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.
