Me too - I'll prompt, paint scenery, be the pumpkin or anything small really...

I'll sell popcorn in the interval, if that's any help.

I'll do props and general goferness...

And sarcasm.

Ooh, and I'll get things for the audience to throw at the stage.

And chocolate for the cast to throw at... I mean, to the audience.

Yeah ..... Baron Harduppe. That's me all right. But who shall be Cinders? and which one of you lovely ladies is to be Prince Charming? (yes, you heard right, ladies. Prince Charming is a girl's part, involving much slapping of stocking thighs.) Come in, volunteers for Prince Charming - ridicule is nothing to be scared of!

The Ugly Sisters are no problem, however. Aren't they, PSD and Ptolemy?

I'll volunteer for some fairly minor role. Do we have a scene in which either a doctor or a (rather inept) wizard is called in to give professional advice?

In Cinderella, Simon? There is a kindly father who disappears early on...

I think I could do a decent wicked stepsister. (Have been practising in the gutter!)

Yeeeesssss......

I reckon I agreed too readily for that. I could dye my hair and be a lovely Cinders.

Do we want this to be a secret from all not-involved fforumites (as in those that join when we're half-way through, etc.)? Because if we do we could have a yahoogroup type thing and post on that all matters panto. You could probably use the files and pictures section for easy viewing of scripts and programmes and whatnot too.

Idea?

And I'm glad someone likes my stories.

And there is something lower than the gutter - Australia. (ducks flying heavy objects) I mean geographically speaking, of course....

I can very quickly create a bespoke forum over on the Terrascope site for listed members only if that helps, Sarah? ie it wouldn't be visible to anyone but those who have access to that area. We can discuss plots - and include coloured text easily too if we need to highlight certain areas for others to review. Pictures can be included in-line, or I can set up a "gallery" as well if necessary.

Entirely up to you though. Either way count me in!

Baron Hardup is the father.

I could be the (very short) wicked stepmother. I've got a couple of wigs and I bet Sarah could help me make some fabulous OTT costumes.

Well, they're normally played by blokes in drag. and unless you're keeping something quiet...



PSD

This is the work of an Italian narco-anarchic collective. Don't bother insulting them, they can't read English anyway.

Ptolly - I couldn't log in/register. It kept bringing up the whatsit agreement.

And I got away with the Australia gag. I'm so pleased...

Well, if I can't be an ugly stepsister, can I be the wicked stepmother? (I'm really feeling the need to be wicked right now.)

Mwahahahaha!!!

We could have 'random wicked relatives' if we get too many applicants for the three 'wicked' roles.

Has anybody tried any firm casting yet? If not I'll try later...
