The Dramatics: Theater Tour and Workshop!!!!!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
You are sitting at your desk, trying to figure out the algebra worksheet your teacher gave you. Maybe you shouldn’t have asked for extra homework, you think, staring at the pile of history packets and writing assignments that threaten to fall off of your desk. Oh well, you sigh, picking up your pencil again, and turning your attention back to your homework. Hmmm, what’s 7c(-4) + 97? You stare fiercely at the paper, twirling your pencil, using the sheer force of your brain power to make the answer to magically pop onto the the paper, when a creamy envelope drops onto your desk in a shower of rainbow sparkles.
Oooh! Your homework is gone (temporarily, at least), and you pick up the envelope. Immediately, you notice that there is no address on the front. Turning it over, you find a wax seal (like the kind in Harry Potter) embossed with a capital “D”. You slide your thumb under the envelope’s flap, and break the seal to reveal even more rainbow glitter inside of the envelope. You pour it out, puzzled, and watch as the glitter magically transfigures into a letter. You’re even more surprised when it begins to speak:
“Ahem. Dear Chatterboxer, you have been invited to an exclusive theater tour and workshop hosted by The Dramatics theater. Enjoy acting classes, costume designing courses, and choreography workshops based on a selection of noteworthy musicals, including Hamilton! You may bring two guests to accompany you during your stay at the 5-star Theater Tale Hotel. Pack your bags quickly, because space is limited to 12 CBers and their guests. Simply step outside to be teleported to your destination!
Enjoy your stay,
The Stage Manager
The Dramatics: Theater Tours and Workshops
Wow,you think. You love musical theater, and an excuse to skip school would be great. . . Even though you love school, you don’t really love the homework. Then the letter begins to speak again:
“Oh, dear me, I’d almost forgotten the terms and conditions!
1. You may not bring tortillas of any kind, as the Stage Manager happens to have an incredibly abnormal allergy to tortillas.
2. The Dramatics: Theater Tours and Workshops are not responsible for any injuries, abductions, highway robberies, or murders of any sort.
3. Please contact the Stage Manager with any queries regarding the selection of musicals. You may suggest one, and the Stage Manager will consider it depending on the amount of chocolate and books you bring her.
4. There will be no wi-fi signal at the theater, so there is no need to bring any electronic devices. There will be iPod-like devices for guests to listen to Hamilton all day.
5. Walls are sound-proof for any guests who would NOT like to hear Hamilton all day.
6. In the (unlikely) event of an emergency, the theater has communication devices to reach the outside world.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOT THE CROISSANTS!!! MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST FOOOD.....DESTROYED! *poses dramatically*
Oh, and I suppose that I'm upset about Brian.

I'm a girl.

Oh my marshmallows I'm excited!

Oh, I seemed to have forgotten to mention this to you, dear Stage Manager. I am no longer BumbleBuddy, for I have shed my down and sprouted my flight feathers. I am now The Artist, but Mystery, Surprise, Tulip, and Spirit-rain still remain with me.

Day 2, Half of Part 2
“Noooo!!! Not the croissants!!!” wailed Icy. “My favorite breakfast food. . . DESTROYED!” The AEs took Icy’s outburst as an excuse to have a food fight.
“Croissants for all!!!” screamed Surprise, pelting Princess Icicle with squashed jam danishes.
“Aah!!” squealed Princess Icicle. “Not my brand-new dress!” She picked up a hard-boiled egg that had rolled to the floor. “Take that!”
But unfortunately, Princess Icicle missed, and beaned Stan in the back of the head.
“Wha-?” Stan whipped around to find Princess Icicle grinning guiltily. But before the Princess could manage a word, she was drenched from head to toe in orange juice.
Stan grinned. “Thanks, Charles!” he shouted.
“Charles. .” growled Princess Icicle, turning around. But Charles was already gone, and Princess Icicle ended up accidentally smashing Milli in the face with an avocado toast.
“Ooops! Didn’t see you there, Mili.” Princess Icicle heard an unnatural growl come out from beneath the layer of avocados, and decided it was a good time to scatter.
In the midst of the pancake hurling, the CBers were trying to (unsuccessfully) duck the flying breakfast foods and trying to round up their AEs and CAPTCHAs. Who knew that French toast was so deadly?
Meanwhile, the murderer was secretly plotting, when an idea suddenly hit them (quite literally, believe it or not.) A muffin smashed them in the face. Poisoned muffins, thought the murderer. Perfect. They watched for the next volley of cranberry muffins, and caught one before it hit them in the face again. They stuffed the muffin into their pocket while no one was watching, and turned back to the group.
“What are we ever going to do about this?” yelled Owlgirl over the noise.
“I don’t know,” screamed Shadowcat, “But the Stage Manager’s expecting us in 5 minutes!”
The Riddler was daydreaming. Well, not really daydreaming. More like singing Hamilton in her head while the CBers discussed ways to stop the food fight. She was almost through “Ten Duel Commandments” when on a whim, she yelled, “NUMBER TEN! PACES! FIRE!”
Immediately, the food chucking and screaming stopped. Everyone stared at the Riddler. Seeing that she had the floor, (however unintentional her intentions were), the Riddler told all the AEs to clean up or else they would miss the acting class. Begrudgingly, the AEs (actually for once) did as they were told. Apparently they liked acting better than flying croissants. Soon the dining room was (somewhat) clean again, and the CBers, AEs, and CAPTCHAs headed to the main stage.
Later~
“What were you thinking, Fluffy?!” Windswift was most definitely not happy with her AE at the moment. Nor was she happy with her CAPTCHA, but Waffle had mysteriously flown off in the last minute.
“Well, in my defense, I was left unsupervised.” said Fluffy.
“Unsupervised? You call an entire room of CBers unsupervised?!” Windswift obviously had more to say, but Fluffy was saved from another one of Windswift’s lectures by the Stage Manager.
“Greetings, CBers! You look a bit— pastry-covered, but I won’t ask. Today is our very first acting workshop in the history of the theater!” She paused to clear her throat, but Kestrel took the opportunity.
“You mean to say that you’ve never done an acting workshop before?”
“Oh, did I say that?” The Stage Manager looked a bit embarrassed. “Yes, in fact, dear Kestrel, although we have had many plays performed here before, we have not had an acting workshop— until today! Now, let’s get on with the first exercise.”
Some of the CBers looked skeptical at first, but they shrugged. An acting workshop, no matter what kind, was certainly better than algebra homework.
“I will be splitting you up into three different groups. One group will work with me, another group will work with my assistant-” The Stage Manager gestured to a tall auburn haired girl whom the CBers hadn’t noticed up until then. “And the last group will work with one of our resident actors.” An identical girl stepped out of the shadows and waved at the group. “And now for your groups!

Ellak

Icy
