Dreaming.

Caitlin walks on to the stage and lays down on the couch. Exhausted, she falls asleep. A ukelele playing a cheery tune is heard. John rises from behind the couch, playing ukelele in a horse mask. Caitlin wakes up and looks and John, the audience, then back at John.
Caitlin
Huh. John?
       John gives a little bow to Caitlin.

I have to be dreaming.
       John shrugs.

You don't play the ukelele.
       John walks out from behind the couch as Megan and Matt enter. Megan goes downstage corner right, Matt downstage corner left. John motions Caitlin to come with him. The two walk downstage center.


Caitlin
John.. what's going on?
       Matt and Megan say their lines together, voices overlapping. They can be read off a paper if need be. Or improvised. They're speaking to the audience. 

Matt
Where am I?
If I'm onstage and the audience is watching me but I'm watching the audience then why is there a stage?
Megan
Who are you?
Where is this going?
What time is it?
       pause.

Caitlin
Hi?
Matt
Hey, how are you?
No, I'm fine.
I do hope you got here alright.
Megan
Oh, hello!
Are you sure you don't want to sit down?
It's nice to meet you.
       Caitlin takes the mask off of John, who's wearing swimming goggles underneath. Caitlin
What's going on?
John
Your thoughts are echoing.


no idea where this goes. But I know it could be really good.
-John.
