And Now for a Brief Commercial Message

Do you remember back in the day when we were a mere drama club and we'd never heard of ninja or busy bee?  Do you remember when Miss Allison Erskine was only a mass of pixels on Mrs. Erskine's computer screen instead of the crazed mistress of theater games?  Do you remember the weekly commercials we did, during the Friday morning announcements?  Well, guess what?  It's time to get our advertising groove on!

AMC has Mad Men, but GMS has Broadway Knights.  Who needs a creative director like Don Draper when GMS has Mr. Benjamin Erskine, anyway?  Just take a look at these Broadway Knights Padawan Learners- yes, I looked it up, and that is the accepted plural- and the actors they could replace:

• Healthy Choice has Julia Louis-Dreyfus, GMS suggests Tiffany Raeuber.
• Gieco has the Caveman, GMS suggests Matt "Wolfman" Rogers.
• Old Spice has Isaiah Mustafa, GMS suggests Alex Messick.
• Progressive Insurance has Stephanie Courtney, GMS suggests Joanie Shinn.
• Activia has Jamie Lee Curtis, GMS suggests Brittany Yeo.
• State Farm has Eddie Matos, GMS suggests Kirby Wilson.
• Chase Sapphire has Molly Culver, GMS suggests Alyson Tober.
• Exedrin has Elisabeth Moss, GMS suggests Allie Spaccarelli.
• Covergirl has Drew Barrymore, GMS suggests Madison Bendistis.
• Delish has Rachael Ray, GMS suggests Rebecca Wilson.

How many of these professional actors do you suppose would willingly do a weekly public service announcement for Georgetown Middle School?  But then again, how many Broadway Knights do you suppose would turn down a boat-load of cash?
