Scene 2 opens with Leonard getting dressed nicely
Leonard: *puts on white shirt, then a black jacket over, lastly, a black tie around his neck* Alrighty, here. *tightens tie around his neck* There we go.
*cell phone rings*
Leonard: *answers the phone* Leonard speaking.
Felicity: Leonard, where are you?! The theater opens in half an hour!
Leonard: Don’t worry, Felicity. I’ll be there shortly.
Felicity: Okay, hurry! *hangs up*
Leonard: Oh, boy.
Leonard: *pulls up in parking space, turns off car, and climbs out* Today is the day! *walks through the entrance doors of the Lighthouse Theater*
Felicity: What took you so long?!
Leonard: I’m sorry, I must’ve lost track of time. Besides, why exactly did you call me down here this early?
Felicity: Because Mr. Jordan Myers wants to have a word with you.
Leonard: Mr. Jordan Myers wants to have a word… with me?!
Felicity: Yes, he’s in his office! He told me to have you meet with him as soon as you got here!
Leonard: Why didn’t you tell me about this before?!
Felicity: It was a surprise!
Leonard: *smiles and walks to Mr. Jordan Myers office and enters*
Mr. Myers: Good morning, Leonard. *spins his office chair around and stands up* It’s been a while, hasn’t it? *shakes Leonard’s hand*
Leonard: Last time we worked together was at the Ensemble Melody Performance at the Opera Arena.
Mr. Myers: And that was a fine night. Anyways, I have called you in here this morning because I have some news for you.
Leonard: Like good news… or bad news?
Mr. Myers: Would you consider being ‘co-director’ of my next show to be good news or bad news, Leonard?
Leonard: Co-director?! That’s outstanding news!
Mr. Myers: I would have asked a dear friend of mine, Edward Penlora, but he and I have gone in different directions with our careers.
Leonard: You and Edward Penlora used to work together?
Mr. Myers: He actually was like a brother to me. I looked up to him. That is until people started choosing my shows instead of his. He was more depressed than any other man I had ever seen. He rarely slept because of his depression.
Leonard: Oh, my gosh.
Mr. Myers: He was even going mad after his divorce. He didn’t want their child because he was too ‘modern’ for his taste.
Leonard: That’s terrible.
Mr. Myers: No one loved theater more than Edward Penlora. He claimed that he would put on the greatest show in history. Become the new Shakespeare if you will.
Leonard: He really loved theater that much?
Mr. Myers: Saying Edward loved theater is almost like an insult to him. Theater was his job, his life.
Leonard: And I thought you loved theater a bit too much. *scoffs*
Mr. Myers: *looks at the clock on the wall* We can talk about Penlora later. This theater opens in 20 minutes! I need to know if you want to be the co-director or not.
Leonard: Oh, well, of course! I would love to be!
Mr. Myers: That’s the spirit. But do not take this position lightly. Co-director is a very crucial job. I’m quite sure you’ll do just fine though.
Leonard: I’ll do my best.
Mr. Myers: Thank you. Now, please help Felicity finish setting up the place while I call the bank. Supposedly, the power bill hasn’t been paid yet.
Leonard: Ooh, that’s not good.
Mr. Myers: We can’t have the power go out this month. It’ll be like Halloween all over again.
Leonard: And we don’t wanna relive having someone get a skull fracture from a stage light. *exits Mr. Myers’ office and walks towards Felicity*
Felicity: What did Mr. Myers have to say?
Leonard: He just made me co-director of this year’s show! *cheers*
All students: *walk in through entrance doors and sign in*
