OK. So my short and somewhat vague entry generated complaints. :)
We did a short skit based on Sweeney Todd, adding a sprinkling of SF Media steroetypes and FarPoint culture.
Enjoy the short, it's about 1.5 minutes. Note that this was taken with our personal camera, and is not the official video. The transcript and a gallery of pics follow.

"THE WORST PIES IN FANDOM"
(Sweeny Todd and Mrs. Lovett enter and stroll arm in arm toward front.)
MC: Even as she and Sweeny Todd stroll along the boardwalk at the seaside convention of Farpoint, Mrs. Lovett remains on the lookout for new fillings for her infamous pies.
(Two viper pilots enter from one side, goes around the couple, exits stage front.)
MC: Viper pilots?
(The couple shake their heads)
MC: No, too drunk.
(A Red Shirt enters from the other side, goes around the couple, exits stage front.)
MC: Red shirts?
(The couple shake their heads)
MC: No, too bland.
(A Ninja enters, goes around the couple, exits stage front. The couple perks up.)
MC: Ah, yes. Perfect. Tender, tasty -- and no one notices if they're missing.
(Sweeney and Lovett brandish the pie pan and rolling pin and quickly stroll after the ninja.)
MC: The "worst pies in fandom" -- on sale now in the lobby. Sara Lee, eat your heart out!
