It's the end of the week! We've made it!
To celebrate let us join together on šSTEEMSTAR AFTER DARKš and play. That's right play. Like, with actual scripts!
It's a new thing we're trying out.
Kinda like Saturday Night Live, but with radio. This shall be week 4. Yup, we are still in infancy here. We are getting to know each other, finding new people to contribute their time and talent, and overall, just having a grand ol' time. I bet you wanna join us... I mean, who wouldn't? š
I'll link all the pertinent info below. But first!
Here's a script I wrote last night for tonight's show. My hubs @chrisroberts who is my head writer was super busy at work this week and was only able to get a few things done. Instead of wallowing in my own pity (okay, I did that a little too), I decided to buck up and write some scripts myself.
This one is about dogs. I assume that giving a character a 'dog' persona allows the reader/actor (even when cold reading) a pretty good idea of how to act. I hope. LOL! š I suppose we'll find out tonight!
Scripts are always shared in correct script format via google docs during the show for easier reading.
Are you an amazing reader? Is your voice the most interesting or beautiful sound to fall on the ears of the masses? Are you hilarious? Come join us! We are still looking for actors and players each week!

I dunno. I dunno. I dunno. Maybe he got stuck in traffic. Well, āheā didnāt, but maybe his transport vehicle did. Maybe. I dunno. I dunno. I dunno.
BRUNO
This is no good. We need to start now. Itās 4 oāclock.
TINKER
(confused)
Whatās 4 oāclock?
BRUNO
Now. Here. This. Itās 4 oāclock.
TINKER
Isnāt this the dog park? Thatās what my lady says. āTime to go to the dog park! Tinker! Letās go!ā
BRUNO
Yes. Yes. This is most certainly that. It IS the dog park, but it is also 4 oāclock.
TINKER
Oh. Ok. Waitā¦ Whatās 4 oāclock?
(BARKS EXCITEDLY)
Squirrel!
SF: SMALL DOG RUNNING AWAY
BRUNO
No! Wait! Tinker come back! Itās already--

Hey, Bruno! I see Tinkās run off after a squirrel. Check out my new ball!
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
BRUNO
Thatās pretty nice, Boots. Yeah. Sheāll be back ā¦ probably. Did you find anything out about that new dog? After I had to leave yesterday?
BOOTS
Yeah. Yeah, man. Her name is Delilah. Sheās a Chow Chow.
BRUNO
(in love)
Delilah ā¦ I knew it! I could tell she was a Chow Chow. Did she notice me?
BOOTS
Not really. I mean, she was just coming in when you were leaving.
BRUNO
What was she like? Is she coming back today?
BOOTS
She was totally cool, man.
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
Sheās new to the neighborhood, obviously. Dunno if sheās coming today or not, but she said her dude is like clockwork with walks. Just with the move itās been weird. Normally they go earlier, so maybe youāll see her today.
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
BRUNO
Cool.Cool.
TINKER
(running, out of breathe)
Hey! Hi! Hey! Bruno! Boots! Look! Look! Sheās here! Delilahās back! Sheās back! Sheās back! Look!
BRUNO
What? Where?!
BOOTS
(chilling with his squeaky toy)
There.
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
Same place as yesterday. Man! Humans are creatures of habit.
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
BRUNO
I see her! Should we go over there? Should we stay here and wait for her to come to us? Howās my hair? Do my arms look beefy?
BOOTS
Chill out, dude.
TINKER
Yeah. Chill out, dude. Chill chill chill chill--
BOOTS
Just stay put. Give her a chance to do her business and find us. Iām sure she will. Sheās new, and me and Tink showed her the lay of the land yesterday.
TINKER
Yup. Yup. We did! Lay of the land! It was fun! Can I see your ball, Boots?
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
BOOTS
Sure. Treat it well. Itās new.
SFX: SQUEAKY TOY -A LOT OF SQUEAKS
Bruno? What are you doing?
BRUNO
Trying to look relaxed, like I dunno, like I donāt care.
BOOTS
Itās not really working for you. It looks like you are having some sort of allergic reaction, bro. Never go full allergic reaction.
BRUNO
Oh man! What if she saw me?! Sheās totally gonna think Iām a weirdo now-
BOOTS
Umā¦ Bruno?-
BRUNO
(talking to himself)
Iām a Bulldog. Iām better than this. What is wrong with me? Iām strong--
BOOTS
Bruno-
BRUNO
Iām capable--
BOOTS
BRUNO-
BRUNO
And darn it! People like me!--
BOOTS / TINKER

SFX: SQUEAKY TOY
BRUNO
What?!
TINKER
Sheās coming! Delilahās coming over! Hey! Hi! Delilah! Hi!
BRUNO
(terrified)
OMG. What do I say? Sheās so beautiful.
BOOTS
Again, bro. Chill out. Sheās just a dog. Weāre all dogs.
BRUNO
Right. Youāre right. Sheās just a dog. Weāre all just dogs at the end of the day.
TINKER
But Delilah is perfect. Sheās so big and fluffy and such a lovely shade of orangish red. Delilah! Hi!
BRUNO
Ohā¦ Tinkās right. Sheās so much better than us-
BOOTS
Shut up, man. Here she is. Hey, Delilah. Howās the move going?
DELILAH
(very aloof)
Boots, is it? Hey. Yeah. Itās good. Totally good. My dudeās much more calm today. Weāre almost back on normal schedule. Hey,Tink.
TINKER
Hi! Hey! You remembered me?! Wow! Wanna go play ball?
DELILAH
Of course I did. How could anyone forget you, Tink? Not right now, maybe in a minute.
This must be Bruno.
(pause)
BOOTS
(coming to Brunoās rescue)
Um- yeah. Yes. This is Bruno. Delilah- Bruno. Bruno - Delilah.
DELILAH
Mind if I? --
(pause)
BOOTS
(coming to Brunoās rescueā¦ again)
Oh, yeah! Go ahead! Sniff away. Bruno can be a little shy upon first meeting new dogs.
DELILAH
(she sniffs a few times)
Hmph. Later.
BOOTS
Bye, Delilah! See ya around!
(to Bruno)
Dude. Dude. What was that?
BRUNO
I ā¦ I donāt know. I just froze.
BOOTS
Yeah. Itās like your allergic reaction went into overdrive.
BRUNO
I know, man. Itās so embarrassing. Look at her over there! Just knowing that her beautiful coat is glistening in the sun. Knowing she can do no wrong.
BOOTS
Come on. Snap out of it. Iāve never seen you like this. Letās go play some ball before we have to go. Here comes Tink. Itāll help get your mind off of things.
TINKER
Hey! Hi guys! Wanna play ball? I just asked Delilah, she doesnāt want to right now. You guys? You guys wanna? Come on? Wanna? Wanna? Wanna?
BOOTS
Yes! Yes, Tink. Letās play. Sling it to Bruno first.
