Idea for a Cracked Eggs Studios sponsored play

The muse has come to me, dear friends!
I have decided that I now want to write a short short play about one night in my life:
The night was a cold brisk night in November 2005, the year of our lord.
Two groups would arrive at a theater, never expecting to find each other, but will they both come out alive....?
Enter our hero: Pegasus, the magnifico! His visions and gudiance turned a nonexistant movie studios into a small, yet existant, movie studios! He came that night looking to capture yet another masterpiece.
Enter his crew: Bandit, the crew hand! The young friend of Pegasus who offers perspectives to a situation. And the two adventurors Mr. T and Gunther, who are out to discover the shocking truth about Pegasus' past...and search tenaciously for a sacred satchel...what it holds may save the world! What is inside? Diamonds? Weapons? An Ipod? The answer might be too shocking for some!
The man and his crew stop in to record another masterpiece, a shakespearian rendition of JB starring the king man with all the ladies, Niki Moto! And also staring the pussy man lopresti.
But, just as the night seems to be going smooth, the unthinkable happens....
Across the balcony, another group enters, this group TEARING AT THE VERY FABRIC AT THE CREW ITSELF
The lady in group makes contact with Pegasus's eyes, and she begins to feel the sting of an old love, as Pegasus feels the desire to get all up in that again. BUT FORLORN, the lady has returned to her old lover, and a love triangle insues between the lady, her new man, and Pegasus desire for her tasty "goodies". Mr.T and Gunther will try vivilously to uncover the truth, and find the satchel.

WILL LOVE PREVAIL?
WILL PEGASUS GET SOME?
WILL MR. T RECOVER HIS IPOD?
WILL SAM GET SMACKED? (yes)
IS GROEPLER A HOMO?
WHAT ABOUT DAVID RYAN?!
AND A SECRET RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NIKI AND A WOMAN, UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYES OF A TRUSTING PIMP KNOWN ONLY TO SOME AS "DA BACON"?!?!?!

THE ANSWERS WILL COME SOON ENOUGH AS CRACKED EGGS STUDIOS IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE PLAY, WRITTEN AND REWRITTEN BY TOM FULGIONE, KNOWN TO THE WORLD SIMPLY AS "The Balcony"

Coming whenever I feel like it to a room near you!
 
Bravo, Tom! What a great idea for a play. Though it seems to be quite complex for "a short short play." At first I wasn't sure you were referring to the play night, but I guess you were. I also didn't realize at first what the "sacred satchel" was, but when I did I laughed. I love the way you describe everything. It slightly reminds me of my speech in the intro to "The Free United Club of Kids." Plus, it might be hard to have such a play as "JB" within this "play." But anyway, this sounds awesome. Is it all based on fact? Because I certainly wasn't aware of that love triangle going on with that other group that night. But if you would like to stretch the truth for theatrical purposes, I think it would be a good idea to elaborate on Groepler's lifestyle. And yes, what about David Ryan? That really is torturing me. And yeah, that secret relationship involving Niki...that wasn't the same night, but whatever, it doesn't have to be entirely historically accurate. Well, those are my thoughts on your masterpiece. Good work!
 
No, Nick, there was a love triangle going on. That's actually the main event that inspired the play. It actually occurred while you were in makeup or something and during the play.
 
Cool, so it was like any other night when Pegasus and Mr. T are in the same place. Too bad they wouldn't let us hang out in the theater before the play. That only makes me look forward to this even more. When you think about it, it's actually a lot like a big Seinfeld episode, just with a lot more characters. I would ask if this would be a musical, but to be honest it doesn't really sound like it should be a play, more like some indie film.
 
I'll see if i can work out a few songs for this brilliant play of mine, and well see what comes too.

the original idea was for it to be a short play entirely taking place on the balcony, but then i got the idea for several side stories too:
30 mins in the life of groepler
The Seduction of Niki Moto
The adventures of Ryan (not to be confused with the legend of ryan)
The search for the satchel
The life and death and Bitchslapping of Sam Lopresti
and many others, and I've decided this cant be a short one act play anymore, this must be an epic
 
By the way, in the event that we ever do make this, would we just get new actors to play all the characters, or just use the original people the characters are based on?

And I really want to know what happens with David Ryan!
 
Here is a small portion of the script:


Rich: Ted, they're calling you over, let's go.
Ted: ...
Rich: Come on, Tom and Vinny are waving you in.
Ted: No, you see that guy they're talking to? He wants to kick my ass. He just said "No, if he comes over here I'll hit him in the face."
Rich: Come on, Ted, why would he wanna kick your ass? It's not like you fucked his girlfriend.
Ted: ...
Rich: What? You fucked his girlfriend?
Ted: Really, Rich. What kind of question is that?
Rich: Are you serious? That's like ultimate bragging rights. I can't believe it - you actually fucked his girlfriend? If I fucked someone's girlfriend, I'd be like "Hey, guess what? I fucked your girlfriend."
Ted: That's the difference between me and you, Rich. I don't say anything. Notice I never actually told you that I fucked that guy's girlfriend.
Rich: I still don't believe it. Wow.
Ted: Yeah... I don't believe it either, Rich...
 
ok, after much thought, i decided i'm gonna spend time this summer getting this mother fucker off the ground, as its been a year without any fruitful results.

look to hear from me sometime soon
 
Good to hear, Tom. It's been like a year since a lot of things we need to get moving again! [cough] Nick-Bongomon-exposition [/cough]
