  OR
2. Find one object in your room, create a fantastic story about this object: where did it come from? why do you own it? why is it important? The story should be fun, full of energy, and contain detailed descriptions. Be prepared to tell this fantastic story to the director. It should not be longer than 2 minutes.

About the Play

On the outskirts of town stands a ramshackle house. It may not seem like much 'til you peek through the railings…then, there's a horse on the porch, a monkey in the kitchen and a freckle faced, red-pigtailed, whirlwind of a girl in mismatched stockings presiding over all! This is the domain of — ready? — Pippilotta Delicatessa Windowshade Mackrelmint Ephraim's Daughter Longstocking.
