LIGHTS UP
1: (to audience) And now for a particularly clever bit of mischief! ("hides" at side)
2: (walking along goofily with boxes) Dum da dum dum dum. I hope nobody's hiding behind these bushes here... Cause I'm carrying a large stack of boxes, and I'd really hate to be startled into dropping them...
1: (slightly whispering to audience) Wait for it...
2: Especially because one of these boxes has a banana cream pie in it, which would get all over my new outfit...
1: ...
2: ... and another one a stack of fragile porcelain dishes that my grandmother gave me...and another one is filled with live snakes.
1: Wait for it...
2: So once again, I certainly hope no one's hiding in those bushes right over there, planning some sort of hilarious prank. Anyway, I better keep going (walks along, goofily)
1: (finger to mouth, leaning forward) ...
2: (Walks slowly by)
1: Wait for it...
2: (walks offstage)
1: Wait for it...
2: (from offstage) OH MY GOD, WHO BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE!!??
1: Ha! (slap's knee or whatever)

The following is the draft of my "Hilarious Prank" that was used for the light booth at BOBONS. It is niether very accurate nor very hilarious, unfortunately.
A Hilarious Prank
By Lilly Richard

LIGHTS UP
1: And now, for a particularly clever bit of mischief. (Moves back, crouches, and "hides" to watch as #2 comes onstage)

2: (walks onstage somewhat slowly and goofily, carrying a large stack of boxes) -Dum da dum dum dum- Boy, I am carrying a large, precarious stack of boxes. I sure hope nobody is hiding in those bushes over there, planning on jumping out and startling me in to dropping them!

1: Wait for it...

2: Because one of these boxes is holding a Boston cream pie, which would get all over my new outfit!

1: (grins, leans forward) Wait for it...

2: And another has a stack of my great-grandma's porcelain dishes, priceless and fragile heirlooms...

1: (holds up a finger) ....

2: And another one is filled with live snakes!

1: (laughs silently) ....

2: So, once again, I certainly hope that no one is hiding out, planning some sort of hilarious prank.

1: Wait for it...

2: (Walks slowly across the stage)....

1: ...

2: (Walks off-stage)

1: Wait for it...

2: (from off-stage) OH MY GOD, WHO BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE?

1: (slaps knee/grins)
LIGHTS DOWN.
