It was worth it. Every costume, every drop of blood and sweat that went into these costumes paid off for us. My wonderful cast did a dynamite job of selling the sketch to the audience and my husband who directed it knows how to keep the audience entertained. Bottom line is that\u2019s why I do these large projects, to entertain the audience. I get a thrill even when I am not onstage hearing the audience reaction to what we have done. We had great audience reactions.<\/p>\n
The Sketch: Depp Charge<\/p>\n
Jack Sparrow and Mr. Gibbs come out stage right into a spot. Gibbs tells Jack that he has found a crew as mad as him to take on this venture. At that point the audience hears the beginning of \u201cIn the Navy\u201d by the Village People. Gibbs starts to clap along and the audience starts to laugh. Jack says, \u201cWhere is the bloody music coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n
From stage right comes Willy Wonka in all his new garbed glory. He strikes a pose and hands a Wonka Bar to Jack. He then processes to lip sync to the lead vocals of the song.<\/p>\n
Where can you find pleasure
\nSearch the world for treasure
\nLearn science technology<\/i><\/p>\n
Enter J.M. Barrie with his Indian Headdress and Duck. The audience\u2019s laughter picks up<\/p>\n
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
\nOn the land or on the sea<\/i><\/p>\n
Enter Ed Wood with a pink sweater, black skirt, blond wig, black socks with men\u2019s garters, a moustache and a director\u2019s megaphone. More laughter and I can tell that most of the audience \u201cgets\u201d what we are doing,<\/p>\n
Where can you learn to fly
\nPlay in sports and skin dive
\nStudy oceanography<\/i><\/p>\n
Enter Edward Scissorhands and the audience that didn\u2019t get it then got it<\/p>\n
Sign of for the big band
\nOr sit in the grandstand
\nWhen your team and others meet<\/i><\/p>\n
Barrie, Wood, and Scissorhands start to dance some great Village People like choreography.<\/p>\n
In the navy
\nYes, you can sail the seven seas
\nIn the navy
\nYes, you can put your mind at ease
\nIn the navy
\nCome on now, people, make a stand
\nIn the navy, in the navy
\nCan’t you see we need a hand
\nIn the navy
\nCome on, protect the motherland
\nIn the navy
\nCome on and join your fellow man
\nIn the navy
\nCome on people, and make a stand
\nIn the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)<\/p>\n
They want you, they want you
\nThey want you as a new recruit<\/i><\/p>\n
Gibbs hands Wonka a bucket and they start tossing candy into the audience while Jack marches forward to lead his crew who follow him<\/p>\n
If you like adventure
\nDon’t you wait to enter
\nThe recruiting office fast
\nDon’t you hesitate
\nThere is no need to wait
\nThey’re signing up new seamen fast
\nMaybe you are too young
\nTo join up today
\nBout don’t you worry ’bout a thing
\nFor I’m sure there will be
\nAlways a good navy
\nProtecting the land and sea<\/i><\/p>\n
More great Village People choreography and then they march off to roars or laughter and applause.<\/p>\n
In the navy
\nYes, you can sail the seven seas
\nIn the navy
\nYes, you can put your mind at ease
\nIn the navy
\nCome on now, people, make a stand
\nIn the navy, in the navy
\nCan’t you see we need a hand
\nIn the navy
\nCome on, protect the motherland
\nIn the navy
\nCome on and join your fellow man
\nIn the navy
\nCome on people, and make a stand
\nIn the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)<\/p>\n
They want you, they want you<\/i><\/p>\n
I won for workmanship for all the costumes I did as a whole. The workmanship judge pointed out to the audience exactly how insane I am for creating such great costumes with such attention to detail. The group won 1st place in the Champions Cup (which is our division) and Best Presentation. I am very proud of everyone of them.<\/p>\n
I am grateful to Peter for directing the sketch and Ariel, Danicah, Robbie, Katie, Rachel, and Marina for being in the sketch and doing such a great job. It meant a lot to me guys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
