Acting Philosophical

A short written by Kenneth Dale

Cast:

Philosopher

[LIGHTS UP.]

[We see a Philosopher (either a man or a woman, gender is irrelevant) standing in on an empty stage lit only by a single spotlight. The Philosopher is partly speaking to the audience, but also partly simply musing to him or herself, and is free to move about the stage as they feel it is appropriate. After a few moments of silence, the Philosopher suddenly breaks the tension:]

Philosopher: What is “acting”? [A beat] Isn’t it really just lying? Don’t we all lie every day of our lives? I mean, when you’re at the office and your boss Tim comes down the hall and smacks you on the arm and says “Hey there, Jim-bo,” don’t you force smile and a laugh and call him “Tim-bo” even though you know your name is Bob, and hell, you know that he knows you name is Bob? Isn’t that acting? Or is there something more that distinguishes between every other schmuck on this planet and an “actor”? I guess the real difference is the motive behind the lie; an actor lies out of a love for the lie. He, or she, lies not to gain anything for themselves, in fact, being an actor takes more out of a person than it gives to them, but rather, they lie for the benefit of others. There is one other factor that really separates acting from base lying; an audience knows that the actors are lying. They choose to believe the lie for the sake of entertainment. So then, an actor is an actor not because he or she acts, but because those being lied to choose to believe the lie. Therefore, no one can choose to be an actor, they must be appointed to that office.

BLACKOUT.

The End
