(The audience enters in the theatre to discover a stage bare of curtains.
At stage left looms a metal sculpture intended to represent: [a] a totem
pole/Christmas tree that stands in an abandoned lot, [b] a wood burning
stove with a snaky chimney that is at the center of MARK and ROGERs
loft apartment, and [c] in Act II, a church steeple. On stage the
five-musician band performs under a wooden platform surrounded by
railing. The wooden platform has a staircase on the upstage side.
Downstage left is a black, waist-high rail fence. Once the audience is in
the theatre, CREW and BAND MEMBERS move about informally
onstage in preparation for Act I).
ROGER DAVIS, carrying an electric guitar, enters upstage left and
crosses to a guitar amp sitting on a chair at center stage. He casually
plugs his guitar into the amp and adjusts levels, then crosses downstage
and sits on the table.
After a few chords, the COMPANY, led by MARK COHEN, enters from
all directions and fills the stage. MARK sets up a small tripod and a
16mm movie camera downstage center, aimed upstage. He addresses the
audience.)
"INTRO"
MARK
We begin on Christmas Eve with me, Mark, and my roommate, Roger. We
live in an industrial loft on the corner of 11th street and Avenue B, the top
floor of what was once a music publishing factory. Old rock n roll posters
hang on the walls. They have Rogers picture advertising gigs at CBGBs and
the Pyramid Club. We have an illegal wood burning stove; its exhaust pipe
crawls up to a skylight. All of our electrical appliances are plugged into one
thick extension cord which snakes its way out a window. Outside, a small tent
city has sprung up in the lot next to our building. Inside, we are freezing
because we have no heat.
(He turns the camera to ROGER)
Smile!
"TUNE UP #1"
MARK

ROGER

MARK
The phone rings.
ROGER

MARK

(An actor places a telephone on a chair and we see MARKS MOM in a
special light.)
"VOICE MAIL #1"
ROGER & MARKS OUTGOING MESSAGE
"Speak" ... ("Beeeep!")
MOM
That was a very loud beep
I dont even know if this is working
Mark -- Mark -- are you there
Are you screening your calls --

We wanted to call and say we love you
And well miss you tomorrow

Oh, I hope you like the hot plate

When you leave the house
Oh, and Mark
Were sorry to hear that Maureen dumped you
I say cest la vie

(Lights fade on MOM and answering machine.)

ROGER & MARKS ANSWERING MACHINE
"Speak" ... ("Beeeep!")
(Lights fade up on the street: the front-door area of MARK and ROGERs
building. Nearby is a battered public pay phone. TOM COLLINS stands
at the phone.)
COLLINS
"Chestnuts roasting -"
ROGER & MARK
(as MARK picks up the phone)
Collins!
COLLINS
Im downstairs
MARK
Hey!
COLLINS
Roger picked up the phone?
MARK
No, its me
COLLINS
Throw down the key
(MARK pulls out a small leather pouch and drops it off the apron
downstage center as if from a window; a weighted leather pouch plops
down from "upstairs." COLLINS catches it.)
MARK
A wild night is now pre-ordained
(Two THUGS appear from above, with clubs. They are obviously close to
attacking COLLINS, who says back into the phone...)
COLLINS
I may be detained
(THUGS mime beating and kicking COLLINS, who falls to the ground as
lights on him fade)
MARK
What does he mean...?
(Phone rings again)
What do you mean "detained"?
(Lights come up on BENNY, whos on a cellular phone.)
BENNY
Ho ho ho
MARK & ROGER
