I'm so glad someone brought up this topic on the forums because Caelia is an aspiring playwright (I've already started jotting down play ideas and started drawing up a script for a piece) and I would love to get her involved in the theatre community. Â I have a lot of plans for her to start writing her plays and where to take inspiration from.
One of my ideas was to have her do interviews (memories, recollections, what have you) with people and write down their stories. Â Eventually people's memories/feelings/experiences about a world pre- and post-Calamity world would be developed into a play much like "Fires in the Mirror" by Anna Deavere Smith which is composed of monologues from various view points on both sides of the event (we could even get some Garlean opinions on the Calamity), as well as eyewitness accounts of it happening and the ripple effects it caused in the world/community. Â The problem is that I need people to volunteer to meet Caelia and give her their testimony (I hate using that world so much, but that's the best way to describe it). Â Another problem is some people might feel like their characters would refuse to open up to someone taking down their story even if it's to help or benefit others (in this case, Caelia would want it any funds from ticket sales to go towards helping orphanages and orphans from the Calamity).
There are some other ideas including some more family friendly plays that I'm coming up with but we'll see. Â I don't know if you have room for Caelia in your group, but if you do, consider her signed!
