[ba-filk] Consonance 2003: The Search For Chekov

[Alan Thiesen <thiesen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Consonance is going to stage the filk operetta "HMS Trek-a-Star", written 
mostly by Dorothy Jones Heydt and Karen Anderson, to tunes by Gilbert and 
Sullivan from "HMS Pinafore." As far as we know, "Trek-a-Star" has been 
staged only twice: at Westercon in 1967 and at Worldcon in 1968.

We are still looking for someone to play the part of Chekov. If you would 
like to volunteer, email Alan Thiesen at thiesen at netwizards dot net.

We think "HMS Trek-a-Star" is very cleverly done. To read the script, go to 
http://www.consonance.org, click on "Events", scroll down to the heading 
"Consonance Workshops", and glance up one line.

You may perform with script in hand, but you will be expected to read 
through the script beforehand and make sure you know the melodies you will 
sing, so that only one run-through will be needed at the con prior to the 
actual performance. Both the rehearsal and the performance will be on 
Sunday, March 9.

Costumes are desirable but optional. A sign with your character's name on 
it is sufficient. Any other costuming is icing on the cake.

Thanks!
