SARA
FARLEY
The Woman
Sara
refuses to talk about herself, so we had to go to a psychic to find
out about her. While we wait for Madame Zelda to finish her work
on Sara's chart, we'll tell you what we do know.
Nothing.
Honest. She just showed up the day of auditions. Some of us remember
a flash of light, and we all sort of lost consciousness, and then
she appeared. We may have only been out for a minute, but it felt
like an hour. When we came to she was just standing there, right
on the stage, fully lit by an unknown light source, with the entire
script already memorized and ready to perform.
We
were all a little afraid of her, frankly. But she was immediately
cast in the show. The director frets constantly, fearful that one
of us might forget ourselves and mistakenly slight Sara, and suffer
the Wrath of Ganyon. When pressed for an explanation as to how she
came upon this information, Miss Irwin will only mumble Milton,
"Behemoth, biggest born of earth, upheaved His vastness.", take
a deep drag off her cigarette, and say nothing more on the subject.
One
stagehand reported that he was accosted a few nights ago, in the
dark alley behind the theatre, by a robed figure who resembled Leonard
Nimoy. The mysterious advisor whispered warnings about banking fraud
and crop circles.
Shortly
thereafter, the Spare Parts treasurer noted that the theatre's coffers
were drained dry, and that a substantial donation had been made
to the Ganyon's Thesbian Defense Fund located at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Sara's name. He has no explanation for how this happened
and insists, instead, on blaming it on the permanent memory loss
that we've all suffered since Sara's "arrival".
And
more recently, two Spare Parts members, who work as landscapers
on weekends, were abruptly fired from their jobs for commandeering
two Toro riding lawnmowers and carving so-called "crop circles"
into several customers' back yards. Rumor has it that, as they were
lead away by police, they repeatedly shouted "All Hail Sara"
and demanded to be taken to a Portal so that they could contact
their attorneys.
Visitors
to their cells have reported that the two have spent their jail
time carving pointy-earred figures into their cell walls and exclaiming
that the part we were REALLY casting for, the day Sara appeared,
was actually the female lead in David Mamet's "Speed the Plow".
During
rehearsals some of the cast members have taken to wearing aluminum
hats on their heads, to prevent Sara from reading their minds. They
say that she can summon intergalactic warrior actors to replace
them at the snap of her fingers, should they displease her by thinking
impure thoughts.
If
you run into her before, during or after the show, please speak
softly, make no sudden movements and cast your eyes downward, otherwise
you risk instant teleportation through a vortex that puts you in
the middle of a high school production of "Waiting for Godot",
somewhere in the Eta Carina Nebula, where they really do "Eat
Your Heart Out".
