American Idiot needs you!

POSTED BY BERT REPTILE ON MON, AUG 3, 2009

IN SCENE SHOP

Here’s your chance to be part of American Idiot.

Set designer Christine Jones, part of the extraordinary team of artists working to turn a seminal Green Day album into a raging piece of rock ‘n’ roll theater, is sending out a call to musicians and fans to be – literally – part of her set.

Christine would like you to send in artwork that has been generated for your own bands –for concert posters or album covers – which would then be used to paper the walls of the warehouse-like set.

She is also interested in handwritten song lists and handwritten pages of songs in the process of being written. Photocopies are acceptable.

Send your submissions by Aug. 25 to: Berkeley Repertory Theatre Scenic Studios, Attention Lisa Lazar, Scenic Artist, 2526 Wood St., Oakland CA 94607.

Once the articles you send become part of the set, obviously, they cannot be returned, but they will be part of history as American Idiot makes its world premiere at Berkeley Rep Sep 4-Oct 11.

so lets get cracking....***busily cleans off crumbs and gum off pages**

advice: colour photocopy your originals..you don't want to lose them..they don't return them

[Sarahnade.]

Awesome!

[Bohemian+Scandal]

Sweet. I may send something in for the hell of it.

Awesome!

I don't want to sound like an idiot, but what does that mean?

Random jotted set lists. Scribbles of lyrics you've written.

[apocalipstick]

rad! I'm gonna send in some of my band's show flyers.

[jose armstrong]

same here

I have lots of shit that when I'm in my senses and look back in what I write I'm like "WTF? this sucks bawls" or "holy shit, this is the best shit ever"

if I ever get time to send shit, I surely will

I hope not too much people send shit in :/

I don't want my shit all clusterfucked

[Aurora]

seeing as most of my band art is on the computer I don't know how I could help them. maybe I'll just write a few lyrics and send those.

[jose armstrong]

I was looking for an E-mail when I first read it.

it's so tedious for me to send mail

but its more fun to mail in coffee stains and last nights dinner and cat prints when the cat sits on your music when you try to write it

Yeah, I would but I can't be stuffed mailing anything :down:

[Sarahnade.]

^Thanks for the multiple explanations. :]

Hmm. I write a lot of songs, so it would be cool to have my stuff up on there.

I might do it. I don't know.

[Guest Shangri-La]

i'm SO sending in a bunch of shit my roommate drew

[Sarahnade.]

If we send stuff in, how will we know they used it?

Will they just use everything they get?

I was going to send scans of it,, but I guess these guys don't want to live in the modern world either

[elanorelle72]

My package is all ready now...

Cover letter finished

and going to be Fed-exed...

woohoooo

[Angela.]

This is cool. I think I want to do this. I just thought of something. I'm sure the guys will look at the set. They'll probably see our work. That's actually pretty interesting.

[RhayaOnTheHill]

that's awesome I"m so sending some stuff in

[GreenDayGummyBear]

maybe they just dont want to waste paper printing them all out?

[elanorelle72]

maybe they just dont want to waste paper printing them all out?

and its art too...should be authentic..I like to think so..

[Nele]

Wow that's cool.

I might send in some of my (shitty) lyrics or make a flyer for my not-existent band.

But the only problem is that I don't know if my stuff will be there before the deadline ends... I once sent money to Andres and he got the letter like three month later... "/

Do you guys think it would be there in time if I sent my letter to them one week before the official end? (I'm in NYC at that time so it might be faster then sending it from Germany...)

[bass boy]

im sending some stuff!

[Sarahnade.]

I feel pathetic for asking so many questions, but can we just stuff our papers in an envelope, or do they have to be in a package?
