The Dream - Notes for the Director Requirements Cast: 6, but only 1 is necessary onstage. Costume: None. Technical: No special requirements. If you have spotlights, they my be used to enhance certain moments. Set: A single chair. Notes: I almost included this in the skit section because it's so short and simple. The reason I ended up including it here is because it packs a more powerful emotional punch than you think of in a skit in my opinion. In my opinion, all the characters except the voice of God are gender neutral. You'll obviously have to change a lot of "he" to "she" if you make Gabriel a woman, but that's all there is to it. In fact, I've performed this twice and both times Gabriel has been female. The first time we performed this, all but the Narrator and the voice of God were onstage. The second time we performed this, only Gabriel was onstage. All the others were offstage voices. I like both styles. The first is more visually stimulating while the second helps add to the dream-like feeling. There should be a lot more movement than just what I've included, but I wanted to leave that up to you, the director. Do with it what you will. My thoughts: I have had two dreams that I can definitively say came directly from God. One has been included in the essays section. This is the other. I have always known Jesus Christ as my Savior, but have not always made him my lord. There was a period in my life in which I was heavily immersed in pornography. To make a long story short, I tearfully fled from it back into God's loving arms, but unfortunately I can't say that it completely stopped there. Although I was actively seeking God and growing closer, I slipped up now and then for a long while. It was after such a slip that I erased everything from my computer, went up to bed, and cried out to God asking how he could love me after I continued to screw up like that. I knew God loved me with my head, but I couldn't conceive it with my heart. I sincerely cried out and God answered me with this dream that night. It's because of this that this play holds a special significance for me. But I'll admit that this play has received the most tepid reactions of every one of mine that I've performed. It's because this one is aimed at such a select audience, the person who's wondering how God could love such a loser like them. Many people have confessed to me after seeing this play that they simply didn't get it, so I encourage you to be very selective if you choose to put on this particular play. I am the pen.
