Who wants to put on a play?

OK, so this came up while we were on earlier, and I'm liking the idea more and more as I think about it.

Here's the deal: PinkDahlia is building an ampitheater where Maizan's old farm was. It's going to be pretty cool, I think. It's certainly coming along well so far.

Then i thought, if we have an ampitheater, why not do a play? Like, actually rehearse and run the show- with set times, people coming on, and so forth.

What we'd do is decide on the play- I'm thinking A Midsummer Night's Dream, cast it, and rehearse it. We'd use Vent to deliver our lines, but all the blocking of parts would be done in-game.

We'd rehearse it- like taking it seriously rehearse it, come up with the effects and props we need, then we do a live show streaming to Twitch and/or YouTube. The "director" would be the one doing the Twitch stream, the actors would be signed in and doing the parts on stage.

This could be a hell of a lot of fun- but if we do it, I'd really like to take it seriously- not in the sense of frowning, this isn't fun, serious business- but in the sense of this is fun and a real artistic endeavor that we should take seriously as such an endeavor.

So... who's down? we'd need to schedule rehearsals, and get some of our ducks in a row. Thoughts?
