Act 1, Scene 1:
Scenic Designer and Music Director are talking while the other characters mingle the party in the background.
Music Director: So will you seeing the cabaret more than once this week?
Scenic Designer: Oh, I'm sure. I love watching you play piano. A man and an instrument is always a turn on for me, of course if I see it too many times I may demand that you start making out with me after watching the show.
MD: Oh, really? Well...
Act 1, Scene 2:
Company Actor has just finished performing a tour-de-force dance rendition of a Madonna song in the middle of the party and wants to continue dancing.
Company Actor: You never dance.
SD: I've told you before I only dance if there's a cute boy to dance with.
CA: Well, let's go.
SD glances around to make sure MD isn't watching then begins to dance.
Act 1, Scene 3:
A quiet moment in the party, SD is talking with a group of actors that includes Equity Actor.
SD: Yeah, load-in for this show shouldn't be a big deal, it is pretty light scenically.
Random Actor: Good, that last load-in was a bear.
Equity Actor: I'm glad I don't have to deal with all this, you guys put in a lot of work on these shows. (While speaking he puts his arm around SD and his hand slips down to SD's butt, giving it a quick squeeze.)
SD: (Shocked by what is happening) Uhm.... yeah... but it's worth it.
