Party idea

[fings]

So yesterday I just found out about Jason Reitman's Live Reads, in which he picks a famous movie's script, and has a bunch of (other) famous actors come in, sit on a stage, and do a read through. (Some reviews: The Princess Bride The Big Lebowski Reservoir Dogs)

I thought this was cool and very clever.

Tonight though, I had an idea. I have theatrically-minded friends. Plenty of famous movies have scripts floating about the Internet. Why not put 1+2 together, and at some upcoming party, do our own read through of some movie?

Sounds like a fun idea! As long as no one drinks, of course. :-)

Yes! This is the kind of thing I've been wanting to do for years.

I would come to this party if I lived near by.

*sigh* I wish our upcoming party didn't coincide with your conference. Not that I would assume you guys could travel anyway. Sorry we had to move.

We need to pick a date and a script. I own a copy of the Rushmore script :).

Heck, I'd love to do a readthrough of "God" by Woody Allen. We did that show twice while I was puttering about the Drama Society, and we had a great time! (And show scripts are often relatively affordable.) :)
