S.H.I.T.


I heard that the play Rent recently ended its Broadway run. I never saw it on Broadway, but did see the movie and it wasn't too bad. That led me to think about what the next big play should be about. It should be original and appeal to mass audiences.


So while tossing and turning last night I finally figured it out. My play would be called S.H.I.T (Super Heroes In Trouble) and it would focus on a hospital that is only for super heroes.


The doctors would be real humans with no special powers who have to treat the onslaught of bizarre super cases. Picture Batman with severe rabies. Robin had a misfortunate guinea pig accident. Someone slipped some Kryptonite in Superman's Cafe Latte. Wonderwoman has a yeast infection. You get the point.


There will be songs and dancing that will be fun, but not have me question my manhood. I picture this as being a cooler stage version of ER. At the end of the show you (the audience) will realize that it is the doctors who are the true superheroes. It will be touching (like a Danny Tanner moment.)


Until next time America...- Maury Povich
