Who: Riona and you!
Broadcast: Yep
Action: On the Blue Fish, if you want
When: Backdated to earlier this week because I forgot to post this earlier like an idiot

[Riona's back on the network, though thankfully she's considerably less annoyed this time around.]

Some of you may recall that Beverly Crusher and I mentioning running a black box theater on the Iskaulit, where others could put on performances and whatnot? Well, someone made the mistake of letting her and I loose in a shop that sold play scripts and the like, and we found one we thought would be delightful to put on.

It's called Captain Bree and Her Lady Pirates and it seems to be a musical comedy about some, well, pirate shenanigans. It sounds a bit ridiculous and quite fun. It's not a big production and it doesn't seem to be intensive in terms of set building and the like. But we wanted to gauge interest before we move forward with it. We'll need actors, of course - preferably if you can sing well enough - along with costume makers and set builders. If anyone wants to see the script, I managed to get a copy on this device so I can send it to you.

[She's rather proud of herself for figuring that one out.]

If enough want to do it, we can look into auditions and the like. Any empty roles we may just fill with people on this asteroid belt who might be interested. Please let either myself or Beverly know as soon as possible if you'd be interested.

This should be immensely entertaining, if nothing else.

"Captain Bree and Her Lady Pirates?"


[Well that caught someone's attention.]

[stabsbothways]

I would like to echo what this finely dressed chap just said.

[all7seas]

You must be Captain Bree!

[...uh oh.]

[stabsbothways]

I'm conflicted, because I'd get to be a captain, but it would only be a pretend one.

...only slightly more fake than being a captain of one these ships, I suppose.

Yes, that's the name of the play. From what I understand, it's about a ship of pirates who capture another ship with some nobles on board and try to ransom them to the navy. Or, whatever a space navy is called, since this is on space ships.

I am sorry I got so sick with the flu back now orz

[all7seas]

OH. Thought you said it were about shenanigans, which would be QUITE different from a run-of-the-mill kidnap and ransom...

[Clearly this plot is disappointing him.]

And navies never pay for nobles. Kings might, if the king were a friendly king who enjoyed nobles very much.

D: glad you're feeling better!

[bryces_pup]

[She gives him A Look]

There's other shenanigans within the play. But you seem very familiar with going-ons of pirates.

I think I can spare some time with set building. It'll be fun.

Arrrg, walk ya plank, excreta, excrete.

[bryces_pup]

I'd be quite grateful. Luckily, it's a short play and it mostly takes place on a ship, so we don't need multiple sets.

[alwayscomeback]

Great! When can I come check out the space and work out what you need? Please tell me you need fake cannons. I wanna make fake cannons.

I did promise Beverly I would help. Good meeting, milady. Maglor, at your service. As a bard I obviously can sing, but I can help with building and designing, too.

[bryces_pup]

Well met, Maglor. I'm Riona. We would be happy to have you participate in whatever manner you'd prefer. I'd rather everyone be doing what they like most.

I am at your disposal, Lady Riona - obviously, my voice has always been my primary talent, but I can play most things, as well, and I am not adverse to helping you with construction.

[edwinjarvis]

Oh!! Very good; I think I can be of some assistance behind the scenes, wherever you need me.

I do enjoy theater quite a lot, myself.

Video.

[bryces_pup]

Do you? I knew you were a man with taste the moment we met.

[She approves heartily.]

We'd be happy to take whatever help you'd be willing to give. Is there anything in particular you'd think you'd be good at or would like to do?

Video.

[edwinjarvis]

[OH SHUCKS, don't make him blush.]

A fine question. I imagine I can take on any technical role necessary — that is, I will be more than happy to learn whatever I must in time for a play.

[throwsdown]

Can I help?!

Maybe I can be a character! I'll audition! Whatever that means!

[bryces_pup]

[Aw, look at that enthusiasm!]

Audition means trying out for a part. See if you would be a good fit for a character. It's a lot of fun, but it means memorizing lines and knowing where to be during a scene. Do you think you'd be able to do that? [It's not meant condescendingly, but theater can be tricky for kids, especially if they have no prior experience.]

[throwsdown]

I... I think I can! I like playing pretend already, so I've been practicing like that.

[A humorous smile accompanies her reply.]

Beverly twisted my arm a bit so I'll be glad to help with music. One of my hosts was an accomplished musician.

video

[bryces_pup]

Oh, really? [She smiles a bit. Atta girl, Bev.] What do you play?

video

[musicalhost]

[So unfair.] I can play the piano, the syn lara, Vulcan lute, li'dswed, and the Tellarite hollow bell line.

[livesfastdiesung]

I haven't really done any actin' before, but I can sing! And I'm willin' to try!

[bryces_pup]

We're willing to take on amateurs. It's not a major production. There are quite a few roles for women, both pirate and non-pirate. I can send you the script and cast, if you want to look.

[stabsbothways]

Oh darn. I wanted to ask a question but then it turns out you have children involved, so I suppose that mostly answers my question.
