"The Search For The Missing Amulet"

or: "Here I Am, Stuck In The Middle With You"

a festive pantomiming of the seasonal and herbal parsnip variety
currently in rehearsal, scripts still being edited and scenery not even yet painted. . .
and what about the score!! yikes, I knew I shouldn't have undertaken all this myself:
crikey, people, we need music!!
(and perhaps I need a little help?)

Finale, Final Scene

so, there we have it: Joe Valentine, PI, shot the Villain of Peace. . . who turned out to be the ultimate and yet unrevealed cross-dresser, but won an Oscar for his non-performance anyhow . . . Joe won the heart of his moll (who had a t-shirt made to celebrate) and they lived happily ever after; The Penguin With The Strange Case Of Amnesia won an Oscar for her dance sequences. . . . . .and retired to her special place in the snow and the ice until her services were required again; Lemonade Stand found a replacement and another replacement and exited stage left to live happily ever after (or at least until next year)
.
meanwhile, The Audience clapped and clapped. . .. . .until their hands became sore and their wrists ached (well, most of them did, one of them just got an aching wrist), hoping for an encore, or a least a little more plot development. . .
