SCHOOL DISSEMBLY

             #6 in a series of daily one scene, one-act plays

[ACT I, Scene I, school assembly]

PRINCIPAL: Parents, teachers, school faculty and students of Ronald James Dio High, I regret to inform you that I must call this assembly to an early close. There is a ferret loose in the school, and we fear he may be rabid.

LOCAL REPORTER [stands up]: How do we know he's rabid?

PRINCIPAL: Why else would a ferret enter a school? [gestures toward doors] Ladies, gentlemen, please exit in a calm manner, single file. There isn't much time.

FERRET [ from offstage]: SQEEEEEEEEEEAK!

[all lights out; screams]

[lights return to an empty stage]
