Alright people! I'm really into writing latley so I decided to write a play. it's very innocent and kinda quirky with some darkness. But hey, That's me in a nutshell. So tell me what you think of scene 1. I will post scene 2 later fi you want.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue

(Starts out with fern sitting on the edge of the stage left with the curtains closed behind her.)

Fern: Hi I’m Fern Collins. About 2 months ago, I moved hear, to the big city. Now, being a country girl I’m not used to this. All the people, all the places to go, it’s really quite exciting. Ha-ha, who am I kidding? I hate it hear. I miss my old farm house, my dog rex and most of all, the atmosphere. But I can’t go back now. No no no.
I came hear to get away from my family. Those bumbling brutes, they would probably chase me away for coming back. (Stands up and points a finger out into the audience) “Coward!” is what they would say. “When time’s get rough you just up and leave?! We raised you better than that!!” Hmph. I don’t need that. I got my own problems now. The rent is dew and I can’t pay, I’m hungry and frozen down to my bones and I’m broke. I came out hear for a shot at Broadway, not to deal with all this garbage. But I’ve met some pretty cool people hear. They are actors and actresses just like me! But one shines out over all. He’s so cool. (Sighs and a Pager beeps)Uh-oh! Time for my audition! I gotta go! (Runs off stage right)

Scene one
(Fern and a bunch of people are sitting in a room looking anxious)
(A man turns to talk to fern. He is dressed in a black t-shirt and jeans with a fedora on)
Angel: How do you think you did?

Fern: I’m mighty nervous. I hope I did okay, I totally almost chocked out there!!!! (Fern starts biting her nails)

Angel: Oh no! You were amazing!! Take this as you want but, I think you would make a good drag queen! (Angel smiles innocently)

Fern: Ha-ha, well thank you! I think you would make a pretty good gay professor.

Angel: Well hey, at least I’ll be playing along side you. And maybe after we can go get some dinner together? Well, if you wanna. I mean...he-he (Looks away shyly)
(NUMBER 22 IS CALLED)
Oh that’s me!!!!!

Fern: good luck!!
(Angel exits and all conversation in the room stops. The lights dim and fern walk back up to the front of the stage)
Fern: (a spotlight focuses on fern) that’s him!! That’s the one. He is amazingly cool! He-he. If he gets that part, his name will be my last name and my first name will be his first name! (Giddy giggle) I don’t think I’ve ever felt this giddy and happy back home. These feelings are all so new to me. I think I like the big city! (Fern walks back to her seat and sits down. The lights go back on and conversation resumes)

(NUMBER 28 is called)
(Fern get’s up and runs offstage. Lights dim and the scene changes to fern and angel in front of a judges table. Three judges sit at the table with clipboards and pens)

Judge one: Well, Do you know why we called you two in hear?

Angel: Uh… Well, do you know why? (Smirks and nudges fern)

Judge 3: Well uh…Angel, you got the part! And um… Sorry fern. You didn’t. Better luck next time.

Fern: (jaw drops) Then who got it!?

( A girl struts in with her head high and a big smile on her face)

Jenny: I did. You’re just my understudy.
Understand? (Throws her head back and laughs)

Fern: Oh… Oh. (angel hugs fern)

Angel: (whispers) Don’t worry fern. I have a plan. (jenny grabs angels arm)

Jenny: come on angel. We gotta practice together. (smiles evilly at fern) Sorry understudy. Looks like you’re alone tonight, right angel? (Starts dragging him offstage)

Angel: FERN! I’ll call you! (Jenny and angel exit)
(Fern let’s out a small cry and runs off stage)

Well Jesse, I want you to post Scene two. I can't wait to see what happens to Jenny so Fern can take her place.
