Three girls in a fountain?

Spark of Life's Total Request Live #1
Caliofornia Will asks, "So, about this person you drowned in a fountain? Is there a back story or is that pretty self explanatory?"

I did drown a girl in a fountain, but unfortunately, due to the conventions of the stage, she didn't stay that way.

For those not familiar with the ending of Six Characters in Search of an Author, let me explain. The "characters" go about trying to tell their story to The Director, and in doing so end up acting it out, thereby reinforcing their fate to repeat the same story over and over until they find someone to give them life. So, The Step-Daughter (my character) is poised on this fountian with The Little Girl, who she knows is about to die once again. In order to show The Director this plot part of the story, I lower her into the fountain, and she drowns. And then The Little Boy shoots himself. The end.

The real meat of this story comes from who played The Little Girl, and how much I really wanted to drown her. I'm talking about one 9-year-old Alex Something-Or-Other, who the University found to play this part.

Now, I'm sure most of you know my stance on children. I don't like them. I do, however, like setting them on fire (or drowning them, as the case may be). However, I was pleasantly surprised at the start of production when I met the intelligent, calm, articulate, and QUIET little Alex. She was professional, and took direction well, so I thought, "maybe this one isn't so bad." Oh, how wrong I was. It seems that the Monster was hidden within her sweet exterior, and soon we all felt her wrath. I'll not go into detail about her escapdes, but I will say that I'll never be able to be naked in a dressing room again, without feeling distinctly paranoid.

On the first night of dress I dropped her into the fountain on accident. There was a big crash. And all of us smiled inside. And I think baby Jesus did, too.

Keep the requests coming. This is fun.
