Welcome to the Bluth family!

Welcome to the Bluth family!

For a stage management assignment, I was told to send my professor a letter welcoming her as an actor of a production that I was theoretically stage managing. Of course, while prepping the assignment i thought "what would me best friend Steelson do?" this is the result.

________,

Welcome to the Bluth Company's 1st annual charity production of MACBETH! The Bluth Company has hired me as their stage manager for this production.

As I am sure you are aware, The Bluth company has been in a spot of trouble since it's founder, George Bluth Sr, was arrested for alleged actions that may constitute "light treason".

For that reason in addition to the ordinary challenges that one might expect to have acting as Lord Macbeth in an gender-swapped production of Macbeth, you will also need to deal with the Bluth's themselves.

Our Executive Producer, Lucille Bluth, wife to the founder of the Bluth company, won't be having much actual direct oversight over this production, as she is generously dedicating herself to the care of her adult sun, Buster Bluth. If you ever need help dealing with Buster's antics, please! let me know!

Most of our day-to-day decisions will be handled by our Production Manager, Micheal Bluth, who took over the Bluth Company after his father's arrest. He is the serious responsible sort, and has been a great asset to me as a stage manager for this project.

Our technical director for this production is Gob Bluth, a local magician who will be directing the special effects for our production. Between you and me, he's a bit of a ladies man, try not to take him too seriously.

Our publicity manager, Lindsay Bluth, is the twin of our Production Manager Micheal. She is an old hand at "wine and cheese" fund raisers, so expect her to be able to bring a lot of "star power" to our audience list.

Additionally, Lady Macbeth is being played by Dr. Tobias Funke, the husband of Lindsay Bluth. He is a psychologist turned actor, and the author of LGBT Self Help book, "the man inside me". What his acting skills lack in nuance, he makes up for sheer enthusiasm for the craft. Please, let me know if you need any help getting on the same page as him for this production.

You might also notice, that quite a few of our cast production meetings are going to be held at the Bluth company's banana stand. The two workers there, George Micheal Jr, son of Micheal Bluth, and Maebe Funke daughter of Lindsay Bluth and Dr. Tobias Funke, have been instructed to give free Bluth frozen bananas to all cast and production members as an "perk" of participating in the production.

As you have likely gathered, this production of Macbeth is VERY much a family affair. By accepting this role, you have not only been giving the challenging part of playing Lord Macbeth gender reversed, but the equally challenging role of entering into the Bluth Family. As I was the Bluth Stage manager for several of their other family productions if you have any questions, or need any help dealing with your new "family" do not hesitate to call, or contact me. I would love to help!

Stage Manager for the Bluth Company,
