Sex and the City Skit Script

This is a horrible idea. Please talk to your advisers and district directors for a more contemporary skit.

I agree. Even if the women know about the series and perhaps have seen the movies, when the show was on and popular, they would have been looking at it through very different eyes. The show was on between 1998 and 2004. I really think that the typical 17-19 year old PNM is not going to "get" the cultural references. I sometimes have conversations with my 18-year old niece and sometimes forget that something I'm talking about was way before her time.

You sound really attached to the idea. What do others in the chapter think? I don't know how you choose themes, but I think that getting a lot of feedback from the chapter would help a lot. Honestly, you don't want to be that *one chapter* that did some outdated tv show that was on when most of the PNMs were in preschool.

We aren't going to focus on any "inside joke" kind of things except for their personalities because each four girls represent the four points in ADPi: sisterhood, scholarship, sorority, and self.

But would any of them really know what "a Carrie" is? heck, I was an adult at the time and I couldn't name them all without some serious thought.

I was in college at the time the show was on/ending, and I couldn't tell you back then - and I still can't tell you now - what their names are or what their personalities are like.

As I said before, I don't think there's anything wrong with doing something different than the other chapters (actually, I applaud it), but do you know why the other sororities probably have themes like award ceremonies and talk shows and game shows? Because most people have probably watched at least one award show and one talk show and one game show in their lives. But you probably don't even have to ever watch an entire award show to know that people make ridiculous speeches, their time is cut off, there are montages, a red carpet, and everyone dresses up. And most people know that a talk show has a host and they bring guests on the program. And most people know that a game show consists of questions to answer or games to play, which lead to prizes. And hey, what person has never seen an episode of the Price is Right?! And added bonus: those themes don't require people to know specific characters.

Has a reality show theme been done? You could make it seem like a big drama fest at first, and then show the "reality" of living in the house, participating in rituals, taking part in philanthropic projects, and just being sisters. Just an idea!

And question: Does your skit even have to center around a tv show/genre? If you're going to be different anyway, why not be REALLY different?
