THE FLOATONES, 1995

La MaMa, NYC

Postcard

Four rather strange characters meet at their encounter group and decide the best way to get better is through show business. They form a vocal quartet on the cutting edge of a new fusion between entertainment and self-help. Their night club act shares their group insights in speech and song, interweaving their individual stories, creating a post-Chorus Line.

Mary/Bill/Jim/Keith
we’ve talked among each other

to find a way to convey

if there’s anything you need to hear

it won’t be anything we say

Mary
you’ve already got plenty to know

Bill
and more than enough to face

Jim
if you’re looking for knowing more

Keith
look for another place

Mary/Bill/Jim/Keith
we’re past reason

we’re post plot

we’re connection-free

we’re content-not

Jim
we’re getting over our meaning dependency

and sharing it with you

From the production: Bill Rice, Keith Macdermott, Jim Neu and Mary Shultz
