Scene 1
(Auditions are beginning for Centerton's annual Christmas play.
Kids are milling about. There is a feeling of great anticipation.
Stormie Skye is reporting in front, and Taylor and Bailey stand next
to her. Both are "over-the-top" amateur actors.)
STORMIE: I'm Stormie Skye back with you in Centerton. With just minutes
to go before the first rehearsal, Centerton's theater community,
in fact their entire community is beside themselves with
excitement. I'm here with Taylor and Bailey, two of Centerton's
promising young actors. How do you feel, Taylor?
TAYLOR: (silly enthralled with being on TV) I'm beside myself, Stormie.
STORMIE: Taylor and Bailey here are considered two of Centerton's up-
and-coming young actors and the future of Centerton theater. I
understand that Taylor has actually taken acting lessons.
TAYLOR: (proudly) Four!
STORMIE: And Bailey has just returned to Centerton from Hollywood.
Were you on tour?
BAILEY: Yes, I took the Greyline tour. I saw the Hollywood sign,
handprints in concrete and a lot of star homes. What a great
vacation! Someday, I want to go there as an actress!
STORMIE: You all really seem to love your Christmas play!
BAILEY: We all do! It's Centerton's most important tradition! My great-
grandmother was one of the first angels. My grandmother was
an angel for over 20 years, my mother was an angel for 10 years
and I have been recreating the role for the last three years.
STORMIE: (to the camera) Certainly a cherished tradition! Oh, wait! I think
I see him! Yes, it's him. Cecil V. DeVille is arriving for the first
production meeting! Let's watch!
