Marcia Savin
10 minute comedy
2 men, 3 women, 1 either

A juggling act of ringing phones and competing demands!
Agnes answers one call and suddenly everyone in her life needs her: friends, family, and even her mechanic, each convinced their situation can’t wait. As hold buttons click on and off, a lost cat sparks panic, a sibling unravels, and a long-ago acquaintance resurfaces from Venice at exactly the wrong moment. Each conversation inches forward while everything else pauses, creating a lively tangle of half-heard updates and missed opportunities. By the time Agnes finally decides which call matters most, she’s learned that timing, like technology, has a sense of humor all its own.
