Free Two Actor Plays
When working with another actor, it is important to listen to them. Not only is it important to know your cue line (the line that comes before yours) but it makes for a better performance if you react to the other actor's emotions as well. Pay attention to what the other actor is saying, how they say it and the actions they make. Then look closely at your lines and decide how you should react. What would be a logical emotion to have in response? How should you move in response to the other actor's movements? And how should you say your line in reaction to the other actor?

"CROWDFUNDING" SCENE
(A customer, PAT approaches JULES who is a salesperson at a marketing firm)
PAT
I'd like to buy myself a crowd.
PAT
I'd like to buy a crowd. I heard you handle crowdfunding and I need a crowd. You know. like a posse?
JULES
That's not exactly what crowdfunding is.
PAT
I want to look important and if I have a crowd following me around, that will make everyone think there's something special about me.
JULES
I'm afraid that's not exactly what we do.
PAT
When you're growing up, everyone tells you that you're special. Your parents, your teachers, your parole officer.
JULES
Parole officer? Um. maybe I should call someone.
PAT
Yes, call together my team. team Pat. Or maybe I should pick something more dramatic like Team Washington. Makes me sound like I'm a politician or something.
JULES
Are you a politician?
PAT
No, but I need that crowd. You going to help me?
JULES
Well. would these people be your employees? Or would they be a part time posse?
PAT
Part time would work. I'd just like them around at certain key times like school reunions, family gatherings and court dates. I need someone to cheer me on. I need someone who has my back. I need to be supported. I want to feel like I'm important and that I matter.
JULES
Actually, I think that's what most people want.
PAT
Then maybe this is the start of new business. or a revolution! We could rent out the part time posse to other people with low self-esteem like me and help build them up. That will give them a nice little boost at key times in their lives.
JULES
Okay, I see what you're saying. I'm starting to dig this.
PAT
So what do you say? You going to help me fund my crowd?
JULES
Well. I am in this band and we play every Friday night and not many people come. If I could rent them every Friday.
PAT
There you go. crowd. funded. Part time posse plan in motion.
JULES
You just need to fill out this online form.
JULES
On your computer.
PAT
I don't have one.
JULES
Do you have a smart phone?
PAT
I don't trust smart gadgets.
JULES
That explains why you didn't know about crowdfunding. I'll help with the online form then. any other questions before we get started?
PAT
Yeah. I'm curious about those news programs that you can talk to. where you can become the friends of the newscasters? I really like the morning news team on channel 13. I'd love to socialize with them.
JULES
I'm not sure I've heard of that.
PAT
You know. social media.
JULES
Oh! Well. um. let's tackle your crowdfunding first. Then we'll. um. figure out the next one.
PAT
Then you gotta tell me how to keep people from googling me. That sounds creepy.
JULES
All in good time my friend. All in good time.
