[ENF] Naked in a Play

[Gnome72141]

Ah, Jen, you are in the midwest; much more conservative there. I remember I went to a friend's college play in MN. There was a nude scene, with the entire cast nude, but they were in bodysuits. That same play, done on the east coast by a community theatre...everyone was actually nude.

Where I went to college, the theater majors were expected to be nude if the part called for it, regardless. If you didn't like it, you didn't be a theatre major. They all changed together, too. I did music for one play where I was at a piano behind stage, and everyone did quick changes behind stage, right in front of me. Talk about distracting!!! Hard to play a tough piano part when you have 5 sets of breasts in front of your face.

I hear what you are all saying, so I'll probably just have to let it go. But this isn't a case of me being conservative because I'm from the Midwest. Trust me on that. When a director misleads a college freshman about a role and then expects her to be fully nude in front of students and faculty, I think that's taking advantage of the student. This isn't professional theatre - it's college. And if you saw the regular costume shes going to wear, you'd be on my side. And to the person who wants me to post a photo of my friend, that was a joke, right?!

Have you actually voiced your concerns to your friend? If so and she still wants to go through with it then in my opinion all you can do is support her, especially if it doesn't go the way she thinks it should. As a friend I think that's all you can do.

This thread is much ado about nothing(!). Nothing erotic here at all, try an agony aunt at one of the papers please.

I was asked to do the music for some kind of modern theater once. The girls weren't completely naked. Some were clothed normally, but some wore transparent costumes that revealed a lot. Two of them (one extremely hot) undressed completely during the play. I did not know that and could not see it from my booth. So I was pretty shocked when I came together with them after the first rehearsal. They were still naked and were very comfortable with it.

To the guy who said this isn't erotic enough, I just have to laugh. It's not erotic because it's real and not made up. It's not supposed to be something from Penthouse Forum! I guess I posted this on the wrong site. For those who care, we had our first dress rehearsal this week and all the cast could talk about was my friend's boobs, and this is BEFORE she's done the nude scene. For the first dress rehearsal, the director formally announced to everyone she would be doing the scene naked but she didn't actually do it yet. But as I mentioned before, her costume is so skimpy it doesn't leave much to the imagination. Some of the otehr costumes, including mine, are kinda like that too, but I have a different body build, so it look ok on me. I hate to see the attention my friend is getting and I think it's upstaging the whole show. But I'm thinking my opinion doesn't matter much now.

We appreciate you coming back even though this forum isn't quite what you originally thought. Please keep us updated.

There are assholes everywhere, and this site is no exception.
There are also people who take other peoples concerns seriously and offer constructive comments.
One advantage to the Internet is that it is easy to totally ignore assholes.
