Waiting to...

Imagine for a moment:

WAITING TO BE BORN...A sonogram of a fetus in the womb narrated by an old British man describing his attempt to escape from his imprisonment.

WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT...A women in a restaurant desperately trying to get a word in, in order to break up with a very irritating boyfriend.

WAITING TO PEE...Two women waiting in the 20 person line at intermission. They discuss more than that bodily function and become friends in the process.

WAITING FOR THE DIAGNOSIS...A couple in the waiting room anxiously anticipating his diagnosis. A discussion of Heaven and the afterlife inevitably ensues.

WAITING FOR MASTER...A dog and cat lament over the long absence of their master. Could be two days...could be ten minutes. Who knows?

WAITING TO DIE...A 90-year-old woman faces death with the help of an invisible spirit. Her daughter is understandably confused.

 

(THE WEDDING PART ONE) WAITING TO WALK DOWN THE AISLE...a bride and her mother negotiating the fear experienced by most brides. Panic abounds.

(THE WEDDING PART TWO) WAITING FOR THE BRIDE...A decidedly “Bill and Ted” groom and best man realize that the bride may not be coming.

(THE WEDDING PART THREE) WAITING FOR THE PRIEST...The entire thing becomes moot when the priest fails to show up due to a car accident.

WAITING FOR A SIGN...A young deacon grills his mentor on the eve of his ordination . He needs a sign. He’s not sure what will do it.

WAITING TO BE CHOSEN...A stuffed bear and a stuffed bunny wait inside an arcade claw machine. Five years and nobody wants them. Hilarious and touching. Oh, did I mention? They’re both from New Jersey.

WAITING FOR INSPIRATION...The frustrated playwright waits for inspiration in order to write the perfect scene to close the play. In his desperation, he writes God into existence to tell His version of the creation. It’s nothing like you expect!

“It is one of the most heartfelt pieces you will see exploring some touching movements and moments of self examination.”

​

“I could see myself in every one of the pieces.”

​

“I laughed till my sides ached!”

¨ The play can be cast with as few as 8 actors and as many as 23, making it versatile for any size group.

¨ The set can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. The original production utilized a 6x9 ornate frame on the upstage wall into which were projected images fitting each scene.

¨ Because each scene involves only two actors (with a couple exceptions) rehearsals are easy to schedule and can be fairly light for each actor, especially in the early stages.
