A Brilliant New Play

Alex: Female, 25, a badass

Jamie: Male, 26, Alex’s best friend

Set Description- A stage covered with leaves and a solitary tree.

Alex: (with enthusiasm)* Oh my gosh! I can’t believe the day I’ve been waiting for is finally here!

She skips around the stage. Jamie enters, stage right.**

Jamie: Hey! It’s the day! The day you’ve been waiting for!

Alex: I KNOW! (She runs to hug Jamie) I’ve waited so long!

Jamie: Well let’s go do the thing!

Alex: Ok! (She squeals with delight)

They exit, arm in arm.

The End

Stage direction formats (You do not need to include these asterisks in your own play):

*Type 1- These are great for ‘acting advice,’ the way you envision a line said, or for action that should happen while the line is being said. This type of stage direction should be placed before, but separated from, the dialogue in parentheses and italics.

**Type 2- These are good for entrances and exits and actions that happen between lines. This type of stage direction should be indented and italicized in its own line, and does not require parentheses, though some playwrights prefer them.
