Tales of Yore

Post by That guy »

Well, I've been asked to tell some stories about Moss when she was in high school - specifically in theatre. Some of you already know a few, but I'll run down the ones that have been mentioned already anyway:

Beforehand - as a point of fact, our theatre teacher, Ginger Gene, was BAD. She was reported by countless parents and students for innapropriate conduct - she didn't TEACH, she just played theatre politics. She was hired my sophomore year - and finally fired the year after I graduated.

1- Under Moss's lead, a few of us revived the "Drama/Band Wars" - an ancient feud between the geeks of J-hall. (I was both theatre and band) - - while the rest of Marching band was away on a trip, we "decorated" for their return, including reupholstering the Band couch with a banner that read - The Masqued Avengers Strike Again!!

2- During the show Frankenstein, in which I played Victor, himself, I had a dramatic scene when I look over a balcony to discover my younger brother has fallen to his death, I scream his name painfully. Moss and Steve (who played the younger brother) made it their duty to try to break me every time I looked over the balcony. Once a whole-cast daisy-chain dance was going on, once Moss had vampire fangs in and Steve was her bloody victim, and on one happy night she had the cast lined up looking away to block view from the wings and I got full on flashed. :D

3- Also in Frankenstein, I had the line "I KNOW he can speak clearly, now." During a rehearsal I, Moss, and the actors playing my assistant and the monster himself organized to all break into the song "I can see clearly now the rain is gone." And effectively put a halt to the rehearsal.

4- Speaking of halting rehearsal, During Peter Pan, we were all tired and sick of rehearsing every day when she (Ms. Gene) sucked all joy out of the process. We had a number of little kids playing lions and bears and stuff, and Moss got hold of the list of phone numbers and with 2 other theatre friends, called all of the parents and informed them that rehearsal for the day was unfortunately canceled. Later that day, we were all in place and the kids, for some strange reason, never showed up... aw shucks, we had to go home early. ;)

5- By the end of the Peter Pan run, everyone was ready to just say screw it and have fun in spite of Ginger Gene. On closing night, we unscrewed a pirate-ship door so that it fell off its hinges when used - All of the pirates wore black converse to be uniform, and that night Smee's were pink - Moss (a lost boy) used a fish instead of an arrow to shoot down Wendy, one of the pirates became the most flambouyantly homosexual pirate EVER, and even gave Captain Hook (me) a big kiss when sent to his death. There were more - I can't even remember half of them, but it was an entire night of us messing up and loving every minute of it - and the audience LOVED it. It was by far our best night with the best crowd reaction. People can really sense the energy of a show.

...

Whoo - enough for now, more new stuff later. :D

I was in theater in High School. Actually, I still am. Theater is the most rockin. I know some people here may argue for art on paper, but for me, it's theatrical performance art. I did Peter Pan once too. I didn't have the best time either. I didn't get the part I should have either.

Well it was kind of a hindsight thing. After I got my part I realized that being a lost boy was where it was at. Granted, I had some fun as a pirate with the rest of the crew, but the lost boys had some freedom with their costumes, and totally woulda been cool. I shoulda been a twin with one of my friends.

Somehow, I get the feeling you would have been a bad influence on me. All those calls and theater pranks. I probably would have been sucked right in!

while that would be fun...

i would be brutally an dhorribly murdered.

because Ms Berry abhors waste of a good murder scene.

i REALLY wante dthe punk daughter - coincided with my dance costume and EVERYTHING.
i mean for #(%$#&%'s sake, we made the play with the people in mind, and i was originally going to be the daughter, but nooooooooooooo, just because i would be HAPPY playing that SHE has to go 'oh no, not her, lets just SCREW HER AROUND for a while'

....

stupid (#@$&%#$(^%$#(@


..........

REALLY want to swear right now...

but i wont.... because its in the rules...
