Wednesday At The Children's Museum
Cast:
Lia
Reed
Setting: The Children's Museum
(Lights up, enter Lia and Reed, stage left, walking slowly)
Lia: Oh, Reed, this is so exciting!
Reed: It's been a while, but it's worth it.
L: They needed a lot of time.
R: Don't want to screw up something like this.
L: And to open the show on a Wednesday too!
R: That was a very noble touch.
L: They've been so kind to us this whole year.
R: I know, it's like we paid them for this special treatment instead of the other way around.
L: Remind me to write them a huge thank-you card when we get home.
R: I'll write one too.
L: Ohh, that'll be nice; do that.
R: I just think that they've done so much to honor our family with this display.
L: Think of how many people will see it!
R: I mean, we've always been supporters.
L: It's a fabulous organization; they give so much to the community.
R: It was about time that we gave them enough to better serve their mission.
L: And the large brass plaque honoring our donation doesn't hurt our position in town.
R: Well, yes... but that was not the purpose.
L: I know; I know. It was to honor Wednesday's memory.
(they stop in front of a large encased diorama, it needn't be visible to the audience, but if you want it to be, then put in the appropriate "prop")
R: And... wow... there she is.
L: Oh my! She's beautiful.
R: So serene, peaceful. In her natural environment.
L: She looks so life-like, so... happy.
R: (hugging L close) Much happier than when we told her about the sale.
L: Oh, Wednesday...
R: It was the right thing, Lia. It was the right amount. It was the right time.
L: Yes, I know... it's just that she's here... forever.
R: (quieting her) It's for the children, dear, for the children.
