The committee meets and are unable to agree on anything. Do they take roll? Was that a motion? How long will it take Sidney to quit? Again? Who’s the secretary? Maybe Livy, the newest member will be able to sort things out for the next meeting.
The play is written for the five characters to be played by two actors. The actors should use costume devices — wigs, glasses, hats, scarves, canes, etc, as well as distinctive accents and
physical mannerisms, to indicate when they are changing characters. This is part of the fun! However, if you have five actors, then use all of them.
This play is part of the series, Senior Moments.
