Caroline: In 1995, we were among the 45 young actors in the very first Play Group Theatre production, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Lysander: (waking) And run through fire I will for thy sweet sake. Transparent Helena! Nature shows art That through thy bosom makes me see thy heart. Where is Demetrius? Oh, how fit a word !Is that vile name to perish on my sword! Helena: Do not say so, Lysander. Say not so. What though he love your Hermia? Lord, what though? !Yet Hermia still loves you.

Helena: Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? When at your hands did I deserve this scorn? Is ’t not enough, is ’t not enough, young man, That I did never, no, nor never can, Deserve a sweet look from Demetrius' eye, But you must flout my insufficiency? Good troth, you do me wrong, good sooth, you do, !In such disdainful manner me to woo. ! !Me BEAUTY AND THE BEAST GASTON: You've been dreaming, just one dream Nearly all your life Hoping, scheming, just one theme: Will you be a wife?

This equation, girl plus man Doesn't help just you On occasion, women can Have their uses too Mainly to extend the fam'ly tree !Pumpkin, extend with me! ! But fare you well.

Lysander: She sees not Hermia.—Hermia, sleep thou there. ! ! !Moments in the Woods INTO THE WOODS 2005 BAKER’S WIFE: Wake up! Stop dreaming. Stop prancing about the woods. It's not beseeming. What is it about the woods? Back to life, back to sense, Back to child, back to husband, You can't live in the woods. There are vows, there are ties, There are needs, there are standards, There are shouldn'ts and shoulds. Why not both instead?

Hermia: Methought a serpent eat my heart away, And you sat smiling at his cruel pray. Lysander!—What, removed?—Lysander, lord!— Who knows how high those mountains climb What, out of hearing, gone? Who knows how deep those rivers go No sound, no word?— ….Who knows how wrong a dream can go Alack, where are you? Speak, an if you hear. Ti Moune !Speak, of all loves!

For the people all said sit down, sit down, you're rockin' the boat People all said sit down Sit down you're rockin' the boat. And the devil will drag you under By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat, Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down, Sit down you're rockin' the boat. I sailed away on that little boat to heaven And by some chance found a bottle in my fist And there I stood, Nicely passin' out the whisky But the passengers were bound to resisist For the people all said beware You're on a heavenly trip People all said beware Beware, you'll scuttle the ship. And the devil will drag you under By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down !Sit down, you're rockin' the boat ! Hermia: Dark night, that from the eye his function takes, The ear more quick of apprehension makes. Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense, It pays the hearing double recompense. Thou art not by mine eye, Lysander, found. !Mine ear, I thank it, brought me to thy sound ! !Hermia: But why unkindly didst thou leave me so? !Lysander: Why should he stay, whom love doth press to go? !Hermia: What love could press Lysander from my side? Lysander: Lysander’s love, that would not let him bide, Fair Helena, who more engilds the night Than all yon fiery oes and eyes of light. Why seek’st thou me? Could not this make thee know !The hate I bear thee made me leave thee so? !Hermia: You speak not as you think…. ! ! !Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!
