ooh - I have never directed Maestro and would love to not start now!

As one who has only directed "real actors" doing "scripted work," I would unquestionably be pretentious, pedantic and add no value whatsoever, no more so than the grain of sand that irritates the oyster. In other words, for those who neither need nor desire no further explanation, I'm perfectly qualified to clinch the seal of failure on the crap-load of awful this show is destined not to be.

Hey, I'll not be there to watch the last nonexistent show in The Hideout Holiday Super Special run (I hear they're not doing a special holiday edition of The Von Trapp Family Circus) -- maybe I could not stick around afterwards and not do the hypothetical Maestro?

I'd like to be there but I recently set fire to all my pants, and I hear The Hideout has a strict "Goddammit, Brett, Wear Pants! I Don't Care If You Only Came To Watch. No, Spider-Man Underoos Do Not Count As Pants. GET OUT!!!" policy.

Sure, why not?

This is "Blue Christmas Maestro," right?

If this was real, it should be the Jewish Maestro. As Asaf said in the Feast of Fools, "Of course they have a Jew hosting a Christmas show. Why not? We own 10% of everything, including Christmas!! And Jesus was a Jew." (paraphrasing that, btw).

Why is this not happening? Didn't the Katz's Deli team win the Theater Sports tournament?

I would absolutely LOVE to not perform at a Maestro that is not happening this weekend!!!

Any room for students who definitely DON'T want to show off what their teacher has taught them?

I'll still be in San Antonio, so if there still isn't room in this Maestro, I would love to not be in it.

I used to think that anonymity was an essential component to the idiocy of the Internet.  Then I saw facebook groups.

NO!
