Set: modest family home
Cast: Mother, Father, Son and assorted extras (teachers. therapists, social workers)
Act 1 - Liberated Liars featuring the songs "Lie when I want To" and "Imagine"
Stage is set to bedroom scene
Boy enters stage left and begins to sing
It's my life and I'll lie if I want,
lie when I want to,
lie when I want to,
you would lie too if it happened to you
Nobody knows why I lie to my Mom
But I do it all the time
Why does she not understand
that it's supposed to be fine
It's my life and I'll lie if I want,
lie when I want to,
lie when I want to,
you would lie too if it happened to you
Then all my stories keep crashing around
But I still refuse to admit
That those who love me are right
lying is no way to win
Mother enters stage right and begins to sing in reply, looking towards the boy lovingly
Imagine you were honest,
it's easy if you try
no lies between us
around us only love
Imagine each moment
living with the truth
They may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join me,
And our family will live as one.
Stay tuned for the songs from the following acts
Act 2 Defiant and Proud
Act 3 - We can be rude too (aka burping and farting on command)

Excellent play! One I'm very familiar with. Oy. Can't wait to read the next scene.
Love it! I may have already seen scene 3!
