Fade to Black
A One Act Comedy by Greg Freier
3W / 3M
Approximate Playing Time: 45 minutes

It’s 1975 and Raymond Mound’s play has just opened on Broadway to less than stellar reviews.  As one reviewer put it, “For someone to have the testicular fortitude to concoct a “Last Cocktail Party” before the Last Supper takes creative license to a place that even God himself couldn’t have imagined.” The play’s director, Tony, delivers each review with continued optimism as Raymond’s verve and vigor disastrously deteriorates.  His pleas to be left alone in his personal hell are exacerbated by Terrance; Raymond’s T.V. buddy from L.A. Though a mediocre actor at best, Terrance’s celebrity status is lauded by Betsy and Lilith who stumble into the room searching for the ladies room—or so they say.  Your audiences will love attending this opening night party, cringing with each new review and laughing out loud at Raymond’s dramatic desperation. It’s great to remain hopeful that something will turn the nightmare around but perhaps the best solution of all is to just “Fade to Black.” $10 Single-Use Copyright Fee plus $40 Royalty per Performance for Amateur Theatre.  Professional Theatre Royalties Calculated on Application.
