Hysterical, and Very Embarrassing


Here's the song Kathryn Leigh Scott, Marie Wallace, and I did at the festival in Tarrytown, June 2014.
The fan who volunteered to do the music cue messed up and didn't know which button to push. Ah, show business . . .

In case you can't hear us, or understand us, here's the script:

BACK STAGE AT DARK SHADOWS

(Kathryn, Lara and Marie are in the make-up room getting ready to go on)


K: I love doing love scenes with Jonathan, except when his fangs get tangled in my hair.

L: He remembers his lines?

K: Well, I do have to feed him a few, but he’s so romantic, don't you think Lara? 

L: Personally I think love scenes are boring. I liked our fight scenes.

K. Yes, well, you are better at fight scenes.

M: Now girls don't start.

Off Stage: Five minutes!

K: Has anyone seen my blusher?

L: You know, Marie, in our scene don't you think you're a little over the top?

K: Well that's the pot calling the kettle black.

M: Are you saying I'm over acting? She's crazy! Crazy Jenny is crazy!

L: I donno, all that screaming.

M: That was when I was playing Eve, two months ago. What's happening to your memory, Lara?"

L: Well, you acted just as crazy playing Eve.

M : I wasn't crazy, I was the reincarnation of a convicted murderess. Remember?!!

K: Don't mind her. Where's my blusher?

L: Your hair looks really nice today.

K: Thanks

L: Is that a wig?

M: You really are unbelievable.

K: I've told you both a million times that no one else is supposed to use my blusher.

L: Why is that again? 

K: I've got really nice skin and I need to protect it.

L: Oh right, I forgot. Your face is your fortune.

K: Yup, no face lifts for me.

M: Please, we have to go on in a minute. 

K: (sees brush in Lara's hand) Is that it?

L: (surprised) This?

K (slaps the brush out of Lara's hand.)  

L: Owww! You hit me!

K: (picks up brush) Don’t be a baby.

L: She hit me!

Some one calls "Places!"

M: It's time. Come on, weve got to go do our scene.

K: Nice costume, Lara. Too bad it didn't come in your color.

L: My color?

K: Yeah, green.

M: Girls! We're all in this together, right? Remember . . . ?
