Party Introductions

Party Introductions

Curtain rises. There are two people on stage; they are nervously pacing back and forth. The first is Dave, and the second is Daisy. Then, there is the noise of a door being rung, and one of them goes stage right.

Dave:(while going to the right) I’ll get it!
Dave goes to the end of the stage and fakes opening a door.


Dave: Hey guys! Come on in!

He makes a wide sweeping gesture inwards, and Dana and Davis enter.

Dana: Hello! (She stars towards Daisy) And who is this?

Dave goes slightly upstage of the two.

Dave: Dana, this is Daisy, Daisy, this is Dana. (The two shake hands)

Davis walks over.

Dave: Sorry about that, Davis, this is Daisy, Daisy, this is Davis. (The two shake hands)

The bell rings again, and this time Daisy goes to the door while the others start some small talk. She does the fake open, and in steps Devin and Derrick.

Daisy: Hey guys, come in and meet everyone!

She guides the two over to Dave, Davis, and Dana.

Daisy: Ok, Derrick, this is Dave, Dave, this is Derrick. (They shake hands). Devin, this is Dana, Dana, this is Devin. (They shake hands). Davis, this is Derrick, Derrick, this is Davis. (They shake hands). Dave, this is Devin, Devin, this is Dave. (They shake hands). Dana, this is Derrick, Derrick, this is Dana. (They shake hands). Davis, this is Devin, Devin, this is Davis. (They shake hands).

Derrick: It is a pleasure to meet you all.

Dana: The pleasure is all ours, I assure you.

The bell rings again, this time Dave goes to the door while the others have small talk. He does the fake open, and in step Don, Dawn, and Dane.


Dana: Hey guys, come on over and join the party.

Don, Dawn, Dave and Dane join the group.

Davis: So, are we expecting more people Dave?

Derrick: Well, I spoke to Damian, but he’s working tonight.

Don: I think Darcy was supposed to come, wasn’t she, Dawn?

Dawn: Remember, Don? She is still in the hospital.

Dane: So that is everyone, right Daisy?

Daisy: I think so Dane.

(The Bell rings, all the guests look at each other blankly).

Don: Whom do you think that is?

Davis: I don’t know, get the door Dave.

(Dave goes to the door as the bell rings again, and he fake opens it. Dan enters holding some boxes)

Dan: Hey, I got some pizzas here for a Mr.… (He hands the boxes to Dave and takes out a small piece of paper from his pocket.) David Debay?

Daisy: (Walks forwards) That’s him, I’ll just pay.

Derrick: (Walks towards the door) Out of curiosity what kind of Pizza did you get?

Dave and Daisy: (They both shrug). Dominos, what else?

Curtain!
