Allison - you perform 4thin the talent show.Remember notes fromearlier, turn upstage toslide your dress off yourshoulder while youshimmy/sway. WhenLUCY runs to block you,step down off the stageand pelvic thrust to theright, then fast left whenshe tries to shimmy tocover up. Afterwards,return to the stage andask LUCA "But I thoughtyou wanted some..." Theinnocence of yourcharacter's face/mixedwith this movement ishilarious, When you leavethis rotation, stop andreminisce about your latehusband John at thewishing tree. Take amoment to linger there,

after everone has movedon. Once you are ready tomove on, this reminiscinghas affected your mood.When you enter thesubway station stay at theend of the platform, andsing your song, "Sorry", asyou are thinking abouthim. FRANZ will watch,but from a distance, andyou are not paying himattention at this point.Proceed to the subwaybefore the last stop.

Subway, see lastnote. Get on by laststop, on your way totherapy.

In therapy - you arequite trepidatious, asyou are newly on yourown. However,you've been intherapy circles manytimes in your previoushome (institution), so

you are quitecomfortable withthem, and see themas a new way to makefriends. You wouldlikely clam up whenasked anything aboutJohn or why you arethere. Better to saysomething indirect,such as that you aresorry, and leave it atthat. Audience will

already know from theprogram what youwere charged with.When it comes timefor FRANZ to share,he will ask you out.You are free to rejector accept his offer,although she maythink that it isinappropriate to be hiton in a therapy circleand tell him so.

Anna - Your characterhas a lot on her mindwith the recentpassing of her family.However, she isdetermined to beengaged with theworld and survive it

all. For this reason,you are more likelythan others to interactwith audiencemembers, in terms ofasking them whatstop is coming up, ifthis is an expresstrain, or does it stopat 28th, etc. You aregoing to assist yourUncle WILL with histherapy circle, whichis keeping both of

your grounded.

Once at therapy, youand WILL greet eachother happily, asfamily. You maydecide to co-host thissession with him,helping people witht'ai chi moves as he

instructs. If youshare in therapy, trynot to reveal directlyor too on-the-nosewhat recentlyhappened, as it is stilltoo raw. Rather, talkin more vague terms,focusing on yourfeelings or specificssuch as what it's likewhen you first wakeup and realize this allhappened, it's not

just a dream.

At the amusementpark, you aredetermined to have agood time. You usedto come to thisamusement park withyour family everyyear, so you are herein their honor. It isdifficult being therealone, but you aredetermined to do it.

Yourpanic should mount asyou go fromenvironment toenvironment in searchof CHARLIE, oranyone who looksfamiliar, but you can'tfind anyone.

You are very familiarwith therapy circlesand feel right athome there, so muchso that you likely willgo into the centerand fall asleep, asthis is a safe place.You may also be veryinterested in theanimals at the petadoption center, asyou are capable ofcommunicating withthem.

You've never been ona subway. It may bedifficult for you tolearn this whole newthing. How the doorswork, the seats, thedirection, thewindows, the voicescoming fromoverhead. You're notsure what this thing isat all. Is it a livingroom that rocks?Where is the tv orsnacks?

You may needto look on yourdirections.

At therapy, althoughvery awkward, youwould try toparticipate, for youroverall goal of beingthere. Feel free totake your time ifasked a question.Frank would not allowhimself to be rushed,although he may sayvery little (and feelit's a lot).

You have agreed tohelp a family memberwho owns theamusement park toman the ice creamstand. It is unlikelythat this is your usual

job, although you mayenjoy the

Afterwards,leave the stage andtake a seat with nofurther information.When ALLISONperforms, you will

jump to your feel andshout inencouragement. Youdecide to follow her toher next location, asshe interests you.When she stops at thewishing tree, youshould move along tothe subway, notwanting to arousesuspicion. Wait on theplatform, and watchfor her at a distance.

On the subwayplatform, watchALLISON sing at adistance, tellingothers to be quiet ifthey are a nuisance.Follow her on thesubway, but again,keeping your cool.Now is not the righttime to approach,however, you do tryto impress her withyour comedy routine,which you like to tryout on the wubway toget a feel of what

jokes work best.

When you get to thetherapy circle, whichyou have come toonly to followALLISON, DO NOTshare your storyabout the walrus. Itis best if you keepthat story a mystery,otherwise the joke willbecome overdone.You are watchingAllison, and interestedin her. If prompted toshare in group, youmay use thisopportunity to ask herout, not recognizingthat a therapy circle isan awkward place forromance. If she turnsyou down, feel free toask another womanout (even from theaudience) to saveface. Franz would notlet it show that he ishurt by rejection.

Itis likely that you areauditioning in a helpto raise money for thecommunity center,which you know ourfriend George worksat; and possibly to getover your feeling ofloneliness from Ellie'sabsence.

At the amusementpark, you see yourold friend GEORGE.You are serving icecream, as a means tosocialize in yourretirement. The twoof you reminisceabout the days when

terribly as he's agood friend. Butmaybe he rememberssomething wrong,and he's convincedthat you're wrong. Ifhe storms off, youcan't follow him, asyou must man yourpost at the ice creamstand.

In therapy, you arebothered by yourrecent fight withGeorge. The wholething has made youfeel dark and cynicalabout life. You canreveal or concealwhatever you want,but we should see amarked shift in mood.You will had to pullyourself out of this tocomplete yourcharacter arc.

Do not giveaway to the audiencethat they areauditioning yet, justask if this is your nextgroup. Graciouslythank everyone forhelping to aussportyour father'scharitable foundationthrough theseauditions. Then letLUCA take over bycalling out contestantsnumbers. You will

jump up to blockALLISON's risquperformance. You willleave after theDesiderata is read, asyou are a guide, andmust get to the next

Once at theamusement park, youare quite nervousabout how yourfather will receive thenews of how you ranthe talent show. Youare waiting for hisphone call the entiretime you're there.You pace. You decidenot to have ice cream(your diet). You haveyour future read. Youare too nervous toride the ride (you getin line, but chickenout). Eventually hedoesn't call. You getnervous and decide togo to therapy to calmyour nerves.

In therapy, you canreveal or conceal asmuch as you want.Lucy is always awarethat her father mayhave someonewatching her, so shespeaks ina somewhatguarded way. Shemay ask people if theyknow who her fatheris, just to test theirreaction. She actswith dignity and herhead held high, nomatter what.

Madalynne is taking aday for herself, tryingnew things. Everyplace she goes todayis somewhere she hasnever been. It is aday for adventure!She is not afraid tospend time with

herself, and considerseach new adventuresomething she maywrite about. She is apeople-watcher andtakes this time toreally soak people in.

In therapy, Madalynneis willing to share,although she is verydiscreet and dignified,and not likely to causeany scene. Again, sheconsiders this a greatspace to study othercharacters, all whommay appear in futurenovels.

Guide

You will be the secondguide to to get yourgroup to join thetherapy circle, alreadyin session. You have

likely been asked byGEORGE to bring thenext group in, but youare more concernedwith getting this thingover with so that youand Ashley can try totalk things through.You can't help butnotice ANA LUCIA,who's pretty cute.

After therapy youcheck your cell to see

if Ashley has called.She hasn't. Thisangers you, so youfollow Ana Luciainstead. Who knows,maybe this could be afun little dalliance,nothing serious.

You have no ideawhere ANA LUCIA isgoing, but you'regame to go into thetalent show to followher. If she stops bythe wishing tree, youhang back, as you arerelatively smooth.

You are pleased whenshe is called to stage,as you wouldn't mindseeing her put on alittle show. You arenot expecting whatshe says at all. Whenshe calls you out, ashard as it is, youdecide to take it. Thetruth is, you wantAshley back, and ifthat means you haveto change, you are

willing to change.
