So! First post. Welcome to my new blog. To introduce myself, my name is Massiel, I'm 17 and a junior in high school. I love writing, theatre, music, New York City, England, and art in general. I want to go to Oxford University and take a course in Orientalism.
The Rudesby Algorithm was actually an idea suggested by an old English teacher of mine who did the same thing when she was younger with her sister and friends (they were the Patched Fools) after I fell in love with the theatre thanks to performances by Propeller, an all-male Shakespeare British theatre company. They were performing both Twelfth Night and Taming of the Shrew at BAM on their world tour, and I quickly became obsessed. (Bunch of sweet guys, by the way.) I offered the idea excitedly to my best friend, Summer, and she agreed.
It all started from thre. We decided on a name (we grabbed a dictionary and called out words that sounded nice), a production (Twelfth Night), and a test project (Summer's own play "The Not-So-Lovely Tale of Strawberry Fructose".) We're still getting the cast finalized for Twelfth Night, which will be rehearsed in a nearby park and eventually put on in mid-to-late September. (We've not fixed a date nor have we gotten a venue, which is why the date's iffy.) As it is, we're more focused on Strawberry, because it'll be performed before the school year ends, so for a while, this blog will focus more on that. I'll also sprinkle in a bit of other things I'm working on (teaching myself how to play the guitar, practicing my piano, my writing.)
While I can't speak for Summer, I cheerfully dedicate the company to Dr. Sara Solberg, Emma Solberg, and the entire Propeller cast. This sounds cliche, but I probably would have simply enjoyed theatre rather than loved it if it weren't for their influnces.

I so respect the dedications, but on my part, I'd also like to dedicate it to the Lion, the Witch, the Wardrobe (I'm calling the chick who made the props that because it's convinient), and Johnny and the Fairy. :D Yay. Oh, and the director guy.
Because otherwise, I wouldn't care so much about theatre.
If we're going to do that, I might as well dedicate it to David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Billie Piper, and Johnny Depp.
i second johnny depp. and single matsujun, kyo, and like, everyone else we love.
