ANNOUNCER (can be prerecorded)
SCENE 1
(The stage is simple with a chair and a
backdrop. The backdrop is a large
display with professional looking writing on it saying Seeing Beyond with Maya
Fantasma. The
lights show dimly on the backdrop giving it an eerie appearance. TOM and BECKY are in the audience sitting
near the DR corner of the stage. The
light suddenly gets very bright then a blackout)
ANNOUNCER
(On a recording. The voice is ghostly. Spooky music plays softly in the
background. The whole thing is meant to
be as serious as possible and not all silly.
This is all done in darkness and MAYA enters during this. FELICITY enters and stands near TOM)
Welcome to Seeing Beyond with Maya Fantasma. All you are about to see is real. There are no tricks, no games, no acting
involved. Maya Fantasma
can really speak with the dead.
MAYA
(Lights
slowly come on. She is in her seat,
ready)
Hello, I'm Maya Fantasma. It's a pleasure to be in Falling Rock, New Mexico
(She
stands dramatically)
Let's get started.
(She
goes up to one audience member DL)
I feel drawn here.
Something has brought me to you.
I see someone about your height, though slightly shorter, wishing to
talk to you. He has the same color hair
as you.
(Waves
her hand at audience member)
No, don't interrupt.
Let me finish. I must not disrupt
the connection.
(She
closes her eyes a moment and touches the audience members head)
He died from a blackening of the chest, could be a heart
attack, could be a disease, it's hard to see
(She backs away)
Wait. He wishes to
speak. The dead speak in pictures, so I
must interpret them for you. He says you
always didn't get along but he still loves you. He says he is sorry about the time he put
superglue on the toilet seat.
(Looks
at audience member)
Could this be your brother or cousin or something?
(The
audience member says no most likely)
Maybe your father?
Grandfather? Uncle?
(No positive response. She quickly moves on to another audience
member DC. As she heads to another, she
sees FELICITY near TOM. FELICITY points
at TOM excitedly. MAYA tries to ignore
her and continues)
I sense another presence.
She wishes to speak to you. She
has gray hair and is slightly shorter.
She died peacefully, but you were worried she didn't. She
(FELICITY giggles. MAYA gives her a dirty look. TOM and BECKY don't notice FELICITY)
She wants you to know she is near you always. She watches over your children as well.
FELICITY
Where does she come up with this stuff?
MAYA
(Gives
MAYA a dirty look then moves on)
So many spirits trying to speak
FELICITY
(Jumps
up excitedly and points to TOM)
Me next! Over here!
MAYA
I sense another spirit.
(She
goes L again)
FELICITY
No, this way. Come
on.
MAYA
Someone over here has lost a loved one nearly two years ago
and has come to speak with him. I am
being drawn
FELICITY
That wrong way over here!
MAYA
(To
audience member)
You, you lost a pet recently.
FELICITY
A pet?! Oh come
on. Let's channel some people please.
MAYA
(On
the verge of screaming at FELICITY but controls herself)
Within the last ten years you lost this family pet? Twenty maybe? Thirty?
(Keeps going until she gets a
positive response. If not, go to a
person nearby and try again)
The pet wishes to let you know that she is okay and is
waiting for you.
FELICITY
Maybe if I meow or bark or something
(Waves)
Come on, over here.
MAYA
I must
(Terrified
of FELICITY)
I must, go.
(Returns
to stage)
FELICITY
What are you scared of, lady? Come one.
Do your thing.
MAYA
Excuse me. The
spirits grow to strong. I must break and
meditate.
(Backs
to exit)
I will return in a moment.
FELICITY
She acts like she saw a ghost or something.
(TOM
and BECKY stand)
TOM
(Shakes
head)
That was totally weird.
BECKY
This is ridiculous.
Let's go. She's obviously a fake.
TOM
I don't know. This is
going to sound strange, but I feel like something happened.
FELICITY
You bet it did, buddy.
(Pokes
his arm)
TOM
(Grabs
where FELICITY touched him)
Ah! What was that?
BECKY
(Looks
nervously at audience)
Tom, shhhh People are looking.
TOM
But I felt something poke me.
BECKY
(Looks
through FELICITY)
But there's nobody there.
TOM
I felt it, I really did
BECKY
It's all in your mind.
It's just the power of suggestion. This lady says she's seeing ghosts, you think
you're seeing ghosts too. If she wasn't
convincing she wouldn't be doing shows like this.
FELICITY
Some help she was though.
How am I going to, Hey, Tom. Tom,
can you hear me?
(Pokes
him again)
TOM
It just happened again.
(Looks
around but doesn't see FELICITY)
This time I thought I heard something.
BECKY
Now, you're starting to freak me out. Let's go before I start believing in it too.
TOM
But I swear
FELICITY
Tom? Tom? I wish you could hear me.
(Screams)
Tom?!
TOM
Did you hear that? Sounds like someone
said my name.
BECKY
I'm leaving. Are you
coming?
TOM
Yeah, I getting really creeped
out.
FELICITY
No, wait. Tom! I have to talk to you!
TOM
Okay, grab your purse. Let's go.
FELICITY
Oh, no, you don't.
(Dives
under chair and hides it under an audience members chair)
BECKY
It's gone!
TOM
What?
BECKY
My purse it gone.
TOM
Maybe you left it in the bathroom.
(They exit)
FELICITY
(To audience as she retrieves
purse and places it in BECKY's chair)
Have you ever looked all over the house and tired to find
your purse or your car keys? Then
suddenly you find them in plain sight.
Now you know how this happens.
(MAYA
peeks out, sees FELICITY and disappears again)
That's it. I'm going
to get her back out here.
(Runs up and back to where MAYA
is. FELICITY chases MAYA back out on
stage)
MAYA
Please, no. Leave me
alone.
FELICITY
Look, I came here because I heard you're the best. Everyone tells me if anyone can help me you
can.
MAYA
Please, no. Be gone,
spirit.
FELICITY
The audience is staring.
MAYA
Please, let me off the stage. Don't let them see me like this.
FELICITY
Like what? This is
your chance to shine. Those people want
a ghost. Let's give them one.
MAYA
But I haven't
(Lowers
voice)
I haven't seen a ghost in ten years. I've lost it.
FELICITY
Obviously you haven't.
I'm here aren't I?
MAYA
Yes, yes you are.
FELICITY
Then let's give them what they want.
(Sees
TOM and BECKY returning)
Here they are. Let's
do it.
BECKY
There's my purse.
How did I miss that?
TOM
Sh, honey, the show
BECKY
Let's go. This is terrible.
MAYA
Halt!
BECKY
Halt?
TOM
Are you talking to us?
FELICITY
How perceptive little brother.
MAYA
There is someone here who wishes to speak to you.
BECKY
Look, lady. I'm tired
of the parlor tricks okay. We're leaving.
FELICITY
Tell Tom it's his sister, Felicity.
MAYA
Tom.
TOM
(Stops
BECKY)
She knows my name.
BECKY
She got off our reservations I'm sure.
MAYA
Your sister wishes to speak to you.
TOM
My sister? How does
she know my sister's dead?
BECKY
Lucky guess.
TOM
That's quite a guess.
BECKY
I'm out of here.
FELICITY
Come on, Maya. Say my
name. Don't let them go.
MAYA
Her name is Felicity.
TOM
She's right, Becky.
BECKY
I know she's right.
TOM
Felicity, are you here?
FELICITY
Yes, Tom. I am.
MAYA
She says yes she is.
She says hello to your wife as well.
BECKY
She wouldn't do that.
She hates my guts.
FELICITY
(Same
time as BECKY)
I wouldn't do that. I
hate her guts.
BECKY
She's making it up.
She checked into your family history or something. I'll bet she has a whole team of researchers
who look into people before they come to the show.
TOM
Tell me something only Felicity would know.
FELICITY
Tell him about the time I broke his two front teeth. We were playing cowboys and Indians
MAYA
She says she broke your two front teeth.
TOM
Becky, she's right.
Felicity did. How could Maya Fantasma know that?
MAYA
Dental records.
FELICITY
Oh, I could just kill Becky.
MAYA
She says she wants to kill you.
BECKY
Now that sounds like Felicity.
TOM
So you believe her?
BECKY
No, and I can't believe you do either.
FELICITY
I know.
(To
MAYA)
Tell them that Becky wasn't Tom's first time.
MAYA
Now, this is a family show.
FELICITY
Then tell the kids in the audience to plus their ears.
TOM
What did she say now?
BECKY
Something obscene no doubt.
(FELICITY
sticks her tongue out at BECKY)
TOM
Tell me what she said.
MAYA
She said that Becky wasn't your first time.
BECKY
That's not true.
(TOM
looks sheepish)
Is it Tom? Tom?
TOM
Well,
BECKY
I wasn't?! You lied
to me?!
FELICITY
Oh, this is good.
MAYA
Please, please. I'm
not here to cause problems.
BECKY
All these years I thought I was the only one. What else have you lied to me about?
TOM
Nothing, honest.
FELICITY
Well, there was that time you lost her favorite ring. Remember that one her grandmother gave her
MAYA
I don't think that's going to help, Felicity.
TOM
What did she say?
MAYA
You don't want to know.
BECKY
Something else about me, no doubt.
FELICITY
Bingo! Maybe she
should be a psychic.
BECKY
Okay, time out.
(To
MAYA)
Let's pretend a minute she's really here. What does she want? Did she come here to ruin our marriage?
FELICITY
If only I could
MAYA
Wait. Please come up
on stage. There is much she wants to
tell you.
(Calls
to prop boy)
More chairs please.
(Prop
boy brings out chairs. Looks shyly at
audience)
FELICITY
One for me, too.
MAYA
Bring one for Felicity as well.
(Prop
boy shrugs and does)
FELICITY
(Follows prop boy. She tickles his
ear as he walks. He swats at ear like a
bug is there)
This is fun.
MAYA
(Holds
out her hand and FELICITY runs into her)
Stop!
FELICITY
Wow. How did you do
that?
MAYA
All of you, please sit.
FELICITY
She can touch me. The
other spirits were right. She is good.
MAYA
(To audience)
Let me introduce, Tom and Becky
FELICITY
Clemens.
MAYA
Tom and Becky Clemens.
TOM
She knows our last name.
(BECKY
gives him a dirty look)
I know, I know. From
the reservations.
(Drags
BECKY up)
Come on, this is getting interesting.
(TOM
sits and BECKY stands)
Please. Do this for
me.
(BECKY
finally sits)
FELICITY
Way to go, Tom.
Don't let that idiotic Becky ruin this for us.
TOM
Please, tell me everything she says.
MAYA
She says don't let that idiot
FELICITY
(Hits
MAYA who feels it)
Don't tell her that.
MAYA
Forgive me. There are
some things better left unsaid.
BECKY
(Stands)
I'm not about to sit here and be insulted.
MAYA
I will be sure to filter out the negative vibes.
BECKY
You better or I'll give you a few negative vibes of my own.
(She
sits)
FELICITY
You should have let her go.
She's only going to make this harder.
MAYA
What do you mean?
TOM
What is she saying?
FELICITY
(Gets
serious)
Tell Tom I've come to warm him.
MAYA
She says she has come to warn you.
TOM
Warn me?
BECKY
About what?
FELICITY
(Sounding
ominous)
He's in terrible danger.
MAYA
You're in terrible danger.
TOM
Danger? From what?
FELICITY
From Becky.
MAYA
Oh, be serious, Felicity.
FELICITY
Oh, must I be? This
is so fun.
TOM
What did she say?
BECKY
I can guess.
FELICITY
Seriously, I just came to see how my little brother is
doing.
MAYA
You went to all this trouble just to drop by and say hello!
(Angry)
I can believe this.
This is such a waste of my talent.
I use my talent to bring comfort to people, not torment them.
(Waves
hand at FELICITY)
Spirit, be gone!
TOM
No, wait. I must
talk to her. Don't send her away.
MAYA
She only wishes to cause mischief. Send her away now or suffer the
consequences.
TOM
No, that can't be.
BECKY
Please, Tom, let it go.
MAYA
Away foul spirit.
FELICITY
Foul? You calling me
foul?
TOM
Please, don't go, Felicity.
Please, I must see you.
FELICITY
Oh, Tom. Don't
worry. I'll never leave you.
(She
hugs TOM)
TOM
(Shivers)
Oh, my gosh. What was
that?
(Then
he sees FELICITY. He is dumbfounded)
MAYA
She has left her mark upon you. Now you must remain tied to her forever.
BECKY
Oh, please. Give it
up already. You're just a two bit
fortune teller who should never have taken some acting classes.
MAYA
Fine. I'll go
then. I can see that I'm not
wanted.
BECKY
Good. Don't let the
portal to the spiritual world hit you on the butt.
MAYA
And you can explain to the manager of this fine
establishment why these people won't be getting a show tonight.
BECKY
What?
MAYA
(Stops
and holds her hand to her forehead dramatically)
I predict everyone will demand a full refund and you'll have
pay for it out of your own pocket.
(Exits)
BECKY
The audience wouldn't do that, would they?
FELICITY
(TOM
has been staring at FELICITY)
Tom? Tom, are you
okay?
TOM
Becky?
BECKY
(Pulls
at his sleeve. Forces smile at audience)
Tom? I think we
better go.
TOM
Can you see her?
BECKY
See who?
FELICITY
Tom? Can you see me
now?
BECKY
Are you okay?
TOM
I, I can see her. I can see Felicity.
BECKY
You're scaring me.
Please stop.
TOM
But, I, she's really
FELICITY
It must have been the hug.
TOM
And I can hear her too.
BECKY
I'm sorry, folks. My
husband seems to be going nuts before our very eyes.
TOM
Maybe I am going crazy.
FELICITY
No, Tom. You're
not. I'm really here.
TOM
But how? How can you
be here?
BECKY
Is there a psychologist in the house?
TOM
Becky, I know this seems off the wall, but I'm really seeing
her. She's talking to me and
everything.
BECKY
Is there an exorcist in the house?
FELICITY
I just wanted so badly to see you, Tom. I've been worried about you from the moment
I left.
TOM
Worried about me?
Why?
FELICITY
Because of her.
(Points
at BECKY)
She's the reason I can't move on. She's the reason I
BECKY
Tom, we're leaving this instant. You can come willingly or you can leave in a
little white coat that ties in the back.
TOM
But,
BECKY
Now!
(Drags
TOM out)
FELICITY
This isn't over Becky.
This is far from over.

SCENE 1
(The stage is simple with a chair and a backdrop. The backdrop is a large display with professional looking writing on it saying Seeing Beyond with Maya Fantasma. The lights show dimly on the backdrop giving it an eerie appearance. TOM and BECKY are in the audience sitting near the DR corner of the stage. The light suddenly gets very bright then a blackout)
ANNOUNCER
(On a recording. The voice is ghostly. Spooky music plays softly in the background. The whole thing is meant to be as serious as possible and not all silly. This is all done in darkness and MAYA enters during this. FELICITY enters and stands near TOM)
Welcome to Seeing Beyond with Maya Fantasma. All you are about to see is real. There are no tricks, no games, no acting involved. Maya Fantasma can really speak with the dead.
MAYA
(Lights slowly come on. She is in her seat, ready)
Hello, I'm Maya Fantasma. It's a pleasure to be in Falling Rock,
(She stands dramatically)
Let's get started.
(She goes up to one audience member DL)
I feel drawn here. Something has brought me to you. I see someone about your height, though slightly shorter, wishing to talk to you. He has the same color hair as you.
(Waves her hand at audience member)
No, don't interrupt. Let me finish. I must not disrupt the connection.
(She closes her eyes a moment and touches the audience members head)
He died from a blackening of the chest, could be a heart attack, could be a disease, it's hard to see
(She backs away)
Wait. He wishes to speak. The dead speak in pictures, so I must interpret them for you. He says you always didn't get along but he still loves you. He says he is sorry about the time he put superglue on the toilet seat.
(Looks at audience member)
Could this be your brother or cousin or something?
(The audience member says no most likely)
Maybe your father? Grandfather? Uncle?
(No positive response. She quickly moves on to another audience member DC. As she heads to another, she sees FELICITY near TOM. FELICITY points at TOM excitedly. MAYA tries to ignore her and continues)
I sense another presence. She wishes to speak to you. She has gray hair and is slightly shorter. She died peacefully, but you were worried she didn't. She

She wants you to know she is near you always. She watches over your children as well.
FELICITY
Where does she come up with this stuff?
MAYA
(Gives MAYA a dirty look then moves on)
So many spirits trying to speak
FELICITY
(Jumps up excitedly and points to TOM)
Me next! Over here!
MAYA
I sense another spirit.
(She goes L again)
FELICITY
No, this way. Come on.
MAYA
Someone over here has lost a loved one nearly two years ago and has come to speak with him. I am being drawn
FELICITY
That wrong way over here!
MAYA
(To audience member)
You, you lost a pet recently.
FELICITY
A pet?! Oh come on. Let's channel some people please.
MAYA
(On the verge of screaming at FELICITY but controls herself)
Within the last ten years you lost this family pet? Twenty maybe? Thirty?
(Keeps going until she gets a positive response. If not, go to a person nearby and try again)
The pet wishes to let you know that she is okay and is waiting for you.
FELICITY
Maybe if I meow or bark or something
(Waves)
Come on, over here.
MAYA
I must
(Terrified of FELICITY)
I must, go.
(Returns to stage)
FELICITY
What are you scared of, lady? Come one. Do your thing.
MAYA
Excuse me. The spirits grow to strong. I must break and meditate.
(Backs to exit)
I will return in a moment.

She acts like she saw a ghost or something.

Ah! What was that?
BECKY
(Looks nervously at audience)
Tom, shhhh People are looking.
TOM
But I felt something poke me.
BECKY
(Looks through FELICITY)
But there's nobody there.
TOM
I felt it, I really did
BECKY
It's all in your mind. It's just the power of suggestion. This lady says she's seeing ghosts, you think you're seeing ghosts too. If she wasn't convincing she wouldn't be doing shows like this.
FELICITY
Some help she was though. How am I going to, Hey, Tom. Tom, can you hear me?
(Pokes him again)
TOM
It just happened again.
(Looks around but doesn't see FELICITY)
This time I thought I heard something.
BECKY
Now, you're starting to freak me out. Let's go before I start believing in it too.
TOM
But I swear
FELICITY
Tom? Tom? I wish you could hear me.
(Screams)
Tom?!
TOM
Did you hear that? Sounds like someone
said my name.
BECKY
I'm leaving. Are you coming?
TOM
Yeah, I getting really creeped out.
FELICITY
No, wait. Tom! I have to talk to you!
TOM
Okay, grab your purse. Let's go.
FELICITY
Oh, no, you don't.
(Dives under chair and hides it under an audience members chair)
BECKY
It's gone!
TOM
What?
BECKY
My purse it gone.
TOM
Maybe you left it in the bathroom.
(They exit)
FELICITY
(To audience as she retrieves purse and places it in BECKY's chair)
Have you ever looked all over the house and tired to find your purse or your car keys? Then suddenly you find them in plain sight. Now you know how this happens.
(MAYA peeks out, sees FELICITY and disappears again)
That's it. I'm going to get her back out here.
(Runs up and back to where MAYA is. FELICITY chases MAYA back out on stage)
MAYA
Please, no. Leave me alone.
FELICITY
Look, I came here because I heard you're the best. Everyone tells me if anyone can help me you can.
MAYA
Please, no. Be gone, spirit.
FELICITY
The audience is staring.
MAYA
Please, let me off the stage. Don't let them see me like this.
FELICITY
Like what? This is your chance to shine. Those people want a ghost. Let's give them one.
MAYA
But I haven't
(Lowers voice)
I haven't seen a ghost in ten years. I've lost it.
FELICITY
Obviously you haven't. I'm here aren't I?
MAYA
Yes, yes you are.
FELICITY
Then let's give them what they want.
(Sees TOM and BECKY returning)
Here they are. Let's do it.
BECKY
There's my purse. How did I miss that?
TOM
Sh, honey, the show
BECKY
Let's go. This is terrible.

Yes, Tom. I am.

If only I could

More chairs please.

FELICITY
One for me, too.
MAYA
Bring one for Felicity as well.
(Prop boy shrugs and does)
FELICITY
(Follows prop boy. She tickles his ear as he walks. He swats at ear like a bug is there)
This is fun.
MAYA
(Holds out her hand and FELICITY runs into her)
Stop!
FELICITY
Wow. How did you do that?
MAYA
All of you, please sit.
FELICITY
She can touch me. The other spirits were right. She is good.
MAYA
(To audience)
Let me introduce, Tom and Becky
FELICITY
Clemens.
MAYA
Tom and Becky Clemens.
TOM
She knows our last name.
(BECKY gives him a dirty look)
I know, I know. From the reservations.
(Drags BECKY up)
Come on, this is getting interesting.
(TOM sits and BECKY stands)
Please. Do this for me.
(BECKY finally sits)
FELICITY
Way to go, Tom. Don't let that idiotic Becky ruin this for us.
TOM
Please, tell me everything she says.
MAYA
She says don't let that idiot
FELICITY
(Hits MAYA who feels it)
Don't tell her that.
MAYA
Forgive me. There are some things better left unsaid.
BECKY
(Stands)
I'm not about to sit here and be insulted.
MAYA
I will be sure to filter out the negative vibes.
BECKY
You better or I'll give you a few negative vibes of my own.
(She sits)
FELICITY
You should have let her go. She's only going to make this harder.
MAYA
What do you mean?
TOM
What is she saying?
FELICITY
(Gets serious)
Tell Tom I've come to warm him.
MAYA
She says she has come to warn you.
TOM
Warn me?
BECKY
About what?
FELICITY
(Sounding ominous)
He's in terrible danger.
MAYA
You're in terrible danger.
TOM
Danger? From what?
FELICITY
From Becky.
MAYA
Oh, be serious, Felicity.
FELICITY
Oh, must I be? This is so fun.
TOM
What did she say?
BECKY
I can guess.
FELICITY
Seriously, I just came to see how my little brother is doing.
MAYA
You went to all this trouble just to drop by and say hello!
(Angry)
I can believe this. This is such a waste of my talent. I use my talent to bring comfort to people, not torment them.
(Waves hand at FELICITY)
Spirit, be gone!
TOM
No, wait. I must talk to her. Don't send her away.
MAYA
She only wishes to cause mischief. Send her away now or suffer the consequences.
TOM
No, that can't be.
BECKY
Please, Tom, let it go.
MAYA
Away foul spirit.
FELICITY
Foul? You calling me foul?
TOM
Please, don't go, Felicity. Please, I must see you.
FELICITY
Oh, Tom. Don't worry. I'll never leave you.
(She hugs TOM)
TOM
(Shivers)
Oh, my gosh. What was that?
(Then he sees FELICITY. He is dumbfounded)
MAYA
She has left her mark upon you. Now you must remain tied to her forever.
BECKY
Oh, please. Give it up already. You're just a two bit fortune teller who should never have taken some acting classes.
MAYA
Fine. I'll go then. I can see that I'm not wanted.
BECKY
Good. Don't let the portal to the spiritual world hit you on the butt.
MAYA
And you can explain to the manager of this fine establishment why these people won't be getting a show tonight.
BECKY
What?
MAYA
(Stops and holds her hand to her forehead dramatically)
I predict everyone will demand a full refund and you'll have pay for it out of your own pocket.
(Exits)
BECKY
The audience wouldn't do that, would they?
FELICITY
(TOM has been staring at FELICITY)
Tom? Tom, are you okay?
TOM
Becky?
BECKY
(Pulls at his sleeve. Forces smile at audience)
Tom? I think we better go.
TOM
Can you see her?
BECKY
See who?
FELICITY
Tom? Can you see me now?
BECKY
Are you okay?
TOM
I, I can see her. I can see Felicity.
BECKY
You're scaring me. Please stop.
TOM
But, I, she's really
FELICITY
It must have been the hug.
TOM
And I can hear her too.
BECKY
I'm sorry, folks. My husband seems to be going nuts before our very eyes.
TOM
Maybe I am going crazy.
FELICITY
No, Tom. You're not. I'm really here.
TOM
But how? How can you be here?
BECKY
Is there a psychologist in the house?
TOM
Becky, I know this seems off the wall, but I'm really seeing her. She's talking to me and everything.
BECKY
Is there an exorcist in the house?
FELICITY
I just wanted so badly to see you, Tom. I've been worried about you from the moment I left.
TOM
Worried about me? Why?
FELICITY
Because of her.
(Points at BECKY)
She's the reason I can't move on. She's the reason I
BECKY
Tom, we're leaving this instant. You can come willingly or you can leave in a little white coat that ties in the back.
TOM
But,
BECKY
Now!
(Drags TOM out)
FELICITY
This isn't over Becky. This is far from over.
