MIchelle Bravo's Seduction: Chapter 8
Anne gazed at herself in the full-length mirror. She wore black slacks, a black turtleneck sweater, and a black leather jacket.
"Very Emma Peel-ish," Anne said in satisfaction. She ran her fingers through her short cut hair, nodded, and turned away from the mirror.
She had called the Sweetwater Theatre a few days ago and offered to volunteer. The volunteer coordinator she'd talked to said that they always needed someone to run the lightboard, and that it was very easy.
Anne had agreed to be at the theatre in a few days - today as a matter of fact - when someone would give her training in how to run the board.
And now it was the day.
Time to go.
Anne took a deep breath, and walked out into the evening air.

MIchelle Bravo's Seduction: Chapter 7
After finishing the cast list, Anne decided that she needed to take a break.
She went outside, unlocked her bike from the railing where she kept it, and started out along the wide, empty streets. That was the nice thing about the town in which she lived...the streets were practically empty, practically all the time.
Now that she'd got this idea for her play, she'd have to run with it. Keep working on it while the enthusiasm was flowing within her.
Aided, of course, by frequent visits to the Sweetwater Little Theatre to see more productions - they put on one a month - and get more of a feel for the actors and their skills.
Anne smiled slightly. She'd have to talk to those actors. Eventually. But it would be better if she had her play well under way before she did so.
Or maybe not.
Maybe she should just bite the bullet. As a community theatre, the theatre depended a great deal on volunteers to come in and help out. She saw their ads all the time - for ushers, people to run the light board..whatever the heck that was...
"Hmmmm," thought Anne as she rode along. That might not be a bad idea. She didn't want to usher, but it would certainly help her to learn how things like light boards and sound boards were run. Maybe she had better volunteer, and the sooner the better.

MIchelle Bravo's Seduction: Chapter 6
Anne looked at her cast list with satisfaction.
Usher/Akhnaten -
Carl Lathom
Nadine Boynton/Nefertiti
- Geneva Madison
Hercule Poirot/Horemheb
- Philip Droste
Lennox Boynton/Meriptah
- Reggie McIntosh
Jefferson Cope/Nezzemut
- Brian Dexter
Mrs. Boynton/Tiy -
Alexandra “Sandy” McAlpine
Other members of the Sweetwater
Little Theatre Crew
Adrian Frost – Stagehand/Fencing Master (?)
Philip Droste – Director
Alice Blue – Understudy, Nefertiti
As she gave more attention to it, she wondered if it would
be too confusing. But…that’s what was going to make it a hilarious farce, and
show the acting skills of all the actors.
The actors were putting on Agatha Christie’s mystery play featuring
Hercule Poirot, Appointment With Death, and at the same time putting on
Akhnaten, Christie’s play regarding the life of the first monotheist, Akhnaten (the
father of Tutankamun).
Each actor would also be playing himself, except in a fictional
way, as they plotted and schemed to increase their stage time and role
importance.
Philip Droste had been the Sweetwater Little Theatre actor
who played Detective Sergeant Trotter, and Brian Dexter had played Christopher
Wren.
