Any Questions Please email: damonhyper@gmail The Scenario: Dust off your disco duds, poof up your pompadour and get ready to get down at the hottest spot this side of the seventies -- its opening night at the Drop Dead Disco. Putting aside personal differences, club owners Paulie, Esther & Cotton Blend are pulling out all the stops to put a glow in your mood ring and a song in your heart. Their inheritance depends on it. Persuaded by their adopted parents to abandon previous occupations, the Blend Siblings have decided to operate a discotheque. From inception to completion, the only thing the three agreed on was the name: DROP DEAD. Paulie has hired a blind person to be the DJ - blind people have great hearing was his rationale. Cotton got the doorman through a friend for a favour and Esther is contributing a contest idea - shes even picked up a few prizes. Dont ask if they were paid for. Paulies a little worried about a rumour that an undercover investigator from IRS will be in the club - he knows that, at the end of the night, the money and the receipts wont match up. Esther is keeping crooked company, and this is Cottons first public appearance since he got out of jail. They are all taking a chance on the nightlife. The Characters: Paulie Blend * is a neat freak extraordinaire, and his life is going from bad to worse. The DJ is blind, his girlfriend left him, the Doorman isn’t what he seems, the Mob is moving in, his siblings are slobs, the disco is dirty and he wants everything cleaned up. Esther Blend has a secret source of income, a secret skill and a secret relationship. She wishes her bothersome brothers, especially Paulie, would drop dead. Cotton Blend* hired the blind DJ and the suspicious Doorman. When not in jail, Cotton is working to turn the disco into a casino. He likes to gamble and wants to be the house because the house always wins. Donna O’Shea, Disco Dance Queen and Paulie’s angry ex-girlfriend. Donna will do anything to win the dance contest. She’s a paranoid walking arsenal and extremely moody. Johnny Fever, a mobster and a loan shark and proud of it; with a secret obsession for auctions. Johnny loves Elvis, hates disco and is frequently outbid by Paulie on Ebay. Stevie Awesome, the blind DJ who wants to keep her job and is quick to yell discrimination if anyone interrupts her continuous play and suggests being blind is a handicap to scratching vinyl. Hugo Grommet, the doorman, is supposed to be hot for Esther but seems to have a little something going on with Donna. He’s very interested in people’s financial information. **Please Note: Paulie Blend & Cotton Blend are played by the same actor**
