The Long Story:
There once was a maiden / Who wandered the mead
The Gaian Theatre Company, approaching a year of existance, has mostly, you could say, re-enacted existing popular theatre pieces. However, the questionable legality of this and our eagerness to push things in new directions leads us to an idea we've had for a long time but have yet to act on: original scripts written by Gaians.
Before we hand the pen over to strangers, however, we're trying this as a sort of experiment. What is this exactly? Well...
Many of the veteran actors of the Gaian Theatre Company have fallen in love with the Tony-nominated musical Spring Awakening. Before the musical moved to Broadway, its second act used to start with a song called "There Once Was a Pirate", sharing a vague story of a pirate and a maiden as a sort of metaphor for the character's feelings and situation. We do not in any way expect you to be familiar with the song beyond the lyrics in the next post, nor the musical Spring Awakening. The GTC would like to, out of our love of SA and our love of pirates (the fun kind, not the scary realistic kind), make a script inspired by this song. And we want your help.
We'd like participants to submit for us a scene including the pirate and/or maiden mentioned in the song. Any other characters of your imagination can be included also. Write it as the beginning of the script or some scene in the middle that would rely on some earlier action or development that you don't give us -- feel free. The scriptwriters of the GTC will write what fits in around it. Do whatever you want -- comedy, action -- the nature of the script will depend on the scene(s) we decide to choose.
As for script writing... It's not too complicated. Your scripts should be in a form similar to this:
Submit however many separate submissions as you'd like to [O.G.] by June 1st.

So what's the deal with this song?!
