tonight two friends and i are participating in something called Combat Theater, and you are all welcome to join in. this is how it works...

at 8pm a group of writers begin writing a play. at 8am they turn over their play to a director and some actors, who have until 8pm to rehearse. the play is then performed.

my friends and i are writers, and all we know is that we have 3 females and 1 male to write for. if you have plot ideas or random input, let's have it!

One character should just sit in an easy chair stroking a stuffed animal and asking for more tapioca.

hehehehe. that's not half bad...

one suggested idea we are toying with is a door-to-door salesman/woman interupts a suburban swing party. but that might just get gross.

A swing party might work, but I think you would need to fill the dialogue with tons of double entendres and misunderstandings--the old trick of having two people talking past each other and the humor lay in the misunderstandings.

if it's a swinger party, you could create a confusion where the Salesman is mistaken as a role-player...

I don't think porn was the original intention, somehow Tex.

and I wasn't suggesting porn... I merely thought it would be amusting if the salesman was confused as a role-playing salesman by the swingers...
