No Hope for Butch is a con skit written by Elizabeth Lowry and Linda McGee.
This play may have been a riff on the 1991 ski, Knight in Blue Armour, or No Hope for Hutch.
Description
"No Hope For Butch" was an impromptu performance of the world-famous repertory theatre group known as "Bad SH Theatre" which has been holding performances at SHareCons since bad SH stories have been written. In other words, a very long time. The performance was held at SHareCon 2000 before an appreciative audience, which was positively struck dumb by its wit and charm. And weirdness. The "script" was written in a feverish burst of creativity right at the con. Which shows. During the performance the "story" was read by the Narrator (which was good since no one had any time for rehearsals), and acted out by SHareCon members who had no lines, no props, and no shame. They did, however, have wigs, which didn't fit, and appropriate looking leather jackets made of plastic. And, of course, raw talent and more brass than a statue in the park. [1]
