Haha, these are great.  Serious Pumpkins is now in the lead.  I like "Assignation Crash Pad" but it sounds like a Captain Beefheart record.  That gives me an idea, one of the characters should have a coked-up monologue about Captain Beefheart.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Wow, Half-Mirror is actually pretty amazing.  SSIRFPA isn't quite right for this but is also fantastic.  I might use it for one of my "real" plays.

THIS MUST HAPPEN.  (Grote writes one hell of a coked-up monologue)

What's a Mike Show type play? It doesn't sound good.

Wow, thanks, everybody, this is great.

OK, I'm definitely doing the Captain Beefheart monologue, though it might just be about psych rock in general.  Can anyone recommend any good books on psych rock?  Is that Jim DeRogatis book any good?

Mike, a "Mike Show Play" basically means a lot of grim stuff happens in it.  Rape, various kinds of murder including infanticide, sexually transmitted disease, gross sex (the British playwright Mark Ravenhill evidently loves hearing actors talk in graphic detail about disgusting sexual acts), and so on.  I'm actually combining a couple of the childhood humiliation calls for the obligatory Dark Secret In The Characters' Pasts.

Let me guess. One of the characters never learned how to do a somersault? I'd go see that!
See God, Kai

Brilliant.
