Yeah, for sure, man.

Yeah.

Hell yeah.

This is Off Book.

We're going to make up a musical.

By a round of applause, who has never been to a show of ours before and maybe was brought here by a brave friend or a poster?

Whoa! That is more of you than I expected.

Okay, that's fine.

Just buckle up.

It's going to get weird.

But yeah, everything that we sing and say is totally made up.

Everything the band plays is totally made up.

Really good stuff, dude.

Killer.

Well, he's still going.

I know.

Wow.

He won't stop.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um, yeah, that's basically it.

That's it.

Thank you

for being here.

Yeah.

And so to get started, um, we're going to get a couple of words and inspire a conversation, which will inspire the musical.
