If this is not the subject you want...scroll down Dear Scabby Dear Scabby, My brother is in a small theatre group. The problem is, he prides himself on really "getting into" his part, whatever it is. For example, last fall he played a kleptomaniac in the show they did. Nothing was safe in our house after that! By the time his show opened, he had in his room about half the living room furniture, the family stereo, nine china plates, a potted plant, two lamps, 114 pens, five dictionarys, twelve sticks of gum, seven 9 volt batteries, and a volume of Shakespeare's complete works... I don't know where he got that. Boy, was my family relieved when that show was over. And that's not as bad as what happened last spring. His theatre group was doing "Peter Pan", and he got the leading role, Peter Pan. He was so excited! But he thought the flying didn't look very realistic, so he decided to learn how to fly for real. He spent hours every day jumping off things like low tree branches, and the roof of the car. I think everything would have been fine, had he not tried to jump off the roof of the house the day before the show opened. He broke his arm, and they didn't have an understudy for him, so they had to cancel the play! It was a disaster! But what worries me most is that they just had auditions for the next show, "Dracula". Guess who got the main part......? How can I prevent my brother from eating us alive by the end? Love, A Worried Sister in Sarasota Please send Scabby mail! Dear "Sister", That does sound troublesome. I would be slightly afraid myself. Of course, something very similar to this once happened to me. My sister REALLY WAS DRACULA! Just kidding!!! But I had a second cousin who was an artist, and they tried to discover the "motivation" of her subjects. It got kind of scary when she tried to paint Henry VIII. It was worse when she tried to scuplt a statue of Atilla the Hun. The thing was, she was always picking dangerous people or things as her subjects. We thought it would be okay for her to paint a still-life, but she painted a picture of a Declaration of War! So what we did whenever she looked for new material was give her something like a rabbit or a soft pillow or Mother Teresa to paint. She was totally cured after that. Well, the rabbit did try to bite her, and she was about to explore that motivation further, but we convinced her that it was a misunderstanding. My suggestion is to get your brother to explore the happier aspects of Dracula, and try to get the theater group to choose some safer material!!! Scabby May Flower Write to Scabby! CLICK HERE!
