I like that! :D<br /></p><p>(Prologue. Full company sings opening song:)</p><p></p><p>COMPANY<br /> <em>No one knows what's at the bottom<br /> Of GREENCOOL POND<br /> It's the kind of adventure<br /> You can simply dive in on</em></p><p><em>No one knows what's at the bottom<br /> Whether you're young<br /> Or old, big or small<br /> No one's gonna stop you<br /> If you've heard the treasure's call<br /></em></p><p><em>Is it dark or mysterious<br /> Or shiny and fun or maybe serious?<br /> No one knows what's at<br /> The bottom of it all</em></p><p>(Scene 1. TATIANA and BRIAN in raft.)</p><p>BRIAN<br /> Okay, explain it Ms Hurwit.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> There's a rope and a weight here, Brian.</p><p>BRIAN<br /> Looks like a shoe.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> Yes, a shoe, but a heavy shoe.</p><p>BRIAN<br /> And I see the rope's knotted.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> Every three feet.</p><p>BRIAN<br /> Plus the shoe, that's four feet?</p><p>TATIANA<br /> No, I start at two feet and a shoe.</p><p>BRIAN<br /> Every three feet. I see, Ms Hurwit.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> "Ms Hurwit." That's so silly, Brian. And, of course, in the meantime...</p><p>BRIAN<br /> My favorite part.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> ...I'm making us a pot - </p><p>BRIAN<br /> Of black -</p><p>TATIANA<br /> Blackberry sorbet.</p><p>BRIAN<br /> <em>When the sun's hot<br /></em> <em>And the wind's forgotten<br /></em> <em>How to blow</em></p><p>TATIANA<br /> <em>Sun's hot<br /></em> <em>So what kinda kid won't sell<br /></em> <em>Her soul for a bowl<br /> Of freshly crushed ice-cold</em><br /> <em>Blackberry sorbet</em></p><p>BRIAN<br /> Ms Hurwit, will you have time to mind the bowl?</p><p>TATIANA<br /> Why wouldn't I, Brian?</p><p>BRIAN<br /> Seems like I should do it, Ms Hurwit. After all, you'll be at the bottom of the pond.</p><p>TATIANA<br /> I'm not jumping in today, Brian. Today is what we treasure hunters call exploratory work.</p><p></p><p>Thus begins the story of fiesty Tatiana Hurwit and her loyal sidekick, Brian, in a world of wetlands treasure-hunting, dealing with a rich brat competitor, making peace with a goofy forest spirit, learning about science and statistics, and living it all out in song, song, song!<br /><br /><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8108796871,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}8108796871,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="500" class="align-full" alt="8108796871?profile=original" /></a>(cc) Fort Meade on Flickr<br /><br />The fun began, for me, when I felt driven to write something educational and 100% fun for kids, in the form of a one act play. The story took me over and spit me (and a script) out in a mere seven days. "Wow!" I thought. "That was fun!" And, as soon as I finished reading the one act, all I could think was how amazing this would be as a musical.</p><p>That's when the opening line came to me.</p><p>"No one knows what's a the bottom of Greencool Pond...."</p><p>And, I was off!</p><p>Another week passed, and I came down from the mountain with two stone tablets - Oh, wait! Wrong story. ;O)</p><p>But that's what it was like. </p><p>I knew, as soon as I picked up the pen (The first draft was long-hand), that I wanted there to be almost too many songs. I was tired of musicals that only had an occasional song and were mostly talk, talk, talk. And, I knew that I wanted the songs to drive the story. I was tired of songs that seemed to interrupt the action, slow down the story, or that seemed to want to live outside the story more than in it.</p><p>And, I wanted spectacle and dance!</p><p>And, everything I wanted I got! YAY! Writing THE BLACKBERRY KIDS GO TREASURE HUNTING was a job from Heaven! And, best of all, I love the whole world of Pondside. I loved the heroic characters: Tatiana, Brian, and Rachel (a.k.a. Rocky) - the Food Co-op Refrigerator Door Weekly's reporter. And I also love the villain, believe it or not: Perky, the rich brat, along with that seeming forest spirit of ambiguous morality (and the villain's biggest fan) Mickel!</p><p>To me, they're ALL the Blackberry Kids.</p><p>I thoroughly appreciate having had the chance to field all those energies, and capture them on paper. Seeing the magic on stage - the very thought makes my heart swell!</p><p>Ahhhhh!</p><p>I love being a writer! :D</p><p>Sunshine & Blessings,<br /> Giovani</p></div>How to remove yourself from the implants abilities!
