My First Short Play

...

Curtain Rises

The stage is dark. A bright spotlight comes on, illuminating a Man standing centerstage.

MAN (wincing)

Ah! Jesus, that's bright! Turn that off.

Spolight goes out. The stage is completely dark again.

MAN (relieved)

Ah. Jesus. Now this is dark.

The Man hops off the stage into the house.

MAN

Thank you, Jesus.

The Man walks up an aisle to an open seat and sits down.

Curtain falls.
