wot2022-Instructions

Help producing War of the Trumps is very much needed. It isn't hard to notice the production values, audio, and many needed elements of the play are much poorer than they should be. All of this is owing to my own lack of the many skill sets that go into designing and producing the work. I did it with bailing wire, spit and bat-guano. It all seems to be there, but just barely. Help in getting some of the pieces cleaned up would certainly be a welcome surprise.

Other things, like more performers, will likely be needed for next year's Halloween presentation. A few friends saved the day this time. But what WOT really needs is some good, solid dramatic readers who can take on roles that us unprofessionals simply can't tackle for a nailed-it performance. I'm not sure what next year's play will be, but these are some of the skills I am looking for:

A good audio engineer. I did what I knew how to do, but won't pretend the result was anything above this side of awful. I've looked everywhere with a skilled audio/editing person, but havn't been able to find one yet.

Someone skilled at CSS and JS coding. Most of the three months I spent building this was time that almost every line of the code took to construct and then figure out why it didn't work. It was like pulling teeth and took bushels of time and frustration to even get it this far. And that is just barely fare enough. There are many things that are simply left out because the coding was just too tricky. So a good HTML/CSS/JS handler would be a real blessing.

As I said, dramatic readers would be a big relief. We did it as best we could this time, but there is room for much improvement and good readers would be a huge step in that direction.

Finally, some folks who might help with perfecting the script and the writing of next year's production. I've no idea of what that might be. But I do know that next year is going to be at least as challenging as the past years have been. The Destructionists are not going away or giving up. Putting some of them in jail will change nothing—a feel-good experience which I also welcome— but nothing that will change anything or really diminish the risk of having this country stolen from us. Really stolen, no Big Lie about it. This has only been a practice for battle for them.

The next crop of bat-shit crazies will be smarter, stealthier and much more clever than this crop of clowns. And look how close we came to losing it all, even with such incompetent adversaries. Have to see and think it through as the year progresses. Some good thinkers/writers would do much to augment my rather overtaxed skill sets.
