[email protected] (https://kbin.social/m/musicals) was active. Then kbin.social started having issues and it has been inactive for 5 months. Prior to that it was mostly just me and the mod posting.

The issue with musical theatre is that I spend a lot more time actually rehearsing for or working on theatre than I do talking about more discussable topics with strangers not working on the same production as me. Broadway news? Uhhhhh… (that's what the mod was posting). I'd be happy to reestablish it somewhere functional, but I have to figure out what I would post first. Maybe finding the mod's news sources and posting links, and asking how the commenters' productions are going? Audition tips? Posting their own performances is probably way less popular because these take place in a physical space and who worked on what gets documented in a program, also known as easy doxxing… The nature of it being a documented performance art makes it harder to post what you're working on, though I imagine a costume designer could post a costume and just not talk about where their production is or something… it is the performers (actors, pit members, etc.) that would have a harder time posting their work. Unless they post themselves practicing or rehearsing or something, but then it opens you to nasty "you suck" drive-by YouTube comment-style judgments… hence why I don't post my own performances.

Trying to think of stuff to post on [email protected] and [email protected]. Will probably have to actively seek new stuff out
