Guest Post 2 - Theatre Anagrams!

Hi, it's Briana again. Bridget says she is sort of feeling better, but not totally. Here I present to you something fun--Theatre Anagrams! What is an anagram? It's the rearrangement of letters in a word or phrase to get another. This can range from very simple to very complicated. It has been said that anagrams never lie. I don't know about that, but I do find them fun!

I'll start simple with the word THEATRE. From this we can get AT THREE and THEREAT! When and where will the show take place? Thereat, at three!

A very simple one is WINGS and SWING. Interestingly, Both can be used as theatre terms, and a swing may at times have to wait in the wings!

Terms can be interesting, but so can names of shows. It can be entertaining to think about what a show with the anagrammed title might be about, or if the new title somehow fits the real musical, or part of the real musical.

ANNIE could be INANE or A NINE. Both sound like critics' opinions if you ask me!

OLIVER could be I, LOVER! Without even anagramming but just reading it in a silly way it says O LIVER! So, it can be about when the title character falls in love, or about food!

CATS is a play with several ACTS. Though they sing, it's not jazz, and they don't SCAT. Not one person in the entire CAST!

These all have some relevance, but others do not. RENT anagrams to TERN ... and this show has nothing to do with birds. So what do you think the show TERN would feature?

Go ahead! Try out your own!
