"Pete"
By, Christopher Clarke
MUSIC CUE.
A chair with its back to the audience is center
stage. A flashlight finds the chair.
A twelve inch "Buzz Aldrin" action figure upside
down and in a foetal position slowly rises from
behind the back of the chair.
The figure slowly turns upright - back still to
audience - and rests its feet on the top of the back
of the chair.
The figure comes out of its crouch to a fully
standing position.
The figure pivots on its left foot to face the
audience.
The figure "lifts off" from the back of the chair.
A speak bubble is held to the left of the figure that
reads: "THANKS, HOUSTON"
As the music begins to fade, another speak bubble
is held to the right of the figure that reads:
"I APREESHIATE IT!"
The music fades - the flashlight goes off.
THE END
