This show is written where the Actors only say one word with the letter "L" in it. This is A one Act designed to be in A night of one Acts with other shows, or can stand on it's own. It does not need A stage And needs limited sound effects.

November 3Rd

Synopsis:
In the complete darkness of night, the audience hears a heinous crime being committed. In the aftermath, a bereaved and silent husband finds himself coping with the ineptitude of the justice system, and watches as the convicted murderers of his wife, a 17 year-old boy and his mentally retarded brother, go free. as he wordlessly decides to take justice into his own hands, life around him continues on, and his friends work to bring him back to reality. Once again using the darkness of night, the audience listens as the husband exacts his own justice. In a poignant dream, the man is confronted by the image of his wife who asks him if he was truly bringing justice to her memory, or simply seeking vengeance for himself. Utilizing the brutality of the audience's own imagination, and the charisma of a silent leading character, November 3rd is an intense look into the failings of the modern justice system and the power of grief.

Notes:
The opening rape/murder scene And the torture scene Are written to be performed in complete blackout, leaving the Audience with only their imagination to fill out the scene. Also, the leading character is Almost silent for the length of the production, having only three lines. The Actor must rely solely on physical presence to command the Audience's emotions And Attention.

Steel Girders

Synopsis:
Set on the steel girder of a high rise building, the waiting room in a wedding chapel and parking lot outside a hospital maternity ward, Steel Girders is the simple story of four steel workers who find themselves looking at life, love and friendship through the uncanny and often unrefined eyes of each other. Between sharing dreams of the perfect unplanned day off, to warming the cold and trembling feet of a nearly jilted bridegroom and understanding the depth of character of the most unlikely father-to-be, these four friends realize that friendship and humor is the steel girder supporting this crazy structure called life.

Notes:
The opening scene takes place during lunch on A steel beam of A high rise building. The Actors should Appear to be sitting on it. The end result should be that the Actor's feet Are dangling.
