"Absurd theatre people around the world unite!"
Now, if you don't already know, you're probably asking yourself "Ok...now what the heck is the AFoA?" The AFoA is the Absurdist Foundation of America. We are a group of friends around the world who met online mostly through Yahoo!'s the On Broadway chatroom, and also through a Yahoo! theatre club (now deceased, and most of the AFoA members would rather it not be mentioned anyways). The AFoA members all share at least one thing in common--we love theatre! Favourite Broadway musicals of Absurdists include (but are by no means limited to) Andrew Lloyd Webber's Phantom of the Opera (though there is a general dislike of ALW himself--the money-grubbing...*ahem*...*smiles sweetly*); Boublil and Schönberg's Les Misérables, Miss Saigon, Martin Guerre ; Frank Wildhorn's Jekyll & Hyde and The Scarlet Pimpernel ; and various others.
How can you tell who's an Absurdist (or if you're Absurdist material)? Well...here's a little list I came up with. You Know You're An Absurdist When...
If you are an Absurdist and have something to add onto this list, just email me at blueroses@pagancities.com with the subject "Absurd List" and I'll add it ASAP.
Fine! Leave us! *sniffle* Go back home!
