This sketch takes a bit of rehearsing, with someone who is quite familiar and adept with a tape recorder. The recorded speeches must be taped properly and be played back at the right places within the action.

The Person (make or female) is generally intimidated by the Group until the end - head bowed, shoulders stooped, etc.

The Group, as indicated, comes directly from the audience. It can be made up of men and/or women and can be of any size. It is probably best, however, to keep the number at about six for movement and choral speaking purposes.

A person stands in front of the altar, hands folded; opens mouth to speak, but says nothing out loud. Thoughts come out on tape.

Tape: What’s the point of all this? I’m in a nowhere job; I can’t accomplish anything. What am I going to do with my life?…
