Howl's Moving Castle is kinda weird. It's pretty conventional on the Miyazaki scale. It's not great.

I'd watch Nausicaa and Porco Rosso first.

Community theater is fun and cheap. One of the subplots in The Lives of Others is the playwright the Stasi spies on puts on a production in Berlin prior to reunification and then puts it on again after and the set design is starkly different but the underlying message is somehow purer under East German budgets. Whenever i see community theater, I'm reminded of the difference.
