The Ending:

[Who Wants to Live Forever] Ends. (Emerging in a robe. Into cell.)Yes, but I can't possibly do a thing! My hands are completely tied... Sick mothers you know... Well, yes I know, it was last week as well, but this time is serious... I know what I said, but this week is serious-er. If I miss the death of my mother, I'll probably burst. Don't make me do something drastic. Yes, John. Thank you, John. (hangs up.)I REALLY freaking hate this guy. I swear say to a guy he's the best after ONE night and he'll think it's marriage. All I said was "You were great" in a non-chalant kind of way and then lit up, rolled over, went to sleep. In that order!To be honest, I actually don't mind it. I mean, I've got more attention than I've ever asked for. Sure, he beats me, and thus my current escape to the backstage and constant lying to him. I feel I've lost myself. I've lost, something... precious. I'M lost. It's me, in the whole metaphoracle sense, I've lost me. I'm ruined. Ruined. John's ruined me! Sex ruined me... I did. My decisions, I myself alone... I ruined me... Look at me... What have I done at this point that feels right? What CAN I do? No, I don't have a choice... none, what-so-ever.I don't have anything left. (dialing phone, rifling through drawers) John? Hi, darling, it's me... John? Eat dirt.

Confessions: The Show 1

[A work in progress] A story about a drag queen, not so much me. Full of musical interludes and female impersonation. Based off not only this blog, but other journals of mine. ALL original monologues and soliloques by me!

Opening:

I remember growing up. I remember what it was like to be young me, raised by two loving parents. Kindergarten, my friends, first grade, second, third... highschool. First kiss... second, third... A lot of things. I wrote them down and I looked back. Now I'm a developing artist. A female impersonator, in vulgar terms, a drag queen. No one's getting dragged, nor is life a drag, but sometimes...? I wonder. I'm Danni, by the way.You know, it's not like I ever really had the choice. Do you know? So, well, I figure I'd show you my life, tell you everything. The truth. I can only tell you. I trust you. If I didn't have anyone I could trust to tell about these things, I'd probably burst or do something drastic. I'm not sure what, though.This is my story. And you, lucky, lucky person, get to hear ALL about it. Aren't you lucky indeed. Look at you, at the end of your seat! And lying back down, okay. Maybe a wedgie? You got an uncomfortable seat. [Cue song:] Sorry. Nothing I can do about that. I'm just the entertainment. [Don't Rain on My Parade]

Urinetown the Musical

I've heard some very interesting news... Consider:

What would happen if the water was gone? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever wondered what it would be like?

Statistics show that the most water is used with toilets and urinals, both public and private. Now imagine that your bathroom has been permanently removed and your government has announced toilets would be privatized... in other words, you have to pay to pee.

Urinetown the Musical is based on this idea.

Caldwell B. Cladwell, the man who is charge of the dirtiest, filthiest public amenity in town and a smooth-talking senator, Fipp, plot to raise the price for the use of the public urinal.

The plots goes and we learn that those who don't pay the pee-fee... they are sent to Urinetown. "A metaphysical place of sorts" or so the locals say. Nobody knows what awaits Urinetown, all live in fear of the phantom town... known as Urinetown!

If this weren't enough, Bobby not only falls in love with Cladwell's only flesh-and-blood daughter, Hope Cladwell, leads a protest with the poor people of the town, to fight against Cladwell and his money-grubbing Urine Good Company (U.G.C.) crew.

The show has been successful off-Broadway, then on Broadway... recently it played in Vancouver, and now the relatively small but talent-laden town of Summerland, B.C. has taken on the task of putting on this show.

The cast is small, with several leads playing in the chorus as well. These are definately a talented bunch as they all participate in almost every single scene and musical number throughout the show. Rehearsals are coming to a close and the show is about to go on, everyone is now feeling the pressure now that we're coming down to the crunch...

Now Consider:

What are you doing in the week of august 4th to the 8th? What could you be doing? You could be sitting home watching the same old boring television... or...

You could be watching an epic struggle for life, liberty and freedom... to pee! See a colorful bunch of characters fight against an oppressive company plotting to take away man's one and only sacred right... watch as man struggles to free their porcelain throne! And yes... it's family friendly!

Okay enough of the jokes... the show runs August 4-8 all 8pm showings. Tickets are $15 at the door or at the Sweet Tooth located in downtown Summerland!!!
