Act III.

about

"Act III." is the rollicking response to F. Scott Fitzgerald's awful quote that "there are no second acts in American lives." And that response is, "Screw the script, we'll skip to Act III." This mindless can-do attitude in the face of theatrical hopelessness will surely thrill old and middleaged alike. Best line: "Let's make the best of this awkward blocking, this too-loud talking, this script that's actor-proof, the mask that moans and the mask that goofs."

lyrics

"Act III." [vonHummer]
F. Scott says I got no second act coming to me, Oh dear, then I better shift gears: screw the script we'll skip to Act III....Offhand, offstage, off-book: hats off to me, Audience ankled already? Well let me see if I can kill a few lights til the mood is right, To be or not to be: extemporizing, mesmerizing? Music, maestro, please...
Standing room only, every seat's been sold to emptiness, Cast and crew down to me and to you: let's make the best of this awkward blocking, this too-loud talking, this script that's actorproof, the mask that moans, and the mask that goofs...
