Yes! Oh, GOD Yes!

Thank you Dana Steingold for this amazingly rich tip!
This is a blog entirely devoted to hilarious production shots from local and college productions of shows. It's accompanied by hilarious commentary and drinking games associated with the pictures. Here's an example.

Take a shot of Ouzo if there's an overtly homosexual actor in an aggressively heterosexual situation.

Take a shot of Rum if a wacky Screwball Lady's facial expression seems to say, "Get a load of THIS guy!"

Take a shot of Southern Comfort if there's Equity leads in the foreground somehow oblivious to some minor character emoting real hard at them... while standing only three feet behind them.

"Why-oh-why do I love an amateur publicity shot from an undergrad production, or a regional theatre, or a high school play?
It's got to be in the faces. Everyone's pushing sincerity real hard-- you have to be, 110%-- everyone's hitting a peak while standing frozen in hyper "stagey" ways to fit in frame, forced into melodrama, posing in ways never seen in the show."

Pretty good. Though I think, with a few glasses of wine, the MP cast can beat these photos....
