Halloween Howlings
Coming to you LIVE is our Halloween HOLIDAY SPECIAL… All the scary characters are clamoring for center stage as the scene opens. The producer yells, “CUT!!! Get back in your positions! Joanie and Kate… you are in the back!” Joanie storms off the set to calm herself down, mumbling to herself, “I know they want to hear what I have to say… and I’m going to prove it!” Kate scoffs at the embarrassment of being treated like a second rate actress. “The people DO want to hear from ME. That producer is going to hear from my attorney! I’ll show him!” Kate fiddles through the pages of her script to try to get her lines right. She took a deep breath and started again. “I can’t give up,” she said to herself. “They have to notice me. They have to hear what I have to say….”
Finally, the producer looked her way. Kate blurted out… “Residents are not aware that without impact fees it will result in the loss of tree canopy.” The producer yells “CUT” as he tells her, “READ the script again! The Town of Melbourne Beach has impact fees and they are collected through Brevard County! And what does that have to do with the tree canopy?! Get it right Kate or I’ll have you replaced with Frances!” Kate stammers at her mistake. “I’ll get it right next time,” she assures herself.

The camera pans away from the girls in the back as the producer tries to salvage the scene by directing actor Kenneth L. onto the set. Kenneth, who is always at the ready to add his drama, jumps in with an evil laugh… with ice cream dripping from the corner of his mouth he eagerly steps into place. With eyes rolling back in his head, Kenneth chants, “I scream, You scream, We ALL scream for ice cream!’ The producer grabs his megaphone, screaming, “CUT!!!! Why are you people putting your own spin on the story? I’m not asking for YOUR version of the story!! Stick with the way it was written or you’re outta here!!!”
“Go to commercial break! I can’t deal with this cast!” yells the producer as he pours himself a bourbon…
This episode is sponsored by “Crafty” the makers of the best dressing in the world to use on WORD SALADS, like these!
The producer returns and is hopeful that the next scene will be as good as his (liquid) confidence leads him to believe….
“Bring on the star of the show!,” he exclaims! The stage crew rushes to retrieve today’s leading actress. They nervously knock on her star studded door, knowing that she is going to be late. Please, please, please be ready… they prayed. Alas! She took them all by surprise when she burst through the door, announcing that she was ready to save the day!
“Come this way… the producer is waiting for you,” they beg. While flicking her golden hair back and forth, she demands, “Don’t interrupt me! I think we need to go THIS way…” The crew knows they just need to do what the producer pays them to do…. get her there. They help carry her bags of notes and evidence, knowing she will have a meltdown without them! They finally arrive on the set. Whew!!
With her bags surrounding her, she begins scribbling notes, turning her back to others as if they are irrelevant… which in her mind, THEY ARE.
The producer gingerly approaches her, knowing that he has a ticking time bomb on his hands, yet he MUST finish this episode. “Miss D…? Are you ready with your lines?” She reminds him…. “I am in total control. I was an attorney before I was an actress, I’m ALWAYS ready. I will start my lines now.”
Scene OVER.
Backstage, the producer poured himself another bourbon, realizing his leading actress has NO IDEA what she is doing and this episode is a TOTAL FAIL. He walks off the set. Later that evening…He called upon the people to help him.
