---Sub Act---

---------------------------------------------------------
Chars:

Main:

Mike- 14 years old. While genuinely observant, Mike is a total fluff when it comes to observing his peers actions. Doesnt know what to do in some situations, but aspires to become a wealthy doctor over all other things.
Gordy 28 years old. Due to his short stature, and limited intelligence, Gordy has been repeating the 9th grade for 13 years. His parents are divorced, and so he lives with the closet thing he has to a family. Mikes family. He sleeps outside, and Mike and Gordy are genuinely close friends. There is scarce evidence of this in the play because both (especially mike) are ashamed of Gordys presence. But this is why Gordy and Mike are always in every scene. Gordy has been living with Mikes family for about 8 years.
Alice Age 16 .Not many friends. She hangs out with Gordy and Mike in her spare time, and secretly feels that hanging out with guys makes her feel pretty. She is yeah


Minor:
(Note: Due to the graphic nature of this media most of the characters introduced into the play are only have 2 lines or they die within 30 seconds of their introduction. Thus there is an vast amount of minor characters, and due to time refrains the play is limited in what it can deliver, so to truly grasp the play you must understand the characters.)

Priest Age Well he says hes 38After being accused of charges of touching a child in the greater Madison area, he has decided to move to the unnamed town that takes place in the play. Even though there is hardly any mention of the priest some scraps of evidence do surface.
Annie- Age 15. Mikes secret crush well at least thats what Mike says. Annie has known Mike since she was 4 years old and Gordy until just recently when she found him wandering around in mikes basement while nearly suffocating on Pringles. She secretly loves Jeff (And Bryan.)
Jeff Age 15. The high school hero football wanna-be. After he set the school record in 2001, he has always been trying to get back on top. He eventually turned to steroids, but during a random drug screening he failed and was held back a year in school. After that his life went down hill. He first started abusing depressants, but then moved along the line (if you know what I mean.)
Bryan 19 years old. A drug dealer. Emancipated himself at the age of 7, and dropped out of elementary school at the age of 13. Living off government handouts, his parents do not earn enough money to support his destructive lifestyle so he must sell drugs to keep himself eating.


Exposition:

The play takes place in unnamed city it is not a quiet town. Besides San Andreas it is the murder capitol of the world. The population is 528 make that 527528.527.
It has the most problems of any city ever. It is the biggest drug capitol in the United States 526Almost every teen has drugs in his locker or in his coat pocket. It is a torn community. The play starts out and Jeff and Bryan are doing drugs. They will soon/not soon find out how their actions will affect themselves, and their community.
unnamed city is a city of no hope. The graduation percentage is .0001% turnout. There have been 532 mayors of the city within the last two months. 532 of them have been executed 10 minutes into office.
The city is looking for something to change.

Nice, I like it. it's different from the other stories.

Finished and Edited.

Tell me what you people think.

Lol, good update. Got a bit of humor, sadness, drug reference, politics, real life issues that money can't buy love ect.. Hope you get a good mark.

Thanx.
It seems whenever I post anything on these forums it never gets read...
Lol.
Unless there are zombies.

Gotta make things shorter...

But my friends thought it was funny.
I put it on a dif website... no bad reviews.

I haven't been able to get on the comp for about 2 months.
Not that I don't wanna post. Just unable to get on.

But I'll start comming back here.

Make things shorter? It's pretty brief already. That'd take like what, 10-15 min to act out?

It's funny but its very random; Characters die way quickly, random stuff happens, and the moral message is tacked on at the end - which I guess is what you intended, a short insane bit of comedy. I'm not sure why you did such detailed character backgrounds, as none of them really come into play and the characters are barely around long enough for their history to matter.

Some spelling mistakes here and there.

That was the irony of the situation...

Pretty much intended to make fun of the characters. A little bit on jokes in there...

Well It was ment to be an insane humor thing... muchly basing jokes on character developement.

I'm writing a long brainbread story. So you can anticipate to see that sometime this month.

I haven't been able to get on the computer at all, so that's why I don't post

somestuff taken from zombie movies wich took it from other stuff and i LOVE it, but why did the priest have blood on him? Becuase he is irish?
