Pass the Ducks

AN EVENING OF COMEDY
by Brian Townsend

ON OUR STAGE IN THE SUMMER OF OUR 80TH SEASON

June 22-23 and 29-30, 2007
Sponsored by Vanguard Voices
and the Henry Ford Community College Music Department

THE SHOW

Pas de Deux – A dance for two, especially a dance in ballet consisting of an entrée and adagio, a variation for each dancer, and a coda. {French : pas, step + de, of, for + deux, two}

Pass the Ducks – A particularly bad pun based on the French pas de demux. Also, the show you are about to see.

What do you do when you’re blessed with a group of amazingly talented performers and an equally talented crew whose main mission is to make you laugh? You corral them, you cajole them, you coerce them with you best Mickey Rooney and say, “Hey, kids! Let’s put on a show!”

Thank you Tom and Stan, for cornering me that fateful day and saying, “You have a show we could do, right?” Thank you, Mr. Moseley, for being a rock and a partner in crime. Thank you Tim, for never being too tired to do one more thing. Thank you, Paul, for taking a seed of idea and cultivating something funny and beautiful. Thank you Alex, Marybeth, Phil, Margaret, Ken, Kori, Emily, Angela, Stan, Jeff, Sydnee, and Tiffany for laughs beyond my paltry scribblings. May we have many more times to make each other smile.

Thank you, audience, for being here. Enjoy yourselves. —Brian Townsend, Playwright/Director
