Section A: Pitch
Mark Twain’s play The Diaries of Adam and Eve, which is adapted for the stage by David Birney, inspired me. The stimulus was “How the World was Made” and The Diaries of Adam and Eve instantly came to mind. The play would be set in a clearing in a forest preferably with some trees around. It would be like an Environmental theater but it will take place outside. There would be blankets on the floor for the audience to sit on. The back of the set would be cleared so that there can be a curtain for the actors and sound system. The play would take place during the night and the lights would be set up off to the sides so that the audience can see the play clearly. The spotlight will focus over the actor when either Adam or Eve are talking and the lights will be dimmed to show the actions of the other actor while one is speaking. The costumes for Adam at first would be no shirts and lightweight white pants. Eve would wear a costume covered in leaves and a shawl. The animals should wear something according to whatever animal they are for the audience to distinguish between them. The props, such as, white garden benches, tree with apples, 2 baskets, some baby dolls, and a kiddie pool to indicate a pond will come out when they are needed.
