Act 1: The Ship to Maryland (MD)Scene 1: the Opening(Dr. Sangari disclosure?)Narrator (As Dr. Mtui): Shhh...shhh...shh. Yes. Yeeees. It is time. Shh. Hello, people. Welcome. (points to a random person in the crowd and says their name) ____ You good? Yes. (Narrator walks to the center of the stage)Narrator: Hello and welcome to the Weill Cornell Class of 2018s class show. Yes, its good. Today we will be learning about the voyage of a group of Weill Cornell Students as they make their journey from the Physician Ship all the way to the MD. It will be a long journey and parts of it will be miserable. But parts will alsohappy.

Narrator: We join our characters as they prepare to traverse the Organ Traila path from Premedtropolis to Maryland. To get from Premedtropolois they must board the newly constructed Physicianship. It has been rumored to be the best and fastest ship (Project an image of the Titanic in the background) in the world. Unsinkable. Unbeatable. Unbelievable. People ask me: will they make it? Will it be easy? Of course not. But not to worry. We will see them through, everyone is going to be ok. I promise.

Scene 2: Boarding the Ship(A crowd of people has gathered as a man in a white coat stands on a box talking to the crowd)Dr. Bardes: Ladies and gentlemen, come one, come all to see the new and improved Physicianship. Gone are the days when you, the passengers, paid thousands and thousands of dollars to sit below decks and row for twenty hours a day seven days a week. Not anymore. With our new flipped oarsmen program, our trained oarsmen will now split the grueling labor with you 5:95. That gives you an extra three hours of free time in which you can research ways to improve our ship for future generations. In addition we will now offer several hours of mandatory rowing training videos, that you can watch in the privacy of your own sleeping crate, that will help you get the most out of your daily rowing experience. No more pulled muscles and strained backs.

(Gunner, Nice Girl and Questioner, walk on stage. Gunner is first on the scene. A bio will either be read in Statham voice or in a PPT slide.

Gunner: (there will be a separate sheet for the Stratham style introductions).

Gunner (to the Nice Girl): This ship looks great, if we take this ship everyone will know that were really talentedand smartand attractiveand that we will be really great doctors. We should go get in line right now. Plus if II meanwe get there first well have the opportunity to talk with Captain Marzuk (flash to Marzuk on screen w/ peg-leg, patch and parrot), maybe get first crack at rowing duty. Itll be a good way for us to get our name out there, maybe move up to theDr. Bardes: (interrupts) And just to make sure we stay on schedule, there will be weekly whippings. According to statistical analysis, the frequency of whippings is directly correlated (w/ a p-value
