Those look delicious, Pinkie Pie!
Hold on, a spritz of sweet cream
will make it even splendid-er!
Gah! Hold your horseshoes!
I made toffee cupcake toppers for each and every one!
Well, what're you waiting for?
Drink it up before they melt! - (SLURPING)
Pinkie Pie, these milkshakes sure are the motor to my mosey!
But what's the special occasion?
(GASP) You mean, you ponies forgot?!?
(SIGH) We're hosting Ponyville Play Day
this year!
(SIGHS OF RELIEF)
The holiday created to mark the one day that's furthest
from all the other holidays.
Last year when Trixie hosted it,
it was amazingly incredible!
(CHEERING)
This year we have to make ours even better!
Especially since the Wild Siders are here!
Maybe I can serve up some of my monster milkshakes?
Or maybe... For Play Day,
we should actually put on a play!
(CHEERS IN AGREEMENT) - Great idea!
The pressure's on! What play shall we pick to perform?
Oop! Something heavy on the prop comedy?
Or one scientifically proven to spark super-fun celebration?
Or a multi-part melodrama
with a cast of at least twelve.
But Rarity, we're only six ponies.
Alright, you've twisted my hoof--
I'll play seven roles myself!
I know! Let's pitch our plays to the Wild Siders
and they'll decide. (CHEERING)
Good evening, Wild Siders.
May I present... The Mane Six!
(CHEERING)
Welcome to Ponyville Play Day,
where each day is met with a rootin' tootin' rhythm--
HIT IT!
♪ I am a pony and it's my day to play! ♪
♪ I say hooray! For it's Play Day! Yay! ♪
(CHEERING) - Bravo!
But wait, there's more!
This is going to be-- A staged adaptation of--
The true story of--
THE FASTEST PONY IN PONYVILLE!
♪
(PANTING)
(IMPACT CRASH) (WILD SIDERS GASP)
Not so fast, ponies!
This very special production will be performed
IN THE ROUND!
That means both the stage
AND THE AUDIENCE...
are the stage.
I shall be playing Pone-TEEN,
the innocent daughter of the banker!
And I'll also be playing
Pone-TEITH the banker. (SPLAT!)
That's all well and good, ponies,
but what this play really needs is some sweet, sweet slapstick!
Mmmmm!
(RAVENOUS EATING NOISES) (WILD SIDERS GIGGLING)
Pinkie, you're making a mess!
How are we gonna clean this before my Play Day presentation
about important topics-- like the stars in our solar system!
And, and... other serious stuff!
Or my holiday history hoedown--
honoring the Play Day tradition? - (RAINBOW DASH PANTING)

(ABSTRACT MUSIC)
Your play's about a box?
♪
It's a play about multiple boxes?
(SIGH) It's a play about the Ponyville Bicentennial
and the founding of our town through the eyes of
its original members! - Oh, mhm!
That was my next guess. But back to my play--
(MANE 6 BICKERING)
Where's my play?!
HEY, HEY. HEY!
CHILL OUT, PONY-DUDES!
What are you even arguing about?
This play's already got it all!
The beginning with the musical...
The melodrama in the middle.
The pies! Comedy pies!
It's like six gnarly plays in one!
Like some kind of hip "super-play!"
Wow! I hadn't even thought'a that.
(EAGER REMARKS IN AGREEMENT)
What a great idea!

Huh?

"A perfect depiction of the strengths of our friendships

Hmmm. Paint, check.
Props, check.
Hmmm, have you seen my teapot?
Maybe we left it behind.
As the lead star of "A Neigh in the Life"
I must have my teapot.
I reckon we should double-check the wagon then.
Ah, there you are!
Wait, is that a crack?

Listen, Verity, that's your name, right?
I've been looking for a grand actress
like yourself to perform in my new stage show,
"I Trot Along."
(GASP!)
ASSISTANT: Curtain Call, you're needed onstage!
That's my cue. You're gonna be the best
Tree #2 there is, Clarity!
See you at rehearsal.
Need a hoof finding your teapot?
Did you know Curtain Call,
Applewood director extraordinaire,
is here to debut his new play--
Yeah, they're in the theatre right across from us!
-- And he wants ME to play a part in it.
My big break has finally arrived!
It's a shame our plays are on the same night.
(ECHOING) Same night.... Same night...
Same night... - Ohhhh!
Don't worry, just put on a happy face...
Perfect!
This is a big opportunity that's knocking,
so answer the door...
and say yes to the dress rehearsal!
You're absolutely right.
I can take on both parts!
Besides how many lines could a tree even have?
Heya Rarity, do you think we could do a read through
together before I help with the lights?
I don't think I'll have time, I'm already busy rehearsing
for both plays and well--
Oh, that's probably my agent,
I had him email me my new schedule.
Hmmm. There's a bit of an overlap during rehearsal,
but, pfft, nothing I shouldn't be able to handle,
I am, after all, an actor!
(CLEARS THROAT)
Ahhh!
(AWKWARD LAUGHTER)
Oh no!

Oops.

(FRANTIC PANTING)
Ohhhh!
From the top of scene five... I am the tree!
Ahem... oh sorry yea, let me try that again.
I AM the tree!
You're the what?
How could I be such a silly filly?
I was reading from the wrong play.
Oh it's an update from Curtain Call...
Ehhh... "Charity, congratulations,
your role as Tree #2 has been extended
and you will now be on stage for the entire play?!"
There's no way now I can be in both plays at once.
This big break feels more like a big headache.
- Think of the exposure! - The shows must go on!
One of them must happen without her!
Friends come and go--
But one night shows are forever!
Should we ask her what she thinks?
No. She knows the role she was born to play...
Ponies... lend me your ears.
It is with great sadness that I have decided to leave
our production of "A Neigh in the Life."
Parting is such sweet sorrow,
but Sugar Snap will be a great replacement
as she is an amazing understudy.
I will now make my exit... stage left.
Everypony is gonna be so excited
that I fixed the houselights when they get back from lunch!
I am the tree. I aaammm the tree!
Huh?
"Due to unforeseen magical events,
our performance has been cancelled."
No, that can't be right.
Must be right.
So a funny thing happened
on the way to the theatre...
the Crystal Globe is reopening as an aquarium,
but even if it wasn't, I know that leaving our play
was selfish of me.
And that is why I believe Sugar Snap should keep the role
that I so carelessly cast aside.
And now I shall be out of the play.
Actually, I have a better idea.
Let's split the role!
- What do you say, Rarity? - I gracefully accept.
So can we finally do that read through?
Absolutely!
