the set upstage center layer on layer of red brick one door with screens three steps in faux cement bay windows on either side action stage right a young girl dances in rain wearing a fake leopard-skin leotard action stage left a man builds a garage from a cardboard box plan wooden boards the color of brick action center stage a young boy aged ten poses proudly in cub scout uniform a woman snaps a pic downstage center a man plants a tree near the road he waters the tree he mows the lawn stage left a 1950 Olds cutout sits in the driveway in the pit the concrete street has no sidewalk a woman rides a bike pedaling in rhythm she waves at the neighbors the boy grows up this is his fake house they are his fake family he waits for his curtain call
