Scene 3
(A beehive of activity continues as Stormie reports. Rehearsals and
construction.)
STORMIE: Christine, with just ten days to go before the performance,
activity in Centerton's 50
th
anniversary production of their
Christmas play is at a fever pitch! It's hard to keep track of
everything going on. DeVille is a genius!
FLUME: Mr. Deville!
DEVILLE: How may I be of assistance?
BRIGGS: Well, it's actually we who may be of assistance to you.
DEVILLE: How so?
FLUME: This Civic Center … it's getting a little dingy and old …
BRIGGS: And we're thinking that maybe your production deserves a
more—impressive stage.
DEVILLE: (intrigued) Go onnnn.
FLUME: With all the improvements you're making in the Christmas
show, we're concerned that the Civic Center won't have enough
seats for all the voters, er, uh, audience.
BRIGGS: How would you like to stage the production in the Junior College
football stadium? It can seat 20,000! It would take your
masterpiece to the next level!
(Bailey runs up.)
BAILEY: Mr. DeVille! Good news! The Hollywood prop-master just
finished the two-story manger! It looks fabulous!
DEVILLE: Tell him to tear it down. It won't be adequate! We'll need it even
bigger. I have decided that this spectacular production is too
monumental, too immense for the Civic Center—we will
perform at the Centerton Junior College football stadium!
(all cheer)
