Autumn Theatre

This is planning a bit ahead, since summer's all booked, but I thought this would be an interesting idea to play around with.

A stageplay!

Autumn is the most ~~artistic~~ House, and their head professor teaches music, drama, and the arts, so why not throw together a production for the whole school?

Actors, a director, production staff (such as costumers and technicians), stagehands, writers, the whole works. Everyone can play a part, and everyone else gets to sit back and enjoy the show.

People could make their own personal topics about preparing (rehearsing lines, putting together a set, handing out flyers, etc.), and then we have a big topic in the auditorium where we go through the whole play. Could be fun?

A few ideas for the play itself:
1). Writing our own.
2). A classic.
3). Original reinterpretation of an older play.
4). Maybe a musical? ;D ONE DAY MOOOORE

I don't know. What do you guys think? It wouldn't be until the fall either way, but I'm curious if people would be interested. It'd be a big thing.

I think a classic would be really funny/a reinterpretation.

SCENE 2 — Evelyn and Kimply's Dorm
[EVELYN SITS IN HER TASTEFUL DORM, WITH A BOOK]
EVELYN
Aah, an afternoon alone with my favorite book, "Broadway Musicals of the 1940's."
No roommate to bother me. How can it get any better than this?
[KIMPLY ENTERS CHEERFULLY]
KIMPLY
Oh, hi Eve!
EVELYN
Hi Kimply.
KIMPLY
Hey Eve, you'll never guess what happened to me in class this morning.
This girl was smiling at me and talking to me —
EVELYN
That's very interesting.
KIMPLY
She was being real friendly, and you know, I think she was coming on to me.
I think she might've thought I was gay!
EVELYN
[UNCOMFORTABLE]
Achem, so, uh, why are you telling me this? Why should I care? I don't care.
What did you have for lunch today?
KIMPLY
Eve, there's no need to get —
EVELYN
I'm NOT getting defensive! What do I care about some gay girl you met? I'm trying to read.
[A MOMENT — EVELYN RETURNS TO HER BOOK]
KIMPLY
Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Eve. I just think it's something we should be able to talk about.
EVELYN
I don't want to talk about it! Kimply, this conversation is over!
[BEAT]
OVER!
KIMPLY
Well, okay, just so you know —
If you were gay,
That'd be okay.
I mean 'cuz, hey
I'd like you anyway.
Because you see
If it were me
I would feel free
To say
That I was gay
(But I'm not gay).
EVELYN
Kimply, please! I'm trying to read...
[KIMPLY STARES AT HER]
What?!
KIMPLY
If you were queer
EVELYN
Kimply —
KIMPLY
I'd still be here
EVELYN
Kimply, I'm trying to read this book.
KIMPLY
Year after year
EVELYN
Kimply —
KIMPLY
Because you're dear
To me!
EVELYN
Argh!
KIMPLY
And I know that you
EVELYN
What?
KIMPLY
Would accept me too
EVELYN
I would?
KIMPLY
If I told you today
Hey, guess what,
I'm gay
(But I'm not gay).
I'm happy
Just being with you
EVELYN
High Button Shoes, Pal Joey...
KIMPLY
So what should it matter to me
What you do in bed with girls?
EVELYN
Kimply, that's WRONG!!
KIMPLY
No, it's not!
If you were gay
EVELYN
Awwh!
KIMPLY
I'd shout hooray!
EVELYN
I'm not listening!
KIMPLY
And here I'd stay
EVELYN
La la la la la!!
KIMPLY
But I wouldn't get in your way.
EVELYN
Aaaah!
KIMPLY
You can count on me
To always be
Beside you every day
To tell you it's okay,
You were just born that way,
And as they say,
It's in your DNA, you're gay!
EVELYN
I'M NOT GAAAY!
KIMPLY
If you WERE gay.
EVELYN
Argh!

VALERIE
Dearest, Darlingest Momsy and Popsicle...
KAYLA
My dear father...

There's been some confusion over rooming here at Beata
KAYLA

There's been some confusion for you see my roommate is...
VALERIE

VALERIE

KAYLA

VALERIE
My pulse is rushing...
KAYLA
My head is reeling...
VALERIE
My face is flushing...

VALERIE

KAYLA
Your voice
VALERIE
Your clothing
BOTH
Let's just say...
I loathe it all!
Every little trait however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple, utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It's so pure, so strong!
Though, I do admit it came on fast,
Still I do believe that it can last!
And I will be loathing, loathing you
My whole life long!
STUDENTS
Dear Valerie, you are just too good!
How do you stand it, I don't think I could!
She's a terror! She's a tartar!
We don't mean to show a bias,
But Valerie, you're a martyr!
VALERIE
Well...
These things are sent to try us.
STUDENTS
Poor Valerie forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you
We're all on your side!
We share your loathing, unadulterated loathing...

JANE
Can I buy you a drink?
JULIETTE
That would be nice.

While we’re talking, let me offer you some free advice.
Talk less.
JULIETTE
What?
JANE
Smile more.
JULIETTE
Ha...
JANE
Don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for.
JULIETTE
You can’t be serious.
JANE
You wanna get ahead?
JULIETTE
Yes.
JANE
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.
