[A man stands center stage, deep in thought trying to think of ideas. ]
man 1: (to the audience) I need an idea.
Hmmm, ah ha, wait no no [light bulb man puts the lightbulb above man1's head but it doesn't turn on] [pause] no. ah no. [blank light bulb is put above man's head again] do hmm. No no no
[ again light bulb is put over the mans head. suddenly the "light bulb man" turns on a light bulb above the first man's head]
man 1: Eureka!!! E=mc^2 relativity it's the new in.
[light bulb then gets turned off. ]
[Enter person 2]
person 2 : Eureka!!! [light bulb man sprints to person 2, drops an apple on person 2's head] gravity, its practically a law [light bulb is turned on over person 2's head]
[Enter person 3]
person 3: the moon [light bulb man sprints over to person 3 and turns on a light] one small step for man one giant step for mankind.
[At this point all the characters start yelling out their quote relatively quickly and during each quote the lightbulb man has to sprint over and turn on a lightbulb over their heads]
man1: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Person 2: Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Man 1: An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind
Person3: A picture is worth a thousand words.
[By now the light bulb man should be out of breath and panting]
[everything stops and goes silent!!! . Person 4 enters with magazine with George Bush's face on the cover]
Person 4: ah I love Bush and his sayings [looks down towards the magazine]. "teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test".
[person 4 taps his foot and gives a look towards the lightbulb man. The lightbulb man gets the cue and runs over to and puts the lightbulb over person 4's head and pretends to but doesn't turn it on.]
Person 4: [Looking at the lightbulb man] Hey what's the deal why won't the light bulb turn on?
Lightbulb man: [shakes the lightbulb a couple times and pretends to try and turn it on over person 4's head but doesn't, then shrugs his shoulders.] well this light bulb is defunct.

this blog is where we'll post play submissions for the 2009 two-minutes play contest as soon as we start receiving them. readers will read and rate the plays, and based on those ratings, we'll narrow down the submissions to a final group. each play must be read by at least three readers.
Almost silly enough to work -- or am I in the minority here?
