Scene: Mark sat on a chair on stage reading a book. Megan and Michelle sat on chairs next to him. John walks on, stands to the side of Mark and hits him on the head with a long cardboard tube (the sort wrapping paper comes on). Every time John hits Mark, Mark says “Ow!”
Mark: Ow! [rubs head]
John: Sorry [hits Mark again]. Oops. Sorry [sighs].
Megan: [over-sincere, like a TV agony aunt] You seem down John. What’s wrong?
John: Lately there’s been this distance between me and God [hits Mark]. I don’t feel I’m walking as closely with him as I used to I don’t know why. I’ve been reading my Bible, and praying, and singing praise songs. [hits Mark].
[Mark puts on a toy yellow builder’s hardhat]
