Project One - Master Beat Sheet
Project One - Scenes & Beats
-From Matt, James and the writers
Sc. 1 - Welcome to ship. Captain mistakes Hanna for Cruise Director. He says: “Handling a cruise with a theme as sensitive as this one.” Hanna decides to pose as the Cruise Director. We see Brad & Sarah, Velma & Marge and Philip get on board. Hanna sees Philip and avoids him; tells Captain that Philip is a journalist and her ex; the breakup was amicable.
Sc. 2 - Hanna leads a conga line aboard the “ship.” All cast! Hanna has fun, but is overwhelmed and then ducks below deck.
Sc. 3 - Hanna and the Mechanic: “The plumbing on this ship is very delicate.” They have chemistry but no romance yet.
Sc. 4 - Hanna’s welcomes everyone to the dinner. Philip is present as a journalist covering the cruise; sees her; she avoids looking at him. Dinner begins. Brad and Sarah scene. It’s a mass-break-up dinner. Velma & Marge dump their husbands (no dialogue for them); extras as needed to reinforce all the breakups happening.
Sc. 5 - Hanna can’t avoid her ex, Philip, since he saw her. Debrief what was witnessed. She feels partly responsible. He says: “I’m getting the hell out of here even if I have to steal a lifeboat.” He has enough for a story. Hanna says she’s going back below deck to hide.
Sc. 6 - Pirates come aboard - pick several pockets. We see who they are: part business men and part wacky movie pirate.
Sc. 7 - Velma and Marge having a good time and then meet the pirates. All four of them hook up go off to buffet.
Sc. 8 - Sarah jumps off the ship landing in the life boat and meets Philip. They decide to return to the ship together.
Sc. 9 - Hanna and Mechanic sing longingly but find solace in each other. “What could ruin this moment?” Pipes begin to creak. They split up as Hanna has to check on the buffet.
Sc. 10 - End of buffet. Pirates have to use the restroom and they plug the toilets with their willful disregard for rules; they throw paper towels into the toilets at buffet. “That’s our cue to bail out!” and they leave the ladies behind. Velma & Marge: “Men suck.”
Sc. 11 - Hanna shows up at buffet. Shit hitting fan. Chaos; ship creaking. Captain over the intercom: “Cruise Director report to the bridge.” Where the hell’s the bridge? Mechanic comes in and Hanna admits to him she’s an impostor and he leads to the bridge.
Sc. 12 - Hanna and Mechanic go to Bridge and see Captain who’s half naked and drunk. They sound the alarm and leave the bridge.
Sc. 13 - Hanna and Mechanic find Philip and Sarah. They get on lifeboat.
Sc. 14 - Finale! Hanna, Mechanic, Philip and Sarah in a lifeboat. They sing and are joined by whole ensemble and sing.

Tightened up Beat Sheet from Rob
Scene 1: PROJECTION OF SHIP
AT DOCK.
Introduce characters arriving
at the ship. Greeted by the CRUISE DIRECTOR, each getting a brief intro
moment. PROJECTION of BOARDING
PASSENGERS and b.g. players. A harried
young woman, HANNAH sneaks aboard and the cruise director mistakenly thinks
she’s the new entertainment coordinator.
He introduces Hannah to the characters and she plays along. Hanna is
told there are some challenging groups aboard this week but that she can handle
it. A flummoxed Hanna goes along and
accepts the challenge. We find out it’s
a break up cruise, which is ironic since
2: Introduce ISACC’s
character, one of the downstairs’ workers. PROJECTION OF THE BOWELS OF THE SHIP—this
contrasts to the glamour of the upstairs section. He opens up about class
distinctions, poverty (haves/have-nots), etc.
He could be a moral guide.
3. BREAK UP COUPLE (Chris’s
scene) on the deck of the ship. Reveal that she’ll be the SUICIDE GAL,
devastated at her breakup since she thought he was going to propose. Hanna
comes and instructs them about the big dinner - the break-up is not yet
revealed.
4. We meet the TWO FUNNY OLD
DAMES who are dumping their husbands of 40 years. Think Bea Arthur and Ruth Gordan.
.
5: CRUISE DIRECTOR starts a
rhumba line and they drunkenly dance through the ship. PROJECTION. Introduce
UNDERCOVER JOURNALIST, who will fall in love with Hannah or Suicide Gal?
6: WELCOME DINNER. Hannah is forced to make a toast. Fights
ensue with the fighting couples. We see Chris’ break-up scene. Hanna feels terrible/guilty after the dinner
and this prompts her to sneak away.
7: MUSICAL NUMBER? A 5-minute version of “Saturday Night Fever,
the Musical” or “Cats” or “Rent” with
our crew singing. The Suicide Gal gets even more depressed after watching this.
8 Second suicide attempt. (Girl
from Chris’ break-up scene is so distraught that she tries to jump
overboard/kill herself only to fall into a lifeboat hanging on the ship’s
side.) She lands on the Journalist
Despite nearly killing him there is chemistry.
9: The two old women
encounter the PIRATES. The pirates are
meth addicted rich kids who want to hijack the ship? The ladies, unaware that the young pirates
are druggies, cougar out on them and take them to the buffet (PROJECTION) and
drinks and dancing.
10. Hanna is feeling terrible
about the break-up dinner and sings longingly about it only to encounter a poor
ship’s worker (Isaac’s character?). They
sing together. Perhaps it’s revealed
that she is from a very wealthy family and she longs for real love. The toilets
start to overflow
.
.
11. Suicide gal ends up
saving someone’s life and realizes how precious life is. She hooks up with the
journalist.
11: When the upper deck
(First Class) cabin toilets plug because of their misuse of them the toilets on
the lower decks begin to overflow and a mutiny of the lower classes begins as
they march up to get the rich. All of
the characters are brought together and hell is about to break loose when Hanna
and all chorus sing of the trials as the ship goes down. The old ladies jump ship with their pirate
lovers. Everyone boards the lifeboats. PROJECTION
12: Finale! A HAITIAN BEACH-PROJECTION The chorus
sings a la Broadway musical of the highs and lows Ship sinks behind them. The End.
