Ahoy, I'll try to keep this under 3,500 words this time... I've got a final lineup for the show, and we have sourced most of the props etc. Stuff in CAPITALS is stuff I haven't sourced yet, so if anyone has any ideas, shout them out ! Lisa, our newly appointed MC, will introduce the show. Looking at the lineup, with v.short breaks between acts, it'll probably come in in under two hours... If you're on the panto list and haven't got a part, please come along to the show anyway, it's for a very good cause. And bring your mates, enemies, pets, random homeless people, assorted crazies and anyone else you can think of... I'll be out at the Ballymun Rd entrance at 8am, if anyone feels like joining me for a spot of festive flyer distributing... Lisa will be flogging tickets in the HUB from 12 to 2, I'm sure she could do with some company while she's there, if anyone's available. FINAL RUNNING ORDER PLUS CAST: MC Lisa will introduce the show with a few words about St. Michael's House… 1: Blackadder's Christmas Carol Sketch (I wanted to open with this one anyway, and Gary has to be elsewhere later on Tuesday night, so this suits everyone...) Needed: CHRISTMAS CARD, TWIG, Blackadder Theme music if possible. 2: Siobhan reads the 1st letter. (Spot Stage L / "12 days of Xmas") 3: Hotel Soap Sketch (Alternate spots, stage L + R) 4: Siobhan reads the 2nd letter. (Spot Stage L) 5: 2 Songs from Bernard (Spot centre stage / vocal mic / guitar mic) 6: Siobhan reads the 3rd letter. (Spot stage L) 7: Claire plays the DEVIL.

(Spot centre / PHONE RINGING SOUND EFFECT, ANSWERING MACHINE PROP, BELL, SQUEAKY TOY, HOLLOW TUBE, DICTAPHONE OR SOMETHING LIKE IT) (Tricky technical bit: the gag is that the argument between the two leads is used as the ansaphone message at the end) 4: Siobhan reads the 8th letter.

(Spot stage R) 12: Grand Finale: "To Hell with the knights" (subdued lighting) (We've got a big fuck-off bag of props, costumes etc, and we've done it before, so it should be smooth....)
