Flash Back: The Annual Play Letter (A Parody)

Posted by Fritz Tentativa on August 12, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Had you gone to a Catholic School when you were in Grade School, you’d know what an Annual Play event is. It’s an income-generating-slash-fund-raising project them nuns come up with for us to participate in. Poor children. Pitiful parents. The letter below more than sums up my sentiments on the matter. To complete your reading experience, since the letter is after all from the 80s, please pardon the courier font.

September 25, 1987

Our Dear Parents:

We are pleased to inform you that your children, Fritz Karl and Zhan Kirby, were handpicked from a student body of 1,500 to participate in the most anticipated Annual Play fund raising event of the school. As Sisters of Charity, we task ourselves with the humble duty to alleviate the hardships suffered by our underprivileged brethren by helping but a handful of them in the most that we can. That, and we are renovating a wing of the Nursery and Kindergarten section of the school to serve as the new Cloister complete with a new Chapel for the Sisters and the students, but primarily for the Sisters. [...]

[...] This year, it has been decided by the [sic] ungenious Sisters that we hold the Annual Play earlier. A Christmas program. We will be doing Kids’ Praise. Don’t dare ask, “again?!” because we have purchased a brand new cassette tape, the Kids’ Praise! Christmas: Psalty’s Christmas Calamity showcasing the most awesome Christmas songs medley in the known Christmas songs playlist of the 80s! The show will still revolve around our favorite characters Psalty, Psaltina, and those lovely, lovely Booklets: Melody, Harmony, and Rhythm.
