Beautiful Day
A Comedy, Sort of
3W / 1M
Approximate Playing Time: 15 minutes
A young protestor sits alone on a park bench. As the tear gas clears and birds sing, a white man joins her, uninvited, totally oblivious to her beliefs or needs. The white man rattles away, spewing his views on gender and the roles of men and women in society. Soon a social worker appears pulling a wagon full of photos, hawking the 10,000 additional babies expected to be born that year as a result of overturning federal protection of abortion rights. The social worker, frustrated with her task of finding homes for all those new babies, insists the white man adopt an embryo. As she becomes increasingly unhinged, the white man runs away with the social worker in pursuit. Alone once again on the bench, the young protestor is now approached by an Influencer who caught the whole thing on video. Only the Influencer needs the young woman to move aside so her videographer can replace her on the bench using AI technology. Trust me, it is a comedy! And well worth raising a few eyebrows when you perform it in front of an audience.
