Extras

Characters

• Chuck Schmendiman, noted philanthropist and IF author, is across the stage from you in the prologue dream sequence and also in the epilogue.
• A man dressed as a martian is in the western dressing room. He calls himself Syaloch.
• A woman dressed as a sponge is in the middle dressing room.
• Other dignitaries stand behind you on Stage, also in the dream, and again in the epilogue. You can also hear them talking on the other side of the curtain from Backstage.

Mentioned:

• An audience of hundreds watch the Stage, but you can only see their eyes.
• The monkeys who wrote the script are from the Million Monkey Script Company.

Inventory

• a metal bucket; later, a bucket of water. Found by searching the props at Backstage the first time. Fill it with water in the eastern dressing room. Pour the water on the sponge woman in the middle dressing room; this lets you reach the pen.
• a script for Hamlet. Found by searching the props at Backstage the second time. You can ignore it.
• a hacksaw. Found by searching the props at Backstage the third time. Cut the plywood sheet with it to get a piece of plywood.
• a can of spray paint. It's on the table in the western dressing room. Spray the piece of plywood with paint.
• a piece of plywood; later, an award plaque. When Backstage, create it by cutting the plywood sheet with the hacksaw. Spray the piece with the paint. Write on the piece with the pen in the middle dressing room. Take it to the Stage.

Score

In that game you scored this-much out of a possible 3, in some turns.

• 1 point for cutting the plywood.
• 1 point for painting the piece.
• 1 point for writing on the piece.

This walkthrough is provided free of charge since I wrote this walkthrough prior to January 2015 when I began my Patreon account, and also because the work it's based on has less than fifteen locations (so I wouldn't have charged for it anyway). I've since reformatted this walkthrough to use my currently preferred style. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm still creating new walkthroughs! Larger ones too! Please visit my Patreon account if you're interested in helping me create more interactive fiction walkthroughs. I appreciate all the help I can get! Thanks again.
