Backstage - The OOC Thread

As I told you privately, I hope all goes well with your recovery. If the Physical Therapy feels wrong, get them to adjust it to something that works for you. XXOO

PT is actually going pretty well. I am slowly regaining my strength and stability and mobility, but I tire easily and can't tolerate sitting in front of the PC for too long. Getting there slowly but surely though! Thanks for the well wishes! I'll get there eventually! XOXO

[Dante Alvarez]

So glad to hear you’re on the mend and recovering! Hope your PT continues to go well. We’re cheering you on from this side and looking forward to your full recovery!

Thanks, Dante! Feeling a little bit better every day, but I gotta say, this has not been easy!

I'm running a little late due to my accident, but if all goes well, we should have a new show posted this coming Sunday, Feb 7th. Keep an eye on the calendar for official shows and dates, and thanks for your patience!

Thoroughly enjoying reading the posts for Le Corsaire and finding the little insights into the characters intriguing. Bravo!

I'm sorry I haven't been active here, either as Eregor or Doran... I'll try and be around more.

No worries, Eregor! We all get busy - self included. The Shanachie isn't going anywhere, and your posts are worth the wait.

I saw the opening post with the character list for Anything Goes, but didn't see who was playing whom.

I know! Something came up yesterday, and I wasn't able to finish it. The cast list is up now. Sorry for the delay!

I am laughing so hard right now at Peter Pan Goes Wrong. I’d never seen it before and it’s great. It’s giving me Noises Off vibes which is also just a hilarious show. Thank so much for sharing the link!

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how many would be familiar with it. I have to give Mataya's player credit for putting it on the schedule though. I hope everyone has fun with it! It is pretty silly.

Cross-posting this here, FYI ...

I regret to inform you all that Mataya's player and I have decided to close the doors of the Shanachie for the foreseeable future. This is not a decision that was made lightly, but we are both finding it difficult juggling everything that's going on in our lives, and so, we've decided it's time to let our little corner of Rhy'Din go - at least, for now. The theater will be officially closing following the holiday party.

The Shanachie Theater has been part of Rhy'Din since 2010, when it was first created by Mataya's player on DM, and there have been countless players and characters who've been part of this place since then. We want you all to know how much we really and truly appreciate each and every one of you and have enjoyed reading your posts and interacting with you all. It is not without sadness that we have made this decision, but this past year has been a difficult one, and as Mataya's player likes to say, we just don't have the spoons to keep it going anymore.

We want to thank everyone who has ever participated in the theater, as well as those who have supported us throughout the years. There are far too many of you to name, but you should all know who you are! Just to be clear, while we appreciate any offers to help, we have decided it would be best to just close. Players are certainly welcome to create their own version of a theater, if they so desire, but the Shanachie will be officially closing its doors in January.

We apologize profusely for disappointing anyone - especially those new to the theater - but we hope you have all enjoyed your time spent here.

Once again, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We've had a good, long run here in Rhy'Din, and for that, we are truly grateful. If anyone wants to keep in touch, you can PM me for contact info.

Thanks again and best of luck to all you! It's been a blast!
XOXO

I know we've talked about this, but it still makes me sad to see. Thank you both for all your hard work and for offering such a fun and engaging story-telling hook for our characters over the years. Much love. <3

[Anthony De Luca]

Thanks for the kind words, Canaan! We have enjoyed bringing the Shanachie to Rhy'Din, and we hope everyone has enjoyed having us here.

Just a reminder to everyone that the annual holiday party takes place today on the boards for anyone who'd like to participate. There's no deadline for posting. Hopefully, we'll still be around from time to time, but this will be the last open event for the foreseeable future.

We wish you all the best and hope you have enjoyed the Shanachie.

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's hope 2022 is a good year.
