PPP Pitch

Eric and Kaitlyn wrote this together after I left Kaitlyn's house, so I don't really know what this is. Especially the theatre part that I didn't understand, they still wrote theatre-in-the-round. Maybe I'm confusing things, I don't even know anymore. But this is the pitch:

Our inspiration for this was Calvin’s toy Hobbes. It will be about a young boy and his father who lost his job and the family has to move into a Hooverville. In the play, the father finds a new job in a candy factory. He begins at the bottom occupation as a person who places candies in the boxes. In the beginning, he is ill-tempered, but his son inspires him to work harder. Eventually, he becomes a manager and succeeds. The father will wear ragged clothes in the beginning, and as he becomes wealthier, his clothes will become more formal. His son will have ragged clothes as well. The people competing with the father for jobs will also be wearing ragged clothing. The boss will wear a suit. It will take place in a theatre-in-the-round stage to make the audience feel closer to the performance. The lighting will be very dark and ominous in the beginning and towards the end; the stage will be brightly lit to show how wealthy he has become. There aren’t many props that will be used, maybe a conveyer-belt-looking-thing with some boxes and candies on top to show them working. Also, the child will have a toy tiger that he talks to and plays with. Father will have a suitcase as he goes higher up in pay. The set will be made mostly of cardboard boxes in the beginning, and there will be more furniture in their house towards the end of the play.

The word count is 249 which is pretty amazing. At least I think it's amazing. I'm just blogging about this since I haven't in a while.
