Team Song – ‘I Still Believe’ – Russ Taff

Stage Setting Specials Leading: Moses Backing: Fran, Nick 1st lines of the lyrics: I've been in a cave for 40 days Only a spark to light my way I want to give out, I want to give in This is our crime, this is our sin last lines of the lyrics Like this, in places like this We need all the hope that we can get I believe, I believe Through the shame and the grief Through the heartache, through the tears Through the waiting and all the years I still believe I must believe

Drama – ‘When Life doesn’t turn out like you planned’ – Jamie Devine

Stage Setting Specials Props Key: Scene 1:desk, 2 chairs, office setting. Scene 2; couch, home setting Dramatists: Bok, Johanna, Tama, Jess 1st lines of the script: -Scene 1 Manager: “John, thanks for coming to see me.” John: “No worries.” Manager: “Take a seat.” John: (Sits down in chair opposite the manager). Manager: “So,” (he pauses thinking of something to say). “Been busy today?” Last lines of the script: Mary: “Dad! You know how you helped me with my homework last night? Well my teacher still only gave me a B for it!” (she says, almost blaming him for it). Jane: (Gets up and puts her arm around her daughter). “It’s ok dear, that still a good mark.” John: (Looks at her sadly not knowing what to say). Jane: (Realises she’s forgotten her husband). “Oh sorry dear, how was your day?” John: (Puts his head down and covers his face with his hands). End scene

After Drama CD Interlude Stage cleared dancers on in tableau during multimedia Special Lighting needed for both scenes please There are 2 scenes to this one. I suggest the lights be dimmed on the 2nd scene while the first is acted, and vice versa. Scene 1 - Manager of a business sitting behind a desk, about to tell his employee - John, how well he did in the interview for a promotion. The manager is someone who cares more about running the business rather than his employees. Scene 2 - John’s wife - Jane, is at home sitting on the couch reading a magazine. He walks in still sad, but not wanting to say anything about the job straight away. He sits down on the couch.
