Happy Thespis Day!

So I was in class today, and we had two major projection fuck-ups, conveniently timed at the two most climactic emotional moments of the film (I Know Where I'm Going).

And then I realized why this was happening today:

Casey: Jeremy, November 23rd. Does that date ring a bell? And don't go to the computer.

Jeremy: Don't have to.

Casey: What is it?

Jeremy: It was on this day in 534 B.C. that Thespis stepped out onto the stage of the Theater Dionysis during a choral song and dance and became the first man to speak words as an actor in a play.

Casey: Tell me I was supposed to know that.

:D

INORITE? I actually had a note in my planner that today was Thespis Day (I rewatched the ep about a month ago and wrote it down then), and wanted to post about it anyway. But Thespis beat me to it and visited our screening! SO WEIRD. :)
