Role Playing

I haven't been on Giant Bomb as much as usual as of late, but I have a good excuse. I've been rehearsing for a play. The play you say...? Dracula. I'm playing the role of Abraham Van Helsing. Last night was opening night and it was a horror story with some major technical problems with the lights, but tonight, with the help of a new light board, it went on without a hitch or glitch.
 
This is a different kind of community show for me. This is my 18th local production, but this one is being performed outdoors in an amphitheater. The play itself  " Dracula" was written by Steven Dietz in 1996 and follows pretty closely to the novel. The amphitheater is used for an outdoor drama in Valdese, North Carolina called "From this Day Forward". The story of how the Waldensian people came from Northern Italy under religious persecution to settle in Western North Carolina. 
 
I thought I would throw up some pictures. With such a large outdoor stage and hardly any budget, we used a somewhat minimal set, but the actors make it work like a charm.

For some reason, I thought this would involve Temple of Elemental Evil. Now I'm just disappointed with Mento, since you've surpassed his standards of you.

Awesome. Finally, a picture of the action! Is that a wire going from the bed to Dracula'a mouth?

Looking snappy Claude. You make those Belmont kids look like amateurs.

He's sucking her blood through a telephone?  
Glad you're having fun, looks like a cool play.
 
Also, your blogs fuck my mind. Are they attached to your profile? Or a dedicated page named Claude? MY MIND.

lol, that's great Claude, I never knew you were into amateur dramatics, I would have never have guessed...

The burgundy waistcoat looks good on you.

Cheers, fellow Thespian! Looks like a wonderful production!

I see you're wearing and holding a cross there... as a gamer and member of a non-religious internet forum i must give you a hard time over the cross wearing thing, and tell you that believing in God is retarded. 
Seriously though, that's one bad ass outfit dude.

when I saw role playin in ther tittle I thought that it has to be a good DnD game, but dramatics I would never even have thought of it. I wish you luck because it is somewhat stressfull.

@Claude: Nice, that style suits you man. You look like you are ready for...well, really any (vampire related) business, haha.

It's good that you play Tiger 12 on the 360, the PC version that I played is a real piece of crap. And Bastion is a fantastic game, have you beaten all the "challenges" yet? I really enjoyed rotating through all the weapons, it's totally worth it.

Is Dracula sucking her blood through a silly straw?

Real gentlemen use silly straws.

I already thought that first picture was pretty pimp but now that you've told me it was taken in the lady's dressing room? You suave bastard Claude.

My favorite cimbo for bastion is the spear and the carbine

Claude, there are two things I love in this world. One is video games, and the other is theatre. you just earned 1000 points of my respect.

Looks like it was an interesting show! :)

Best of luck to ya man. I loved taking theatre in High School. It's magical to be in as well as watch if you get the right cast and script.

Damn Claude, you look kick-ass.

You said role-playing. And this is a video game website.

You understand my initial confusion, yes?

Oh. And good for you. Good luck.

You kind of look like a younger Donald Sutherland in these. Looks awesome. 
 
Those poor Italians being bothered out by percussionists. Pesky percussionists, CURSES! (Just playing, you spelled persecution wrong haha =P)
