When you buy a house, you buy the neighborhood. Better to have the WORST house in a great neighborhood than the BEST house in a terrible neighborhood.

We did this as part of our Olympics of the Mind presentation circa '87-'88 and as a general performance.. OCHS (ocean city, new jersey).. we went a little more postmodern and experimental with it, really amping up the absurdism and surrealism.. but it's all there.. wow, thanks for the memories..

Cool to hear people are still performing it! Your production sounds like a lot of fun.

@@dtraversscott It was.. it was part of what was called the 'gifted' program in our public school system back in the mid 80's.. basically, creative innovative types that didn't quite fit the normal model. I was a bright kid but a bit bored and a bit of a slacker when it came to normal school work, these classes were the only ones I truly engaged in and they helped shape a whole lot of my life, as did the teachers.. Patrick Mulvaney was such a teacher, more of a mentor.. he was an Irish pixie of a man, in his 50's but so energetic and youthful that he was often mistaken for a student by other teachers when he first started.. he was really passionate and relatable who treated us like human beings rather than just students.. he helped open my teenaged mind up to so much.. I mean imagine living in a small town and in your sophomore year spending a period watching and then discussing 'the Cabinet of Dr Caligari' or the group of us being given a box of all kinds of handheld lights and being asked to come up with a group performance on a dark stage with our only instruction is to set it to the music, which was the very first recording ever of electronic music.. it was a true education. heh, before this he was teaching prisoners.. he was an amazing man and I owe him so much. We performed 'The Interview' at The Olympics of the Mind and got great feedback (it wasn't a competition) and a few other times.. and what we did with it really opened my mind to the possibilities of theater (and probably is responsible for my strong absurdist streak to this day, lol).. We'd do these human tableaus as added transitions, as we did a larger presentation with the interview as only one part, like where, without props, we turned the stage into an operating room, two people were the table, the patient laid out on top, another the doctor and nurse, and the rest were 'the machine that goes beep' where we'd take turns being the drawn line of the heartbeat.. till it went into defib, stopped, and then was restarted.. and then the scene would dissolve into the next performance piece.. well, I tell you one thing.. it sure beat the standard high school musicals.. Ha! (we still did those as part of drama club, tho a different teacher usually).. and it wasn't just performance, art, and writing, it was engineering, and science as well.. a pretty well rounded experience.. I didn't end up in theater, I went into music and eventually ended up as a sound engineer and am now developing my writing, which has been with me since youth but more as a personal thing.. my sound career got cut short due to a disability, tho it continues still in limited fashion but I've kept the lessons I learned from Mr Mulvaney close to me after all this time, now fast approaching 50.. I thought I'd share these memories with you as thanks for stirring them with your video.. cheers.

Wow, Trav... THANKS for doing this! I can't believe how much the lines (and all the counting in my head) come rushing back to me as I watch this. And I can still feel the sting of Kim slapping me in this scene. I am so grateful that we got to experience theatre that is non-traditional (for high schools) back then.
