MEDIA ALERT--(COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Mar 10, 2003--Four couplets? Two lines? Rhymin� lines? This is as easy as Mother Goose!
That�s right, all you have to do is make up four rhyming couplets for the opening dance number and if you are chosen as the winner you and a friend are off to New York City for a long weekend of hanging out with some really �kewl� people and attending the opening of DeSkToPsToRy, the modern, interactive musical built for both the stage and the Internet. You�ll wind up backstage too. Here is a bit of information; find the whole enchilada at DeSkToPsToRy.com.
The majority of DeSkToPsToRy�s action and music takes place in Cyberspace, so it�s understandable that the opening musical number would have something to do with possibly some Internet situational comedy.
Here are examples:
I�ve got a mouse; it�s here in my pocket.
Here�s the plug, now where�s your socket?
Or I love this one:
I�ve got my computer hooked up to my modem.
At web sites X rated, the girls I download �em.
And yes girls, you�re not to be left out:
Carrie-oky�s my name, as you can see I�m attractive.
I guess you could say, my sex life�s interactive.
Go check it out at www.desktopstory.com; Interactive artistic collaboration via the World Wide Web. The show is developing a cult following. The musical project is a first, and unlike the strict passivity of most entertainment, DeSkToPsToRy allows everyone the opportunity to become active participants in �the process� of developing a Broadway show by accessing and engaging in many different features on the web site.
All theatrical projects are collaborative, but only DeSkToPsToRy employs the Internet as the meeting ground for the audience and show members to exchange their ideas and feedback through E-mail, lyric submissions, and many other collaborative opportunities at www.desktopstory.com. By the time the show reaches the stage, thousands of people will know the characters, the songs, and the cast and most likely many will have contributed to it. If the success of an entertainment property is measured by the size of an audience, then this show is well on its way to achieving that critical mass and it�s something you won�t want to miss.
