Lights out, then up on one side of stage.
Two reporters are at a desk reporting the election news. The scene is that of a news station. The reporters are frantically fixing themselves.
Connie Reporter #1:
Water please! Hurry people! Oh, I’m going to be great! I just know it! Water
please! And you had better not step on my lines this time! Where’s that water?
Bryan Reporter #2:
What are you talking about? Your such a media hog! I’m the one viewers look
for when it comes to serious journalistic integrity.
Voice:
OK, places. We go on in 3,2,1 and…
Connie Reporter #1:
Turning to Huntington Cove city council elections, 3 of the candidates had a
unique way of getting their message across to the voters.
Bryan Reporter #2:
That’s right Connie. His name is John Burns and he’s a lead singer in a
local band. He mixed a little singing with a little politicking today at a
campaign rally near the beach singing to the crowd. But with him on the stage
were 2 other candidates also on the same ballot. The rally was to bring
awareness to environmental issues facing the city.
(Lights out. A few minutes later, lights on whole stage. We see John singing with Chris and Glenn in the background. John is the lead singer. On the back, Mr. Twain and company congratulates the 3 candidates.)
(sides cont'd)
(Lights out on Chris, lights up on other side of stage.)
News station with reporters.
Bryan Reporter #2:
Guess what? I just got a part in a major motion picture. And I have lines! Not
one, not 2, not even 3, but 4 lines!
Connie Reporter #1:
Playing what? A news broadcaster? That doesn’t count! That’s not really
acting in our case.
Voice:
On in 3, 2, 1, and…
Bryan Reporter #2:
In a strange twist, one of the candidates running for city council has resorted
to something new.
Connie Reporter #1:
That’s right Bryan. While one of the candidates is trying to sing his way onto
a seat at the council table, another one, that’s Chris Mills, is trying to
joke himself towards a win. Chris was at Huntington Cove’s finest senior
citizen home to talk about the major issues of the campaign. Bryan, you were
there right?
Bryan Reporter #2:
That’s right Connie, I was there. I’ve got to say that I didn’t really
hear a lot about what Mr. Mills plans to do when elected, but I did hear lots of
laughter from seniors. Chris Mills has been making the rounds at several local
senior homes and organizations and seems to be gaining support.
Connie Reporter #1:
Also regarding the news, campaign spokesman Twain announced that one of the
candidates is scheduled to make a major announcement. Political experts are in
the dark as to what this earth shattering announcement is going to be.
Bryan Reporter #2:
Well I’m sure it’s going to be earth shattering by Huntington Cove
standards. In other news, fire rescuers rescued Mrs. Blanches cat named Willy
from an oak tree.
Connie Reporter #1:
That’s right Bryan. Eight Firefighters spent all afternoon trying to retrieve
the pussy, who neighbors say was stuck in the oak tree for over 4 hours.
Firefighters actually never rescued Willy because Willy ended up jumping down
after being scared from the new yellow fire ladders the city is using now.
Bryan Reporter #2:
Word is Willy is relaxing quietly at home with his owner.
(Lights out on reporters, lights on other part of stage.)
