-themed movie, told from the perspective of the dinosaurs! Campy, timely, and fantastic music. Recommended for 18+ for language and content.
Full details at link in the OP.

UPDATE: The Starter Pack continues to grow! If you have started a new account that fits the parameters to be added to the Starter Pack, please send me a DM or follow me so I can find you. I regularly search for new accounts but depending on the group description, I may or may not find it on my own.

"What hands are here! Ha, they pluck out mine eyes.
Will all great Neptuneโ€™s ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red."

Very disappointed. Guess I always had hope that certian companies wouldn't bow to hate. I should know better.

I created this one a couple years ago. Tucumcari, NM is my dad's hometown. You can see Tucumcari Mountain in the background.

Researching family #history and this was part of the Q&A on the Deputy Warden's Examination Sheet when my Great Grandfather was committed to #Stillwater State #Prison in #Minnesota.

Answer: "Circumstances."

If individual theatre artists or arts reporters/bloggers have a separate "professional" account where they only post about their theatre work or reporting, respectively - I'm fine with adding those.
Thanks, all.

Also I'm trying to keep it industry-focused and if I start adding personal accounts, I'm concerned that the theatre specific posts will get overwhelmed by personal posts.

25.01.2025 17:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

When it comes to personal accounts, I think I'm going to have to decline. There is a limit to how many accounts can be included in a Starter Pack and I'll hit the limit pretty fast if I add every personal account for someone connected the to the local theatre scene.

25.01.2025 17:07 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

However, because the MN theatre/performance presence on BlueSky is still quite slim, I'm adding some of these accounts for the time being, but plan to do some refining down the road in the hopes that more specific Starter Packs can be created.

25.01.2025 17:06 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I encourage other more specialized performance groups to start their own Starter Packs. Not because I want to be all gate-keepery over a definition of theatre, but I feel as though it would be beneficial to offer users more defined Starter Packs to suit their interests.

UPDATE: I've received several requests from folx asking if they can be included in the Minnesota Theatre starter pack - individual theatre artists (personal accounts), dance companies, burlesque groups, Comedy/improv groups, individual arts reporters (personal accounts), etc.
