Could use some help--if you don't mind.

I don't want to brag..It's nothing fancy but I'm in a slight jam. My friend acts at a community theater and the play they are doing in Late December early Jan fell thru and she has begged me to come up with something creative they can do...

I was thinking of a soap opera spoof. Little skits more than an actual play. But the skits are interwoven together.


I would love thoughts on what I have already.



Walker and Tanni --aka the lovers-- all the skits will involve them in and around the bed. I manage to write five scenes with them already. They talk in bed, fight in bed, eat in bed, and well talk about you know what ;).. anyways The last skit I wrote has them trying to get out of bed at 5p.m. so he could make a meeting and she can go help her sick mother...and of course what happens


Shay--aka the bitch/boss from hell-- she has already fired 5 people, had a brief affair and has been shot by of course no one... and that's just 3 scenes



Jaysen-- heartthrob-- Top is always off showing off his Six-pack and pecks unfortunately I making him come off like the biggest jock with the classic dumb jock mind. Like his wife is having an affair and he sees all the signs but he is too dumb to connect them together.


Blythe--the classic damsel in distress/ everything happens to her. Daughter of Shay, Blythe's best friend is her stalker(has no clue) She is mysteriously pregnant and I don't know if I should have her get kidnapped or what.

anyone think it will work or should I go back to square one?

any other suggestions?

1. What, no amnesiac?

Also, have one of the characters become horribly disfigured in the first act; have a different actor playing that character in the second.

3. Amnesia is a great idea-- THANKS

actually I have it written that 3 guys trade off on the Jaysen part and as each scene begins an announcer says "Now playing the part of Jaysen Dakota is __ __ (actors real name.)


And I am playing with the idea that Blythe's Stalker is disfigured .. in fact I was thinking that the Stalker had set the trap to disfigure Blythe but it backfired and the stalker got it. Reason for all this deep down hatred. Blythe won a beauty contest they were both in at the age of 10.
