Players Note from Charlie Lawson


This ditty comes from the minds (yes ... minds) of Charlie Lawson.  Happy Holidays!

~ THE BOARD MEMBERS CHRISTMAS SONG ~

(SUNG TO THE TUNE OF THE CHIPMUNK CHRISTMAS SONG.)

With sincere apologies to David Seville, Simon, Theodore and Alvin Chipmunk!

(All right all you Board Members, ready to put on our show???
-I'll say we are!
-Yeah!
-Let's start the show now!
-Okay June?
-Okay!
-Okay Suzanne?
-Oui, I mean, Okay!
-Okay Charlie? Charlie? CHARLIE??

-OKAY!!!!)

Theater, Theater, time for a show,
We have a budget that we must not blow.
Check the sound, is Shook able to hear?
That is a priority, that is clear......

Aim the lights, no dead spots on stage,
or the director might fly in to a rage,
The stage is furnished, the props are here,
Let's hope the actors' lines are clear.

(Okay Board Members, get ready..
-That was very good, Craig.
-Naturally
-Very good, Becky.
-I'm too busy, not now.
-Ah Sherry, the costumes need a little more work.
-Ah...Sherry? Sherry? SHERRY?
-OKAY!!!)

-Hope this show will draw a large crowd,
-Make the Players all be so proud,
-We've worked so hard, and have new volunteers,
-So please, oh please, let them come back next year.

-We've worked our fingers to the bones,
-And even answered WVPT phones!

-Very good Board Members!
-Hey, Sandi and Phyllis want to do the show again!
-Yeah! Jerry wants to do the show again!!!
-No, that's enough, I can't stand hearing Duane whine again.
-What do you mean Duane whining? Dana was whining!
-Well, Charles and Bill just hummed in the chorus, thank goodness Bill hummed!
-We ALL want to do the show again!
-Now wait a minute, guys!..
-Why CAN'T we do the show again???

(Board Member Chatter)

-Hey!! Jennifer and Jenny, no fighting!
-Patrick! Get back here, it's not time for a smoke break!!!
-Cindy! Cut that out!!
-C'mon guys, we gotta work together to be a success!! GUYS!!!!
GUYS??? Awwwww........

(More Board Member chattering fading in volume to silence.)
