Ways to celebrate World Theatre Day

Today is World Theatre Day. Here are some traditional ways to celebrate, for those of you who have yet to participate.

1. The traditional "World Theatre Day" letter of apology to your parents
2. Perform that monologue you use for auditions during a staff meeting at your day job
3. Write a dystopian futuristic play for young people called World Theatre Day, where teenagers have to perform numbers from ancient musicals to avoid public execution.
4. Jazz hands all damn day.
5. Reverse "er" with "re" in evreything you write for the day.
6. Pick up smoking again. I mean, c'mon. You loved smoking.
7. Get drunk and start to talk in a British accent.
8. See a play that you've never heard of by someone you've never met in a little theater you've never been to before.
9. Buy a play by me. For World Theatre Day. It's a tradition.
10. Light your World Theatre Day candles that do not actually light and do not produce real smoke.
