(CURTAIN OPENS.)
ACT ONE
There is another story to tell, and the stage is excited. The CURTAINS open. ACTIUS is in center stage.
ACTIUS: Why am I in a play?
ACTIUS walks to stage right, then back to center stage.
ACTIUS: I’m a costume designer. I go to thrift stores and use sewing machines. I certainly don't read lines. Here, look.
ACTIUS throws the script they are holding to the ground. Despite this, their next words are still exactly the same as the ones written in the script. The papers are not stapled together.
ACTIUS: See? I’m just talking. I’m not an actor, I shouldn’t be in this play, and I would like to go backstage so I can finish this costume. It’s important.
One of the CURTAINS closes. The other stays open. ACTIUS walks behind the closed curtain. The closed curtain opens again, revealing NECTUS. Only NECTUS can be seen on stage.
NECTUS: I don't remember my lines.
NECTUS picks up the script that ACTIUS dropped. The pages are in the wrong order.
NECTUS: I think the title of this play is Curtain Opens. Otherwise that stage direction is given twice, which is weird.
YOU think that NECTUS is wrong. YOU think the play has a different title. YOU do not tell NECTUS what you think.
NECTUS: My name is Nectus. I do high school theater. There’s a play coming up, and I came here tonight to practice getting over stage fright. I cannot leave.
The left CURTAIN closes. Nectus looks at it, then turns back to the audience.
NECTUS: I didn’t know I couldn’t leave until I read that. I’m a bit nervous now.
NECTUS tugs on the closed CURTAIN. It doesn’t budge.
NECTUS: This is an arts school, so there’s always plenty of people working on the play of the semester. Only stagehands can move props, because otherwise people bump into each other trying to change the scenes. This play doesn’t have any props, though. I don't think it even has costumes.

ACT TWO
ACTIUS enters the stage again, looks at NECTUS, and leaves. ACTIUS returns shortly with a plastic crown, and places it on the head of NECTUS.
ACTIUS: You’re one of the actors, aren’t you.
NECTUS: I am! You’re one of the backstage people, right? I’ve seen you around. You make costumes. Is this a costume? For this play?
ACTIUS: I’m not an actor, and since you are, I figured you’d need a costume. Congrats. You’ve been crowned as an actor.
NECTUS: Did you write this play? Because the script says I can’t leave. The crown is cool and all, but I’d like to be able to leave.
ACTIUS: I didn’t write the play, and I guess I’m as trapped here as you are. I was working on your costume for the actual play, but the sewing machines are just props now, so I can’t get any work done.
NECTUS: Wait, we can go backstage? Maybe there’s a way out! I made plans with someone that I don't want to miss.
NECTUS: I didn’t mean to say someone. I meant to say someone.
ACTIUS: Stop reading off of the script, and you’ll say what you mean to say.
NECTUS: Reading the script is what I do. I’m an actor.
ACTIUS: Well, I’m not. You keep the play going here, I’ll look for an exit backstage.
ACTIUS exits the stage. NECTUS sits down and begins talking about pokemon. This part of the play is improvised, and is not in the script.
NECTUS: …means that none of the lions would survive the black hole, and I’ve proved that some of the pokemon would, so the pokemon would win. That’s all there is to it.
YOU disagree with NECTUS. YOU are wrong. ACTIUS runs back on stage, holding a dark black robe, and dressed in dark blues.

ACT THREE
ACTIUS: I think I love you.
NECTUS: The script doesn’t have that line in it. Maybe that means there really is an exit?
ACTIUS: I knew the moment I saw you. You were a shining star, and I wanted to feel your light.
NECTUS: The script just had you say that you love me. I prefer your costume plan, though. This is a time for escaping, not awkward love scenes.
YOU want to see what the script really says, but you can’t from your seat in the audience. YOU reading this in the future will want to see what was actually said, but you can’t from seat on the other side of a screen.
ACTIUS: Does it say what I’m saying now?
NECTUS: Yes, it does. I think it was just trying to get us to the part it wanted.
The stage: It was. Why won’t you read your lines?
ACTIUS: Because I’m not an actor.

ACT FOUR
The stage: Falling in love is art. It’s beauty. It’s a play worth watching.
ACTIUS: This story isn’t about falling in love. What we’re doing here is overcoming.
NECTUS begins to sing.
ACTIUS puts on the robe, becoming a stagehand. They force open the left CURTAIN. ACTIUS and NECTUS both bow as NECTUS continues to sing. ACTIUS closes the CURTAINS, despite their struggle to remain open. ACTIUS bows, salutes the curtains, and takes a seat in the audience. NECTUS walks in front of the curtains, no longer singing, and steps off the stage. NECTUS joins ACTIUS and they both walk out of the theater.

ACT FIVE
The stage walks out. YOU are following the stage, because you do not know where to go. The stage does not know where to go either. Its plan has failed. It was hoping for something original. YOU think that the play was a bit sweet. YOU might be willing to watch it again, if it wasn’t a one time thing.
