Geocache Description:


"Persimmon's pal, Pansy, is incredibly opinionated and dramatic. If she goes with Persimmon geocaching, she will scream with joy and fling her arms around her friend with glee, then do her patented happy dance. If Persimmon DNFs then Pansy can be found lying on the trail weeping. Sometimes for hours." -from GC5WHCF: Pesky Pervasive Personality Peculiarities.

Drama Queen Pansy has a lot of time on her hands ever since her best friend, Persimmon, started a pre-med program. So she decided to put her free time and personality to good use by getting involved in community theater. She scheduled an audition for a local production of "Camelot." Then she put the 1967 movie version on and did some research to help her prepare(aka pesky play prepping). She also listened to the CD version of the original Broadway cast recording and thought that might really be the better version of the Queen. Why, oh, why, couldn't she sing like the great Julie Andrews? She needed to schedule some more singing lessions, pronto!
