RATH PART FIVE - MAKING MONK A STAR!
(For those of you just joining the thread, or may have missed the earlier installments, PART 1 of Rath's story is on page 41, PART 2 is on page 43, PART 3 is on page 51, PART 4 is on page 59.)
During her nearly 5 years at The Convent of the Lebanese Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, Rath learned many things about herself, but her most important lesson came toward the unscheduled end of her tenure there. After the coup that ushered Sister Mary Poppins in and Mother Mary Monk out, Rath realized that if she wanted to stay in a cut-throat environment like that, she’d rather not be doing it on one knee, (remember the baking accident?) and that she’d be happier back in show business. So, taking the former Mother Monk with her, Rath returned to the secular world determined to make Monk a star on the Broadway stage.
Rath’s return to the Broadway scene was much heralded – people had forgotten about the disastrous repertory company, and only remembered her past Tony winning successes. She quickly re-established contact with her old cohort, Prestigious Producer. Together they discovered an up and coming composer/lyricist and playwright team, Tiz Bee and Dieter O’Toole, and by year’s end their new musical DRAPES SHALT NOT DANCE was the hit of the year, and the star of that show, Brassy Broadway Blonde (you got it, the former Mother Mary Monk) was the toast of the town. All involved won Tony awards, and Rath was again making more money than God.
But complications soon arose. Mother Mary Poppins, who had staged the coup at the convent, suddenly re-appeared and in show business too. Along with Sister Mary Richards and Sister Mary Martin, Poppins had formed a sort of quasi religious Andrews Sisters singing group, and they were soon starring in their own musical, THE SWINGING NUNS. They drew so much attention that the box office numbers for Rath’s show began falling off. And to make matters far worse, at least as far as Rath was concerned, the male lead in DRAPES…, Freud’s Little Sibling, developed quite an attachment to the former Mother Monk and the two of them were soon inseparable. Imagine Rath’s horror when she received a wedding invitation! And discovered that the happy couple were registered at Williams-Sonoma, the scene of that tragic baking accident all those years ago! Rath was not, to put it mildly, happy.
TUNE IN TOMORROW FOR THE EXCITING SEASON FINALE: THE WRATH OF RATH!
Hey, Taz. Not much. Just back at work and swamped. Nothing like being greeted by a pile of paperwork that was growing the entire time you're gone.
Paperwork can do that. It's like a fungus.
There's a fungus among us?
Welcome back Singer..hope you have all your jock straps and didn't leave any behind.
....at least not on purpose.
Jock straps? Did I hear someone mention jock straps?
Both!
Yes. What's your point?
ETA: Well, Tink isn't. Homo, that is. Usually.
Strapping Jocks in Jock Staps, Taz...
