[@HenryKathman]

Being a part of the company is an absolute joy and we appreciate all of the support you guys throw at us!

[@Eunacis]

I didn't recognize you without your beard.

[@leonlopez5704]

I'm faceblind. If you wear a hat, I can't recognize you.

[@pketr5]

You had me at "oldest boner jokes ever written". My bravery feels rewarded already.

[@Broadwaychica]

I am still so absurdly shocked that I'm a part of this. Everyone marking their calendars, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we can't wait to give you guys a hell of a show.

[@LemonScentedSharpie]

You sold me at a performance of 'lysistrata'! It's such an underrated play and I'm so excited to see your performance!

[@lymdrenntelvanni8054]

1 o'clock Sunday night? Count me in!!! (Aristophanes is sooo awesome!)

[@jc-kj8yc]

YEEEESSSSSSS!

[@TheMightyPika]

I'm just happy to see you're okay.

[@hellsingmongrel]

OH MAN, LYSISTRATA! We read that in college, and I was legit dying when I read it for homework that night! It's SO GOOD!

[@evilcaptainred]

I’m down! This sounds fun🤗

[@Jolezloba]

LYSISTRATA! Bravo!

[@ParasiticSun]

I'm so excited for this aaaaaaaaaaa I love lysistrata

[@saintdane05]

Kyle your eyeliner is sharp as hell

[@d3ada5tronaut]

HOLY SHIT YES I read Lysistrata for a course I took on Ancient Greece and I would LOVE to see a performance of it like this

[@samlogsdon]

So nice to have this released on my birthday!

[@Poopdahoop]

Wow! I love it! I mean, I'm sad that it happened in part because the larger live entertainment industry is collapsing, but honestly in 2020 you take what you can get.

[@Amyr28go]

You are marvelous, my good man. I will give your plays a watch, I promise.

[@kapru909]

Don't listen to them about the beard, Kyle, obviously you're doing it for masking. You look lovely, friend!

[@haphazardlark1502]

Oh, hell yeah!!

[@barbarrojaa.c.4761]

Kyle, I've been following your work since TGWTG and that first Shakespeare Month video you uploaded. I am not a theatre man, but I will subscribe and support you. Brave move and thank you for all of this.

[@moviemaestro800]

Go Kyle!

[@halfpintrr]

I love your new look Kyle! You look good! I will definitely watch it.

[@hannahmoran3660]

Such an honor to be a part of this company again!!!

[@bepkororoti8019]

That's pretty cool, good luck!

[@Moscato_Moscato]

I like the new look Kyle! I hope y’all’s theater shows keep going!!! I’ll probably listen to them like an audio play

[@tatehildyard5332]

Same here. He looks like a high school english teacher. I mean that as a compliment.

[@Demosthenes6666]

I'm clicking so fast, your Midsummer performance was so good I'm so excited!

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

Nice haircut, Kyle!

[@drlucyquine6773]

This is wonderful news! Your performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream was an absolute joy :)

[@uvaldopalomares8416]

Love you!

[@emkultra2349]

This is amazing and am very hyped

[@pinkcloudsnightlightbell]

Just watched your Westworld video- hoping to make it for the Lysis. stream!

[@robstewartstewart98]

Excited to experience my first greek play since reading Antigone in high school! Speaking of the ancient greeks, has anyone ever made a version of Midsummer Night's Dream where the supernatural characters are explicidly Zeus, Hera, and Hermies?

[@171QA]

This sounds like a crazy, amazing concept. :D

[@SonofMrPeanut]

As someone whose choir season has been reduced to one pop-up in December and one...sometime early 2021, a performance like this is exactly what I needed.

[@Garland41]

Did you get new glasses? They look nice.

[@johnpae9236]

I'm really excited to see how the new format will affect the performance

[@CaroleMcDonnell]

Congratulations! Just subscribed.

[@andrewweinstein7740]

Yay! The day After my birthday and my friend Alexandra is in the cast!!!

[@EmmaMcIntosh01]

Ooo I love the Ellen McLaughlin modernization! I did a monologue from it when i acted.

[@rachaelbao]

YAY! You look like me now! Welcome to the Hannah Gadsby look-a-like club. I am so proud.

[@operaanimelover369]

Kyle, I am so ecstatic for you! I hope to participate in one of your online plays. :D

I'd love to see King Lear one day! (No, not because I'm studying it in school whaaaaaa)

[@biblegirl]

Is your company (since it's all online and could theoretically connect with people anywhere) going to open up membership/auditions for future social distanced performances? I miss acting so much.

[@KyleKallgrenBHH]

Absolutely! Anyone from anywhere is welcome to audition in future productions.

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

Find us on Facebook ( /WorldsElsewhere) or email us (worlds[dot]elsewhere[dot]theatre[at]gmail[dot]com) to be added to the list to be notified about future auditions!

[@teslashark]

Chi-Raq is also Lysistrata, remember

[@tcshack701]

I haven’t listened to anything you said before clicking the link and subscribing to the new channel.

[@leonardomilani2985]

I just love everything about this project. I wish I was able to send my curriculum in time to audition to the company, but I’m finishing my last semester in college and my thesis that actually has to do with lisistrada but with comedy in general (and antifascism)

[@starsINSPACE]

this is me trying to remember if I read this play in college or not 😅

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

Chances are good it's *not* going to sound like the version you read ;)

[@LORDSofCHAOS333]

Hu okay.

[@rusted_ursa]

An announcement declaring a Worlds Elsewhere dedicated KZbin channel? A new production? Classy boner jokes? It's not even my birthday! Well, it is, actually, but you didn't know that.

[@JackieTheCatfox]

I won't be able to attend, because my band is playing a show that day, but I'll watch it later if it is uploaded to the youtubes!

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

It will be! All our streams will livestream at first and then will be available for later viewing.

[@JackieTheCatfox]

Thanks a lot! :)

[@supernoob17]

it's probably far too late in the process but it seems like it would be a great idea to simulcast this and future plays on twitch, as far as i know twitch is a lot better for discoverability and revenue (everybody who has amazon prime gets five free bezos bucks to give away to a twitch streamer and more people have prime than landline telephones)

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

So, I'm pretty sure the language alone in this show would get us kicked off Twitch right away, but that may be an option for the future

[@supernoob17]

@@ilanagreenberg4290 the only language banned on twitch is directed hate speech though

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

@@supernoob17 My understanding is that they also (sometimes, at least) have problems with "adult language", and this show has no shortage of that

[@supernoob17]

@@ilanagreenberg4290 your understanding is just wrong then idk what to tell you

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

"Sexually suggestive content or activities are also prohibited, although they may be allowed in educational contexts or for pre-approved licensed content, in each case subject to additional restrictions." Maybe trust that we've looked into things?

[@PunkoRegarto]

Oh this sound great mate! Given it's online, are you guys looking to expand to include other people in the future, are you looking just to keep it "in house"?

[@MajaBiana]

Will the theater videos be subtitled later? Because that would really help me as English is my third language and I had problems understanding some of the words in A Midsummer Night's Dream when they were 'only' spoken.

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

That is something we'll be looking into!

[@bradentwidwell7955]

Man u look different without the beard

[@spurguvitunhuora9119]

Was it just a coinsidence that The thumbnail looked like this is sponsored by Gaia?

[@Vesperitis]

Dear Kyle, with livestreaming and chats, are you guys considering doing interactive theater in the future?

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

Possibly! We have lots of ideas for future productions. If you have specific ideas, or want to get involved, email us! worlds[dot]elsewhere[dot]theatre[at]gmail[dot]com

[@rexstocephirxiii4263]

Still think there is some merit to using vr chat or similar for a stage.

[@h.schuylerhalsey5702]

Will you be doing original works? I have a one act that I think would lend itself to this format. Thanks, be well!

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

We are interested in original works! Please drop us an email: worlds[dot]elsewhere[dot]theatre[at]gmail[dot]com

[@louiswolf8688]

Will the new channel have videos announcing potential open casting calls?

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

Not on the channel, but you can find us on Facebook ( /WorldsElsewhere) or sign up for our newsletter (link available on the FB page, in a post from October)!

I know that asexuality wasn't a thing (at least in our modern interpretation) at the time Lysistrata was written but I feel like there's a joke about asexuality and not making love to not make war somewhere in there. Congrats on the new channel though!

[@matrixman124]

I'm down.

[@Chimaera242]

You son of a bitch I'm in!

[@a20000211]

Where is the beard

[@qwellen7521]

You guys going to do your own original work? If this works you could make it a platform where new creators could get there start

[@ilanagreenberg4290]

Yes, we are definitely interested in putting on original works in the future. If people are interested in reaching out to us about that, they can email at worlds[dot]elsewhere[dot]theatre[at]gmail[dot]com.

[@camotophat]

Kyle, grow back your beard! You're freaking me out!

[@videodromeTVversion]

What is that... on your head? A raven's-coat raven's nest?

[@GruvPod1]

I'm sorry. Who are you?

[@justbeyondthecornerproduct3540]

Kyle, you look like... A normal man, you ok?

[@Demolitiondude]

Best of luck with your new channel. Hope everything goes well and no bullshit copyright claims. Me attending the next performance. That will be a no. Already have previous plans. And interest immediately did a 180 when activism was said. Our definition of activism is different. Yours goes into preaching, and if I wanted to get preached at, I'd go to a southern Baptist or Christian fundamentalist church. It'll be a respectable pass.
