Yes, we think you've been here before, many times, under multiple identities.
Yes, we are a family.
Yes, we fight with each other.
Yes, we have insight and interesting stories and experiences and extreme, dramatic, and passionate opinions.
Yes, you will be challenged, scrutinized, doubted, and questioned.
Yes, we love theatre.
Yes, we keep coming back for more.
Yes, we'll "block" you, shun you, yell at you, and judge you, quick as you can post "am I the only one who ...?"
Yes, we are ageist, racist, prejudiced, and political.
Yes, we are worth the trouble.
Yes, we are open to new ideas and completely closed off.
Yes, we look forward to new posters and we sorely miss some of the old ones.
Yes, we are a clique.
Yes, we encourage you to post from your heart.
Yes, we will be quick to condemn whatever you post.
Yes ... come join us. We are a "tough playground." We already know what we love and hate. We already know who we like and don't like.
Yes, we're glad you are here. At least for now.
Should you accept our "turf" or reject it?
That's entirely up to you.
Enter at your own risk.
But at least enter knowing the score. Enter because you are just as passionate, jaded, guarded, and excited as each of us. Enter because you want to find out more about other posters, other experiences, and of course discounts, student rushes, and gossip.
... and WELCOME to the BWW message boards.

No, we don't want to hear about your all-black dreamcasting of MISS SAIGON in a Ukrainian circus tent.
Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.
Yes, we are smarter than you. Not each of us more than any one of you. But as a group, we're smart, and you're not going to fool us. And if it's most of us vs. you, we're probably not wrong.
Yes, some of you make us want to stick a fork in our eye.
