It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is a severe lack of community theatre AUs out there, but which fandom *most* lacks a community theatre AU. Which one is depriving us *most* by its absence?

@Betty well obviously the beefleaf one. but also i feel like community theatre is really feeling the lack of Mei Changsu, who was once a bright leading man and now is a secretive director with very strong casting opinions

@soph_sol @Betty ….now that you say this i need it *immediately*

Bixia owns the theatre?

@Satsuma @Betty actually I think maybe bixia is chair of the board of directors for the non-profit that runs the community theatre. and also is a major donor. so between the two everyone is terrified of doing anything he doesn't like

@soph_sol @Betty he has really questionable taste in plays but nonetheless his requests always get run

@Satsuma @Betty oh I daren't think what kind of plays he would make them do 😅

@soph_sol @Betty my favorite theatre AU involves the theatres founding artistic director putting on an absolutely horrible vanity project post apocalyptic adaptation of Hamlet which may be influencing my takes here somewhat lmao (fortunately I am not sure Bixia is dedicated enough to write a ~200 page script lmao so we’ll save Jingyi that fate at least)
