guest appearances

David & I just spoke about the possibility of guest appearances in the show. He thought it was a workable possibility and suggested that I blog about it. I was thinking that if the show has a cabaret/performance aspect to it, it would be easy to drop in a guest act without changing the flow of the show (kinda like when Todd made his brief appearance in Op Op -- but this time you could schedule your guests in advance.)

For my guest spot: I have a character named Gita Chanteuse who is a one-eyed, Romanian cabaret singer. She sings in German, because she was part of the Berlin cabaret scene back in the day. I would LOVE to bring her back to sing a song for the show. For material, maybe I could do an actual period German cabaret song, or maybe Liz has something perfect, or we could probably work up some intro that she's in the audience and the characters beg her to sing, she finally agrees to and then the only song the musicians and she know in common is Silent Night, which she sings in German as if it's a torch song...

Anyway, that's the idea. David knows the character if you have questions (picture her in evening dress with an eye patch). I miss you all!! big hugs, g
