Matt's Sacrifice

The gang from Shakesploitation II has become quite a family, Share and Shale alike is the motto, after the cut a bitch thing..... The cast in a way has adopted the ideal that Iron Age presents in CITIZEN PAINE OR MARX IN SOHO, where we each owe a debt to out community and that we must live communally. Matt muses on the results of this lifestyle as he have according to his ability and the case used according to their need. Part three of the Pringle Trilogy from Plays and Players dressing room dungeon.

And now a word from a sponsor

Krissy tried to show our hopeful sponsor how a commercial using Shakesploitation would work.

Serpentor's Cover Letter

Serpentor is preparing for when he is out of work after Shakesploitation Iambic Boogaloo closes. We were able to attain a copy of his cover letter and share it for your aggrandizement.

To Whom it May Concern:

I understand your immediate need for an Administrative Position and I can fill that because I have all the basic fucking needs you want. Give me the job and I'll fucking organize your shit in ways you'd never dream. I am that fucking magical.What? You require that I am fully trained in Bullshit? No problem! I am totally capable of writing bullshit for your company to make you look ever so sweet. ...

You will hurray this cover letter, or die.

This I command.

Sincerely, Serpentor

Bonus Post:: We need a Sponsor

Todd and Franny make a plea for financial support for Shakesploitation II Iambic Boogaloo at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival...
A Very focused plea, with the help of some crisps and a magic tiara of concentration found in the PLays and Player's Dressing Room

A Motto

So here begins a series from the Plays and Players preview performance. I left them alone with the web cam in their dressing room and things seem to have gotten out of control. Well, live and learn.
Krissy, Rachel, Todd and Franny all developed a Shakesploitation Motto based on a dangerous encounter Todd had with a new costume piece and a miniature knife be found in its pocket.
