Practice makes pirates!
How I felt at the beginning of each show.
What happened during each show.
Where I felt I belonged at the end of each show (the box is a sarcophagus).
I'm the one, stage right, in red, in the tub.
There's no privacy on a pirate ship...
Privacy and dignity all walk the plank when the pirates pull pranks!
The only solution is to high-tail it stage right... best speed possible!
The penalty for thinking their joke gone a bit too far; taken a lot longer and farther than originally intended!
Always at attention when the lady summons.
However, it's hard to stay at attention when said lady has us humming... without any breath break intending!
Bringing the troops to arms!
You guys face the pirates on stage right! I'm leaning to go the other way... stage left!
Ah, the joy of choreographed stage combat chaos!
At the end of this show I was invited by to audition for the Villa's upcoming performance "Pollyanna" by the writer of the script, Brian Sheet's mom. After the practices had begun I was then invited to audition for Payson's upcoming parody performance "The Pirated Penzance." They wanted me to reprise my role in a parody situation. I told them 'the show must go on' and felt dedicated to "Pollyanna" but I have always wished I had joined their show.
