I don't want to brag..It's nothing fancy but I'm in a slight jam. My friend acts at a community theater and the play they are doing in Late December early Jan fell thru and she has begged me to come up with something creative they can do...
I was thinking of a soap opera spoof. Little skits more than an actual play. But the skits are interwoven together.
I would love thoughts on what I have already.
Walker and Tanni --aka the lovers-- all the skits will involve them in and around the bed. I manage to write five scenes with them already. They talk in bed, fight in bed, eat in bed, and well talk about you know what .. anyways The last skit I wrote has them trying to get out of bed at 5p.m. so he could make a meeting and she can go help her sick mother...and of course what happens
Shay--aka the bitch/boss from hell-- she has already fired 5 people, had a brief affair and has been shot by of course no one... and that's just 3 scenes
Jaysen-- heartthrob-- Top is always off showing off his Six-pack and pecks unfortunately I making him come off like the biggest jock with the classic dumb jock mind. Like his wife is having an affair and he sees all the signs but he is too dumb to connect them together. The running gag to this is that 3 different actors will be playing Jaysen. As each scene opens The announcer will say the part of Jaysen Dakota is now being played by ___ ____ (actor's real name.)
Blythe--the classic damsel in distress/ everything happens to her. Daughter of Shay, Blythe's best friend is her stalker(has no clue)--also Stalker(looking for a good name for her)is disfigured by a terrible trap she set for Blythe but it backfired. The reason she hates Blythe so much is because Blythe won a beauty contest instead of her. She is mysteriously pregnant and I don't know if I should have her get kidnapped or what.
anyone think it will work or should I go back to square one?
any other suggestions?
