Challenge Fourteen: A Practice in Creative Pitching

And we're back with the first of what I'm sure is going to be several challenges to come! Now, this one doesn't require you to post anything anywhere, except here in the comments (or, if it would be easier, in a post all on its own). Now, I personally call this challenge the Musical Challenge, inspired by Mama Mia! Here's the deal:

  • Pick your favorite artist or band. ONLY one artist or band...NOT an artist and a band.
  • Now, use your choice's discography (or discography so far) and choose either 10 songs or a full album.
  • Take those songs, and pitch us a play. Give us the characters (main characters who will have, should you actually want to write it out, several speaking roles...don't worry about minor characters right now). Give us the story (give us the beginning, the high point of the middle, and the end). Give us the setting (just a single setting, like a city or country or something, you don't have to give us every setting that might come into play).
  • And finally, most importantly, tell us about the scenes that will use each of the songs you choose.
  • BONUS: If you detail the choreography, and we're not looking for anything professional here, that would be fun.
  • Due: Oct. 2, 2009

Okay, and just post it here under the comments or make it its own separate Guild post. And remember, just have fun with it!

I will so be doing this. You never know, it might inspire the plot to a new story. You do realize this sounds so like something Peterson would have a field day doing. I just saw her 'bright eyed' expression in my head.
