Lights onall faders to pre-show look G-O Pre-show music G-O The audience gathers in301 before the

show. They are invited to write about lost things on cut out stars. The stars are collected in baskets. They are also invited to be interviewed from the ISU notebooks by the cast. After about 20 minutes the rules of the event are explained: CARLOS. Hello! Thanks very much for being here tonight. (Sound fade out G-O) Momentarily we will begin. And when we begin, I invite you to carve out your own experience. Each actor (actors raise your hands) will travel to different desks on this floor. I invite you to choose an actor and follow him or her to a destination. And, once youve spent some time there, choose another destinationwe encourage you to move from desk to desk for a richer experience, but the path for how you do that is your own choosing. Eventually, the actors will leave this space entirelyfollow them. Throughout the show youll notice that at different times the actors will read from their composition notebook. The monologues read from the notebooks have been composed of interviews that the actors have conducted themselves among their community asking one simple question: Have you ever lost anything? Who knows, maybe youll hear a monologue thats from you. Also, this is a game of give and take. If for any reason we need to be where you are well just give you a little pat on the shoulder, like this (Alex, demonstration with audience member all clap) And if we are ever doing anything like this (Alex does the hand jive, some other interesting thing) improve your sightlines like this. (All actor cross to Alex) And, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask the wonderful Casey Peek (wave) or Hanna Supanich-Winter. Ok. Ready? Lets begin (Memory Mix G-O) (Actors begin to go to stations) (Lights fade out G-O) The audience is releasedand their journey begins as they choose which actor to follow to which station. The cast is seated at individual desks piled with books and a lampin the hallway and 301. A chair is in front of each desk. The cast begins a loop of their individual monologues, the monologues theyve collected from ISU and their individual activities. Michele: Saphire, Devon, Mum, Blanket Kayla: Pearl, Parakeet, French Ashlyn: Pet, Ricky, Silver Alex: Englishman & Omar Carlos: Disposeaphobic Owais: Cop, Dan Once theyve finished their loop, they begin againa way to encourage the audience to switch to anothers desk. At four minutes Hanna cues Chris to vamp up and down the hallway Get actors after 10-15 minutes Give Chris standby when Hanna goes to hall to get actors in

(When Carlos is at the doorway cue Chris Wiman to begin) Sound fade out G-O Band vamps until actors get into space Turn master and mic on G-O SONG #1: Hide & Seek Ashlyn. SEEMS TO ME I ALWAYS USED TO PLAY (lightsfade up G-O) HIDE ABD SEEK AND I WOULD WAIT SO PATIENTLY FOR SOMEONE TO COME AND LOOK FOR ME. AND I CANT REMEMBER JUST HOW LONG ID SIT THERE, IVE FORGOTTEN SEEMS I CANT HOLD ON TO ANYTHING AT ALL Carlos. I LOST THE FOURTH GRADE JOURNAL AND THE SWEATSHIRT THAT WAS RUINED Alex.

(During this verse all head to stations in room) SEEMS TO ME I ALWAYS USED TO PLAY HIDE AND SEEK AND I AM SEEKING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHATEVER THERE IS NOW IF I COULD FIND SOME SORT OF MEMORY TO GIVE ME SOME CONNECTION AND I WONDER, WHY IS NO ONE SEEKING ME?

Train sound G-O Faders out G-O

ASHLYN AS PAT. Yep. Oh you wanna hear what it is? Why? Okay-uumuh um tsksksk. I lost my wallet once- just disappeared, you eer done that? I think Ive lost EVERYthing at least once. Like Ive lost my phone once and I dont remember where it left- youre smiling this is so weird. So yes. I think Ive lost

everything- like my keys- Ive lost my keys. Once. And then I realize the importance of it, you know. Then I was like like- (huhuh) okay I need this and I dont wanna BUY it anymore. Soooo.. Im just gonna NOT lose it anymore. It became that simple, right? It was just like a switch (clap) Anyway there ya go. Uh-mmmm I dont know I was really irresponsible when I was younger. And then I just like Wised up one dayyy and I was like oh Im just not gonna lose it anymore I was really irresponsible. So what doyou--- I WANNA KNOW THE CONTEXT OF THE QUESTION (clapping) KAYLA AS GRANDPA. You know its always a funny feeling when you reach for a pen and its not there, right now I wonder where my slide projector is. Oh I know where it should be and its not there. I checked all the places it should be and theyre not there. Ill go see if I can find your grandma, yeah, too bad I cant lose her. YOUNG CARLOS. October 26th, 2001 When my family went to Spain my Dad stayed home. He said, Whatever I find goes in the garbage. So, he found my moms doll. When we got home my mom was crying. I bought her a brand new one, and she still felt bad, but a little bit better. Mom sometimes does that. (NPR sound G-O) INTERVIEW #1 All gather around desk. During the interview, Owais, prep to exit room and make an interruption. TERI. Welcome back. For those of you just joining us, were talking to Dr. Alexander Palinurus, author of Losers Weepers: A Cultural History of Nostalgia. Doctor, before the break, you mentioned Atlantis. PALINURUS. Thats right, Teri. TERI. Which is, what, a continent? PALINURS. Well, Teri, if it was a continenthowd we lose it? TERI. Thats a pretty big thing to lose. PALINURUS. Right. Its not like a toothbrush. Or a little box of cookies. TERI. Now is this a - a myth, Doctor? PALINURUS. Id prefer to call it a literary fiction. Because we have an original source for the story, in the work of Plato TERI. The philosopher. PALINURUS. Yes. Plato, in his Dialogues, told the story of a fantastic island. He says it was bigger than all of Asia Minor, and it lay beyond the Pillars of Herculeswhat we would call today the Straits of Gibraltar. Which would place it in TERI. The Atlantic Ocean. PALINURUS. Right. The so-called Atlantic. TERI. And we call it the Atlantic because PALINURUS. Yes. But what Im fascinated by, Teri, and I crave your indulgence here, but: Plato uses Atlantis for a philosophical argument. Because what do

we know about Platos philosophy? That the things in this world are inferior, theyre shadowy imperfect versions of some kind of idealTERI. Platonic idealPALINURUS. Right. And so there is some kind of ideal, I dunno, Justice-with-acapital-J. But everything on earth that we call justice is kind of an imperfect copy of that. TERI. So how does this take us to a lost continent? PALINURUS. Well, thats what Im saying, Teri. Atlantis didnt get lost. What were talking about is a specific locus for our nostalgia, some lost paradise. The Garden of Eden. In the classical world, its the Golden Age, or Atlantis. Mythic places like this. Xanadu. Shangri-La. TERI. Brigadoon PALINURUS. One of the funny things about Atlantis, though, is many people think it was situated in the Sargasso Sea. KHAN runs in KHAN. Well, I lost my job. I lost all my money. I had nothing left. But you dont want that. Right. Only things. Like I lost a somethingIll think about it. (Exits to outside by Four-Square courts.) ASHLYN AS JEREMY. When I was-um-Im trying to think, 7, maybe 8 at the latest-you know those pound puppy stuffed animals? I had a lot of them, but there was one that was my favorite-and um-we went on a trip to Pittsburgh and we were going around to different places and we stopped at the grocery storeand I got back in the car and realized I lost it. We went back to the grocery store-and I got back in the car and realized I lost it. We went back to the grocery store and asked all the store clerks if they had it but they didnt have it. It was just a trauma. I remember I was just so sad. It was like my treasure, you know? The one thing that I loved the most. Yeah, maybe some other kid found it and it became their favorite thing. (Pause) is that good? (Hanna signals to Owais downstairs.) OWAIS. (From outside.) Hey (All actors go and open a window and then clear for audience) Khan (2) followed directly by Khan (3) KHAN. Well, I lost my job. Oh no it was terrible. Everything was gone. I had nothing left. But you dont want that. Only things. Like I lost something. I will think about it. Well I didnt lose anything. But my friends found a dinette set. Table and chairs. Nice. Wood. We were four guys living in the same apartment and we would all meet once a week to eat together at the table. No, it didnt make us closer. It helped us eat better. We were already good friends. (Khan runs inside) (2 beats) (NPR music G-O)

(Cast closes a window, stage management gets the rest after Lost Horizons)
All gather around Michele/Alexs desk INTERVIEW 2 TERI. Now where is the Sargasso Sea, exactly? PALINURUS. In the Atlantic Ocean. Its not a sea, per se. Its a region of the Atlantic. And would it spook you if I said that it overlaps with the so-called Bermuda Triangle? TERI. Another place where things go missing. PALINURUS. Precisely. And thats the funny thing about the ocean. When you throw something in, you dont generally get it back. And before we had stories about the Bermuda Triangle, we had stories about the Sargasso Sea. But the Sargasso Sea is not a place where things get lost. Its a place where things get found. TERI. Flotsam and jetsam. PALINURUS. Everything. What gets lost in the ocean, well, it turns up there. This was the folk-belief. You read the Captain Nemo, the TERI. Jules Verne. PALINURUS. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, yes, and when the submarine, the Nautilus, takes its tour of Atlantis, first he describes the Sargasso Sea, and how it is full of all this lost stuff. Simply because it is full of seaweed. A type of seaweed that the Portuguese sailors called sargazo. And this seaweed does collect driftwood, cork, things like that. It also, this is one of the big mysteries of the Sargasso Seait collects eels. TERI. Eels. PALINURUS. Yes. Those slippery fellows. Well known to the Japanese gourmet as unagi. TERI. Yum. PALINURUS. My sentiments exactly. Now this is one of those scientific facts that sounds stranger than the myth or the fiction. But every eel in Europe has to swim there to mate. And the baby eels are born. Then they---and this is still a mystery, we dont know howbut then the eel larvae find their way back to Europe. From the Sargasso Sea. TERI. Are those eels nostalgic? PALINURUS. Who can say? But if everything we lose ends up in the Sargasso Sea, maybe the eels are going toyou know, like rummaging around at the Salvation Army. All Actors go center. SONG #2: Lost Horizons Carlos. I WANT TO LIVE IN SHANGRI-LA (bring in faders 2 and 3 G-O) WITHOUT YOU ABOVE THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE SNOW FALLS DOWN I WANT TO SAIL AWAY AND FIND LOST CITIES UNDERNEATH THE OCEAN FLOOR Carlos and Kayla.

Actors begin to exit CW 301 (Fade lights out G-O) Lost Horizons continues accapella as the cast travels outside (Michele stay on 3rd floor, Kayla stay on 2nd floor). All others travel with Alex outside. ALEX AS MITCH. Just something Ive lost? UmAlright, well..It was probably like, a few months before my grandma was dying, uh, before my grandma died, uh we were cleaning out her house because she was moving to an old folks home. And um, we were going through all these pictures she had, and there was this huge, just picture of this mass of people on, um, on the coast of Italy. And the picture was taken from a boat, like leaving Italy going to America, and just in the middle of all these people, like there are so many emotions. Like theres people crying, theres bags everywhere, babies crying, theres people laughing and waving goodbye. And in the middle of it all is my grandfather, holding this bottle of wine up to the sky and just screaming, like, for joy and everything. Its the coolest picture youll ever see. Its inks all run together. And, like, it made me cry like, like you could see how happy and how many emotions people have as they were leaving, this new country, this new life they were going to lead, leave. It was just pretty amazing. And I put the picture, on the table, and, the next thing I know, its just gone. And I asked my mom. I asked my aunt. My grandma, she had dies by the time that we, like that welike, like yanno. It was just lost and sentimental and so I asked my aunt like So you guys have gone through those pictures right?

And she said Yeah, you know, I dont even know what youre talking about. And it was just this amazing photograph that, heh, that I just looked at for a good half hour, forty five minutes I just stared, stared and theres hundreds of people are in and just looked at all their stories, and then it was just gone. MICHELE AS KEVIN. A picture at my grandmas house and when she passed away and and it was a picture of her house a friend had drawn and painted it and it was hanging on the wall of her house and when she died each of us got to take something and I took the painting. We put it in storage because we moved around a lot, me and my dad did, so we probably lost it in a move. Misplaced it or something. KAYLAS PARAKEET STORY. When I was 13, my parakeet Felix flew away from home. I was cleaning his cage--like any good boy should--and he was perfectly content on this makeshift perch I made him on my desk in my bedroom. I left my room for not even 3 minutes to take his cage outside to hose down, and when I came back, he was gone. At first, I thought he was simply hiding playfully in the house, but after a few hours, I realized that I had a bigger issue at hand. My mother still believes that he flew out of my window, and honestly, I'd believe that theory, if there was a bird-sized hole in the window screen... I spent countless hours in the forest behind my house, searching tirelessly for that damn bird, but to no avail. I've given up searching by now--as it's been more than 7 years--but I still hold onto a tiny thread of hope that this poor fellow will someday fly his way back home. But it's more likely that one of the nesting hawks near our neighborhood probably made him their lunch, or dinner, or both. Anyway, I hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else! ALEX AS OMAR (or pre-show interview). One time I uhgot home after being at the mall to buy new shoes my mother gave me money for. She wanted me to get a new pair because I had this pair of ratty old Converse with a white tongue instead of a black one. I wore them so much that they fit perfectly to my foot. And my family hated them because they were ratty old converse that not a lot of people knew aboutnot like Im a hipster or anything. Theyre just shoes. But when I came home from the mall, after confirming to my mom that I bought new shoes, I came home to find that my favorite shoes were gone! My guess is she threw them out indefinitely so I could never find them..Im over the loss of the shoes now. Ive been on trips now to find another pair like them, but never could I find a pair with a white tongue. God she made me so mad! Kayla and Michele come outsideMichele goes to interview spot and Kayla goes to 4-square court for song Alex walks us over to cop area: COP. We get a lot of DOAs. And sometimes theyre badly decomposed. Sometimes theyre partially mummified, if its summer, with the heat. I dont know why this is, but a lot of times old womenand Im not saying anything

but well find old women and theyll be naked! I dont know why this is. Its just, you know, its summertime and its warm. I mean, I do it and Im sure you do too, you walk around with no clothes on. But thats, you know, thats not the way they want to be found. Kayla sings Ella song which leads us over to interview area: IM MAKING BELIEVE THAT YOURE IN MY ARMS THOUGH I KNOW YOURE SO FAR AWAY MAKING BELIEVE IM TALKING TO YOU WISH YOU COULD HEAR WHAT I SAY AND HERE IN THE GLOOM OF MY LONELY ROOM WERE DANCING LIKE WE USED TO DO MAKING BELIEVE IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF DREAMING SO TIL MY DREAMS COME TRUE ILL WHISPER GOODNIGHT, TURN OUT THE LIGHT, AND KISS MY PILLOW MAKING BELIEVE IT S YOU Sound: radio intro musiccue Hanna after audience over to area INTERVIEW #3 TERI. Why dont we take a call. This is Linda, from Wilmington, Delaware. Linda? LINDA. Yes. Hi, Teri, Hi Professor Palinorotz. TERI and PALINURUS. Hello. LINDA. When youre talking about this, uh, psychology, I wonder, does Freud have anything to say about this? And Ill take my answer off the air. TERI. Well, thats a good question. Doctor Palinurus, is there a Freudian Atlantis? PALINURUS. If you want to see those eels as phallic symbols, maybe. (Laugher.) Actually, Im glad the caller asked that. Because of course Freud has something to say about loss. Say you lose something. I dont know. A little box of cookies. Well, Freud says, maybe theres some reason why you lost the cookies. Maybe your mother has told you that you need to lose weight. Or maybe these cookies were a particular favorite of someone you loved very much. And you feel guilty enjoying such cookies when she cant. TERI. Even when we dont know it, our actions make sense. PALINURUS. Yes. But what Id like to ask back is: nostalgia. Literally, in Greek, this means a kind of pain. Algia is pain. And nostos, the Greek word, means home-coming. So nostalgia is the pain you get from going home again. But why do we use this word to refer to thinking about things we lost? Because its not a pain. Its a pleasure. We enjoy this. And one thing you might say, if you like Freud, is: Sometimes we need to lose something before we can enjoy it. Or maybe we enjoy it better. I could say to you, Teri, that I wish I had some cookies now, to dip in my cup of tea. But the cookies taste better in my mind that they would if you gave me cookies. Is that Platonic thinking? Is that Freudian thinking? I dont know. But thats nostalgia. Although Freud doesnt use the word. TERI. Were a long way from Atlantis now.

PALINURUS. Well, actually, funny you should mention it. Do you know how Freud became a scientist? His first job, he received a university grant to do graduate work, to find the testes of the eel. TERI. So there is a connection! PALINURUS. Yes. Their missing testes. Which werent really missingits not like, oh dear, what did I do with my eel gonads. Nobody could find them. The reproduction of the eel is still a mystery. We know where they do itTERI. Atlantis. PALINURUS. Sargasso Sea, yes, but even now, when we think science has solved so much, theres this little bit of mystery. (CARLOS begins his lullaby which hops us to Ashlyn area) Vamos de paseo beep beep beep En un coche nuevo beep beep beep Pero no importa beep beep beep Quiero una torta beep beep beep. ASHLYN AS MICKEY. Uh- how personal? Hah-okay. Um. I had a rosary that was given to me by my grandmother um and she passed away when I wassss sixteen? Um annd I used to always Im not very religious but I guess like the symbol of it was very important to me- so I used to keep it around when I was like not. Feeling great uh and it started to fall apart (and I thought that was this horrible symbol (laughing) of like what I was using it for) uh it was this little Irish rosary with uh it was green and it was made out of uh four leaf clovers uh. Flower things annnd uh each one was- each bead was put on by a family member uh so it had like this really deep history in the family and then my junior year of school I started losing the bits of it- I used to keep it around in bits- and uh then by my senior year um I lost it. BEFORE-sh- Don Juan one night uh fell out of my pocket-hole in my pocket or something- I lost the last bit of it- the, the cross of it annnnd Ive never found it, dont know where it is, and if anybody finds it, please return it to me. Great. (Michele and Kayla start, the rest of the cast join singing as we are led to the COP:) YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE, MY ONLY SUNSHINE YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY YOULL NEVER KNOW DEAR HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU SO PLEASE DONT TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY COP. A lot of times well be called in because the neighbors smell garbage or gas and then well find a body. A lot of times pets will, you know, if a body is left decomposing. Not cats but dogs. And mice and rats- a lot of times when we find a DOA well throw a book at it and youll see the mice and rats run out. Eels too. If we have a DOA thats a floater, a lot of times youll have eels that crawl into the orifices, then you fish the body out and the eels slither out of the body.

Owais takes us upstairs. Ashlyn: begins to walk us upstairsTAPDANCE to 3rd floor hallway (Alex stays below for Ich German and Kat sets up cello outside) We begin to hear Alex singing, all look out to see German song. ICH TRAUMT DU KAMST AN MICH UND SUSSLICH MICH GEGRUSST. DU SAGST, ICH LIEBE DICH UND HERZLICH MICH GEKUSST ABTRAUME SIND NICHT WAR ICH BIN ALLEIN HEUT MORGEN. DU BIST GAR NIMMER DA, MEIN HERZ IST VOLLE SORGEN Cast move back as you invite audience to look outside. Prep for Translation. (Alex finishes the song and begins to head inside.) MICHELE. Translation: I dreamt that you came to me And sweetly looked at me. You said I love you. (cast echos) And kissed me deeply. But dreams are never true I am alone this morning. For you are never there. ALL. My heart is filled with grief. COP. (As he is guiding as to CW 301.) But back with the lost things. Sometimes with organized crime well find a body and itll be missingsomething. Head, fingers, something. And a lot of times thats a sign, a signal. Well find a body in the fields or whatever without a head or hands. Its a signal. And a lot of times- now Ive got nothing against homosexuals or the gay COMMUNITYbut a lot of times in those cases when a homosexual will kill another homosexual, a lot of times the genitals will be missing. And thats a sign too. Thats a signal. In 301 we see Alex watching a clip from the Gay Divorcee on a TV and a ceiling covered with the stars that the audience has written upon at preshow (including stars from other shows). Casey and Kat re-enter, set Kat back up with musicians. After the clip, ALL clap. Carlos crosses over to the TV, turns it off, and begins: CARLOS AS GARY. (Michele grabs light to spotlight monologue As he speaks, Alex lowers TV volume and strikes it) Oh there WAS something I had to tell you! This was the one I was gonna tell you from the start! Ok, this is the one I have. It was when I had a 79 Camero. Well, and I had it for like a year and a half. Then I decide to trade it in. I ordered an 81 Ford Bronco. My Bronco came in, we went out, drank and partied and then I had left it in the parking lot and had a cab take me home. Then the next

morning I went back to the parking lot and I thought, I lost my Camero! I had forgotten that I had bought a new Bronco! We, uh, we ended up, uh, doing aaaaa police report. I kept looking in the parking lot for a Camero, but all we saw was this 81 Ford Bronco. Everyones asking me Hey Gary, wheres your Bronco? and I say, Its not my Bronco, its my Camero! Gary you traded it off and Im likeohIt took me a day and a half to find my car. So we come back, the guy goes We found your car. They had the Camero at the car dealership. OWAIS AS DAN. Uhh yea, like I lose my car keys all the time. But for me when you say lost, the first thing I think of isnt car keys or my wallet but its more of you know, an abstract version of loss in terms of you know loss of friendhips persay or do you understand? I guess being Dapper Dan I dont think of loss in a literal sense but if the question is if Ive lost- then yes, I feel often in my life Ive lost things that I didnt want to lose- there, theres a difference between you know ending things that you dont really want to continue but when its your desire to have things continue on and it doesnt.. thats my feeling of loss its here..Im patting my chest. .. for those of you who are listening. I guess the reason I touched on that was for the most part- you know sure there are like family albums or a blanket you know that your aunt made and those things if they were burned in a fire theyre sort of gone forever but for the most part material items arent what youre really gonna miss if you lose. I can lose my computer and be like Im so fucking pissed I lost my compute, you know, but you can just go to the apple store and buy a new one and be happy again. You know but say someone dies its not quite the same. You dont go to the people store and buy a new person. I know this has been a ramble but my point of loss of people and feelings vs items- you keep asking me about items, I really dont think about items. Have I lost items? Yes but the mourning period for that is not as dramatic or significant or as long as losing intangibles you know. Loss of innocence, people always say that word you know dart word- no not dart word- scratch thatbig talking point: loss of innocence. And the older I get I realize that I see kids playing outside like using their imagination and I really you know understand now why being a kid was a such an important time in your life its never gonna happen again. Thats probably the biggest loss in my life is you know realizing that I reminisce and long for you know days of that sort of childish freedom but its a loss because I know youre never gonna get that back. (Michele sets lamp down, then back up with first word) I lost an xbox game once, if you want an item. SONG #3: Stars Ashlyn and Alex WHEN I LOST MY KEYS YOU TOLD ME THE WORDS OF PLATO (faders in1-3 at full, 4 at 90%) THAT OUR POSESSIONS ARE ONLY SHADOWS ECHOES OF FATE, SO THE THINGS THAT YOU LOSE, YOU NEVER POSSESSED YOURE ONLY REMEMBERING ONLY REMEMBERING Women

AND ALL WE SEE IS STARS FALLING FROM SO FAR AWAY THE THINGS THAT WE SEE ARE JUST MEMORIES OF THE THINGS THAT USED TO BE Ashlyn and Alex SO I KNOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING WE HAVE IS REAL WERE JUST TRYING TO GET BACK TO A PLACE WE KNEW BEFORE SO WHEN I LEAVE YOU YOULL KNOW, IM JUST A SHADOW, AN ECHO YOU NEVER POSSESSED ME NEVER POSSESSED ME All AND ALL WE SEE IS STARS FALLING FROM SO FAR AWAY THE THINGS THAT WE SEE ARE JUST MEMORIES OF THE THINGS THAT USED TO BE Actors shake hands and thank audience for coming, then exit out of 301.
