Below is the pilot episode of "Space Carrie's Adventures In Space"
This debuted on April 17, 2018.
I'm looking for collaborators!
This episode is to serve as the beginning and as an example of what I envision the "Old Time Radio" segment of my show producing. We will be needing more voice actors, some re-curring, some for single episodes. I'd also like to invite YOU to write a short script for us. They would need be able to be performed in UNDER 10 minutes, or broken up into 5 or 10-minute segments. Go have a listen to some Old Time Radio shows HERE, or just listen to the one below. It won't disappoint. š
The script below is NOT in script form.
It was, but when copy/pasted into Steemit, left aligns everything. (Obviously... š )
I didn't wanna go through and put it all in markdown. However, it is MUCH easier to read it in script form. If anyone needs some tips on how to write this way, let me know. I can also share the original script from Google Docs if that's wanted.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!

SOUND EFFECT - OUTERSPACE 44 seconds
NARRATOR
In a deep and remote corner of the galaxy, further than any
Earthen Space Man has ever aspired to fly in a rocket-ship,
lies the Space Dessert of Galog-Kerplathicus. Often
described as āThe Butthole of the Universe,ā its planets are
among the most desolate and unforgiving lands
imaginable. They have sandstorms, ice storms, acid storms
and lava storms, but extremely cheap real estate.
Flegula 7 is the largest planet of the five habitable Kerplathican planets.
In the dingiest slum of its most massive metropolis, known as
Space Dump,
SOUND EFFECT - Fade out OUTER SPACE
SOUND EFFECT - Fade in SPACE BAR BACKGROUND
there is a tavern, where in the corner sits alone a beautiful
and mysterious young traveler. Sheās
been sitting quietly for a strangely long time,
SOUND EFFECT - SLIME WALK
The disgruntled Flegulan bartender squishes out from behind
the bar and makes his way to her corner booth, leaving a
slight trail of corrosive slime as he squishes.
BARTENDER
Can I get you another space beer or what?
(pause)
Hey lady, Iām talking to you!
SOUND EFFECT - STOP SPACE BAR BACKGROUND
SOUND EFFECT - Duh Duh DUHHHH!
NARRATOR
Will the beautiful and mysterious young traveler order another Space Beer? Find out after this message.

NARRATOR
Meanwhile back on Flegula 7...
SPACE CARRIE
Iāve had enough.
BARTENDER
I tell you when youāve had enough, and you aināt had enough.
You only had one drink, and that was three space hours ago.
Itās our strict policy not to under serve.
SPACE CARRIE
Iām waiting for someone.
BARTENDER
Look lady, this aināt the Intergalactic Space Port. Talk about
waiting. I once had to wait 23 space days there to pick up my
wife when she was coming back from her Mary Kay convention.
Unbelievable. Apparently their ship slipped into a rogue
wormhole and it kindaā¦ stretched out time or something. I
donāt know crap about that crap. Hell of an inconvenience.
Lost my job, thatās how I ended up working in this crap hole.
SPACE CARRIE
You have Mary Kay Cosmetics here?
BARTENDER
Oh yeah. For the first few space years they were going by
Space Mary Kay, but after awhile they figured everybody
got it, and they dropped the āspace.ā But that led to some
mass confusion on a couple of the other planets, badda-bing,
badda-boom, you got the Mary Kay wars. They went on for
five space years. Destructive and bloody as hell, but it
made my wifeās sales go through the roof.
So you want another drink or what?
SPACE CARRIE
Do you have orange juice?
BARTENDER
No way! And you couldnāt afford it if we did. Space
Beer, cominā up!
SOUND EFFECT - SLIME WALK (short)
NARRATOR
As the bartender begins to squish away, and extraordinarily
sinister-looking man appears in the doorway, sucking the
metaphorical air from the room.
SOUND EFFECT--RECORD SCRATCH, BACKGROUND sounds STOP
SOUND EFFECT - Fade in ACCORDION, SLOW WALK a few steps,
He wears a long coat,
A long beard and an eye patch, quietly surveying the
room as all eyes are transfixed on him. After a time, he speaks.
SPACEBEARD
Take Five, Kevin.
SOUND EFFECT - ACCORDION stops
Kevinās me minstral. Follows me around, poor fellow.
Playing me merry pirate tunes. Heās the only one Iāve got left.
Clears Throat
One of you is here for me! But Iāve found you first, for
Spacebeard runs from no man. Show yourself, bounty-hunter!
NARRATOR
SOUND EFFECT - EVIL ORGAN (plays under)
Itās true, the sinister-looking man is none other than
Spacebeard, the most infamous and brutal space pirate
in all of Galog-Kerplathicus. An unstoppable criminal with
a huge bounty on his head, but notorious for making
bounty hunters disappear. The Young Traveler in the
corner stands up to face the pirate.
SPACE CARRIE
Then you can still run, because I am no man.
NARRATOR
Itās true. She is no man. This mysterious young
Traveler is none other than Space Carrie,
SOUND EFFECT - SPACE CARRIE jingle
an extraordinary hero whoā¦ not very many people had heard of yetā¦
SOUND EFFECT - SPACE CARRIE jingle
but soon the tales of her magnificent space deeds would echo
through living rooms across the galaxy.
Space Carrie,
SOUND EFFECT - SPACE CARRIE jingle
of all the bounty hunters, is up for the challenge of taking
down Spacebeard. She throws back her hood and brandishes
her laser sword. Not a light saber, but a laser sword.
SOUND EFFECT - LIGHT SABER
SPACEBEARD
A Woman! A woman tracks me down, thinks to bring me
In, perhaps to kill me? Weāll see what happens when we
Cross laser swords!
SOUND EFFECT - LIGHT SABER
SPACE CARRIE
The terrible atrocities youāve committed have condemned
You here today, and you are a fool to underestimate me.
I am Space Carrie!
SOUND EFFECT - SPACE CARRIE jingle
SPACEBEARD
What makes you think you can just put Space at the
beginning of your name? You have to earn that. I mean,
think about what it means. You basically have to be the
quintessential space version of your name, and what have
you done to earn that? I slaughtered millions, even destroyed
a whole planet once, and do you know how hard I have to
work to maintain this magnificent beard? You wouldnāt
understand. Letās fight to the death.
SOUND EFFECT - DUH DUH DUHHH!
NARRATOR
And fight to the death they shall! But first, this message from our favorite Brand: SteemStar.
ANNOUNCER
Are you tired of all that pesky radioactive waste sitting around your home? Call the fine experts at SteemStar RadioActive Waste Removal Services, and theyāll take care of it for you. But mutations are irreversible so act fast!
SOUND EFFECT - SteemStar for your family - jingle
SOUND EFFECT - LIGHT SABER
SPACE CARRIE
First, let these people go.
SPACEBEARD
These people are my hostages now. Nobody move!
I donāt care if I accidentally kill these people, āSpace
Carrieā. Do you?
SOUND EFFECT - SPACE CARRIE jingle
SOUND EFFECT - LIGHT SABER BATTLE
NARRATOR
Spacebeard draws his laser sword and charges at Space
Carrie with surprising speed. The two exchange laser-sword
blows, Space Carrie determined to protect the innocents and
Spacebeard determined to destroy as much as possible.
SPACEBEARD
You never should have come to Flegula 7, little girl. This is
my domain.
SPACE CARRIE
I rarely do things that I should.
NARRATOR
The fight rages on, and after several minutes of intense
and dramatic laser sword dueling-
SOUND EFFECT - STOP - LIGHT SABER BATTLE
Space Carrieās foot is on the chest of Spacebeard, who is lying stunned,
unconscious on the floor. Miraculously, no one in the
tavern is harmed. Our hero, Space Carrie, has defeated
the infamous space pirate Spacebeard and saved dozens
of innocent lives.
SOUND EFFECT - HOORAY!
SPACE CARRIE
Turn him into the local law. Iām sure heād want to be
imprisoned in his own ādomainā.
SOUND EFFECT - HIP HIP HOORAY - 3 times
NARRATOR
SOUND EFFECT - OUTER SPACE
With justice served and the people safe, Space Carrie
walks out of that little tavern in the slums of Space Dump,
on the planet Flegula 7. Where the other six Flegulas are,
she doesnāt know, but it probably doesnāt matter. She needs
to somehow reach The Office of Interplanetary Justice to
claim her bounty, but she has no ship. How will Space
Carrie ever get out of Flegula, let alone Galog-Kerplathicus?
What trials and Challenges await our hero? Find out next
week on Space Carrieās Adventures in Space!
