Ode to “The Red Velvet Cake War”

 

There once was a group in Green Valley
Called the Performing Arts Guild;
Oh, the way they could act, they could laugh,
they could whine;

And fabulous sets Ray and crew could build.

​

Along came a play called the Red Velvet Cake War
With enlarged transcription by Karen Doyle;
‘Twas long and hard work, but she got it done
So the actors would not have lines spoiled.

​

Davey Jones came on as director
With assistant director Frank Gunn;
And they molded the actors Into Texans
For a play that was oh, so much fun.
Produced by Diana Paul, And then without a glitch
She became matriarch Aunt LaMerle
She could scream, and whine and bitch.

​

We have Ray, Andy, Tal and Jerry
Most with two eyes, but not all;
Diana, Sandy, Dodie, Audrey
Sandy, Pam and Nancy
Forever sayin’ “y’all”.

​

Behind the scenes so many helped
Sharon with costumes, Sydney with props;
Judi White and fab crew with make-up
Jeff made the camera pop.

​

Mary and Marge and Nancy
Moving stage props right on cue;
Ken Campbell orchestrating the lights
There was so much to do.

​

Holly, Judi and Sharon
Muriel, Diana and Mary;
Ushered people to their seats
With Janice’s programs at the ready.

​

And thanks to Jeff’s publicity,
And Sandy’s great ticket sales,
The crowds went wild each night
Quail Creek PAG never fails.

​

In the hands of the Quail Creek Team
With hearts and souls thrown in
What an incredible success
The show was a big, big Win!
