Scene 2
(One week later … lots of activity on stage. Cast members are
getting ready for rehearsal, people are walking around with
construction boards and costumes in their arms, etc.)
STORMIE: Biff and Christine, we are a week of hard work into what many
are calling, "The Spectacle in Centerton," and excitement is
high! Neither Mayor Flume nor Town Councilwoman Briggs
have missed a rehearsal! This is a big deal in this town!
BAILEY: Have you heard?!
TAYLOR: Heard what?
BAILEY: Mr. DeVille has re-written the play again! It's bigger than ever.
It even has a new title. It's going to be called …
(As Bailey starts to tell everyone, Mr. Deville walks on stage behind
her unnoticed. Everybody holds their breath in anticipation, but
DeVille finishes Bailey's announcement.)
DEVILLE: "The Marvelous Manger! … A Cecil V. Deville Production!"
(DeVille notices Bailey standing there)
DEVILLE: (to Bailey) Young lady!
BAILEY: Me?
DEVILLE: Yes. What is your name?
BAILEY: Bailey, sir!
DEVILLE: Bailey, I've taken notice of your dramatic skills. I need an
assistant director!
BAILEY: Y-Y-Yes sir!
DEVILLE: First order of business—round up those new costumes I
described.
BAILEY: What should I do with the old ones?
