hotpantsgalore is directing a play & needs a large saguaro cactus as a prop. Actually, the cactus is a main character in the play (appropriately titled Saguaro). This play will be part of the Estrogenius 2007 festival at the Manhattan Theatre Source.
In my role as Supportive Significant Other, I posted on a couple of local communities (![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
newyorkers here, and the astorians.com message board here), asking if anyone had a cactus we could borrow.
The responses have been hilarious. The astorians.com board has devolved into a horrible pun war, while thenewyorkers comments feature everything from helpful tips on making a fake cactus to a sanctimonious lecture on proper treatment of endangered saguaros to a fake "news" article about a saguaro in Tuscon that tripped while rushing to catch a plane to NYC for a casting call. newyorkers has also provided us with our best lead so far: coffeetwit offered to give us a cactus that's currently part of her employer's corporate decor. Last Monday, hotpantsgalore & I trekked over to hold an "audition".
He's perfect: tall, spiny, handsome - everything a director could hope for in a leading cactus:
As my new co-worker C* said, "You've somehow added value to the lives of... dozens through your search for the perfect cactus!"
WEIRD.
