Hang loose man!

"Hey, Man!"
I was just in a play/workshop.  We put on a one time show call "Blackbeard the Pirate"!  There were several parts - parrots (all the little kids), sea weed creatures, sailors,  crocs, crabs, mermaids, beach bums (lazy, lazy) beach bums, and of course...
Pirates! ("Let's get out of here!")
Anyway, I was a beach bum (3# actually!) and I had lots of lines.  So, you know, I was awesome.  Naturally.  Totally.  I rocked!  You want my autograph?  OK, I wasn't exactly the star of the show ("How is that possible?!") but then again, we made everyone say "Wow."
In case you're wondering, all of these "quotes" are from the play.  So hang loose and hang tight, I don't care, be prepared to be swept off the cliff in theatrics.

Lights!  Camera!  ACTION!

Monday, Auditions.  Parrots, Sea weed creatures, crocs, crabs and mermaids are sent home after auditions.  Beach Bums and Pirates stay and practice in separate rooms.  Tuesday, a two-hour practice for the SeaWeedCreatures, sailors, and mermaids.  They leave and the pirates, beach bums, crabs, and crocs all practice for two hours.  Wednesday, ENTIRE CAST!!!  We do the entire show with lot's of stop-and-fix-its.  Parrots leave, the rest of us eat dinner. We go through play all over again.  Thursday, ENTIRE CAST!!!  We do the whole thing, eat, then do it again.  Friday, ENTIRE CAST!!!  We go through the play once in costume, then eat.  We do makeup, try to be quiet for two hours (yah, right) then (dun-dun-duuuuuh) the PLAY!!!!!  THE ACTUAL THING!!!!  Friday, 8:20 PM, photo call, costumes are changed out of, scripts and costumes are turned in.  9:10 We're home!

Totally!
