dead poets society theater au headcanons

so for context, i'm a stagehand, i've worked for events as well as in community theater, so this is mostly based off of that. doing my part to add dps to the dps tag, and this was what i could come up with

ok they're all involved in a small community theater production of the tempest over the summer

neil is an actor, he's playing ariel, this is one of the first roles he's landed. he'd done theater in school as puck, which didn't go so well, but it's been a while since then. he's graduated college recently after studying medicine and is finally somehow at a point where his father has less control over him. despite this, he's somewhat unsure what he wants to do now, if he wants to continue with medicine cause it's what he knows, or try to make it in theater.

todd is the assistant stage manager, he was really unsure about taking the job, but the stage manager, cameron, who he was pretty good friends with, and who he'd worked on a crew with before, specifically wanted him. despite this, he's worried that he's too anxious and not assertive enough to do it

cameron is the stage manager, and a bit of a hardass, which means the crew loves him and a decent chunk of the actors hate him. he's good at his job, he's very organized and really good at getting shit done and people together, but he'll also chew you out if you fuck up

meeks and pitts are lights and sound respectively, they've worked on a ton of shows together before and are pretty close. every show they work together, they bring a bag of snacks with them for the crew to eat during performances

charlie is the prop master, and a stagehand. he has a knack for finding weirdly useful shit in random places, and is brilliant at constructing props. despite this cameron is constantly having to bug him to get his stuff finished on time. he and cameron have a sort of love/hate relationship, they clash really bad at times but they both understand that the show would not be as good if either of them weren't there

keating is the director! he works really well with newer actors, i'd imagine he's pretty similar to peter weir in a lot of ways. he can take a little too long to reach deadlines, as getting the show perfect is a lot more important to him, which annoys cameron a bit

knox is also an actor, he's playing ferdinand and is convinced that he and chris, who plays miranda, are destined to be together or something. chris doesn't see him like that though

chris is miranda, she was originally interested in the tech/design aspect of theater, but a while back they needed more actors, and she ended up volunteering. she started as crew when ginny first started acting, because ginny was nervous to do it alone

ginny is iris, she has more free time this show since her role is smaller, but is always at rehearsal whenever chris is there, so she ends up sitting around and watching a lot. she quickly becomes friends with neil, who is similarly always around todd

anytime he's not busy, neil is hanging around todd. he's started doing parts of todds job for him, getting batteries, taping doors, sweeping the stage, doing other miscellaneous errands. he spends so much time with todd that he somehow ends up as crew in the program in addition to ariel. he starts getting to the theater early when the crew shows up just to spend more time with todd. cameron has started treating him as an extra stagehand

#this was originally just anderperry then i realized cameron would be a GREAT stage manager and now here it is #i've never done headcanons like this before sorry if it's a bit choppy #dead poets society #dps #neil perry #todd anderson #richard cameron #stephen meeks #steven meeks #gerard pitts #charlie dalton #john keating #knox overstreet #chris noel #ginny danburry

Sometimes, I think about Cameron and wonder about his true feelings of Keating. Did he ever look up to the man? Did he take all of his lessons to heart, holding them close to his chest instead of his head? Did he see him as a safe authority figure? Was his first thought after Neil's death to curse Keating? Was it easier to blame Keating for the death of his friend rather than the institution he grew up in? Did he ever look back and regret not standing on his desk?

#dead poets society #dps #richard cameron #i hope this makes sense #it is past my bed time and im currently crying haha #i am so unwell about these boys #thinking about how the moments we are never going to get #the insight of most of the characters #john keating

The poets favourite food (I'm bored :] )

Neil - Soup! Any soup! He mainly has Tomato soup because it is the best soup and is the only soup Todd likes.

Todd - Bread. With butter, if he's feeling fancy.

Cameron - I've said this before, pasta. Any pasta is fine with him but he loves Penne with parmesan and tomato sauce

Pitts - Grapes. Crunchy grapes. Just. Crunch

Meeks - this man LOVES chicken. Idk what to tell you, he just really likes it.

Charlie - pretzels

Knox - chocolate or smth idk

Here’s one of the smaller details in dead poets society that I think gets slept on. In the scene where Cameron is talking to Neil about Todd he says “your new roommate looks like a stiff.” And then Todd walks in and he says “oops.” And walks away. Here’s what I find interesting about this scene: Neil is the only person vaguely nice to Cameron in the entirety of the movie. So naturally, Cam thinks Neil will have his back. But as the plot progresses, we watch Neil fall in love with Todd. He didn’t agree nor disagree with Cam in that first scene where they’re together. Because he doesn’t know Todd yet. Cam on the other hand is outwardly judgemental towards almost everyone. I honestly think Cam doesn’t deserve all the hate he gets. My HC is that he’s a scholarship student. His parents are poor and he’s worked his whole life to get to Welton. But no one knows this. So when Cam snitches , it’s to protect himself yes but I think it’s also to make his parents proud. Cam in my mind is a closeted gay or aromantic who just cannot process his feelings in the world the poets live in. So when he sees Neil and Todd, he’s jealous. He knows they had the life he’ll never be able to have. In the end DPS is a story of expectations and the paths we’ve been forced to take. Doesn’t everyone act in their own self interest at first?
