Hanna's Vignette #1

So, I thought I'd explore the shorty cruise performer angle because it got me all fired up and I think it's kinda funny. So here is a first draft vignetter. Wooohooo.

                                                                        SCENE

(A young women dressed in a vintage pink dress   stands center stage on the

deck of a ship. Passengers and crew are bustling around about her. She reads a letter allowed.)

                                                LILY

            “Dear Miss Samson, we thank you for auditioning for the Sparkle Cruise Musical Theatre Spectacular, but unfortunately we do not have a spot for you at this time.  Due to strict height requirements and a need for tall stalwart dancers, we may never have a spot for you on our line, unless you decide to grow six inches or choose to wear stilts for the rest of your life. And please, if you are to audition for us again, please don’t wear that god-awful pink dress. It’s hideous, even if it’s retro or retro or whatever you “hip” kids call it this days.

            We wish you the best of luck.

           

            Sincerely,

            The Sparkle Cruise Artistic Team”.

The nerve! It gets worse every time I read it! I’ll show them! I’ll show them this little hoofer can steal any show!

            (To a porter.)

Excuse me, sir. I’m a little bit lost. Could you show me to my room. And then to the rehearsal studio?         

                                                                        PORTER

The name’s James, Miss. And certainly. By the way, your pink dress is quite striking.

                                                                        LILY

Thanks!

(She gives the audience a snarky knowing look. And they exit.)

Lead the way my good sir!

(They exit.)
