...It's just that I've had so much going on recently.
Specifically, getting my future plans organized.
While sitting in a modernized presentation of Molière's L'Avare today, I had one of those revelations that, in the back of my mind, doesn't seem to be too far-fetched, but could be quite a lot of work to get together all the same.
What if, supposing there weren't one already, one were to organize a group/troupe of American artists (actors, dancers & singers) that would travel throughout France, (and eventually other countries once the company expands) performing shows in English for a small/reasonable cost to the public as a way of opening up the French culture (and others) to American theatre, all while providing an English lesson as the text (can, but doesn't always have to be) is translated into French and played for the viewers to learn as they watch the show?
If this is already the case, I rest largely uninformed about it. If such a troupe does exist, why haven't I heard of it? I've already done the necessary Google search...I know there are several American theatre companies in Paris/Avignon/probably Bordeaux too...but do they travel? Do they perform for schools? Do they do musicals as well as straight plays? Contemporary and classical?
If not, what a wonder it would be to develop this idea into something real...
The question is, is it feasible?
