LAURA: Hey Lord.

GOD: Hi, Laura. A good day.

LAURA: Yeah..one of the best.

GOD: I’m glad you stopped to talk. I’ve been meaning to tell you something.

LAURA: Sure.

GOD: It’s so hard to talk to people when they don’t stop to talk, you know.

LAURA: Gotcha.

GOD: The dances this weekend….

LAURA: Yeah?

GOD: Great. …the campers, the counselors…all dancing together. I gotta tell you, I really like dance.

LAURA: Thanks, Lord.

GOD: No, I mean I REALLY like dance. It’s one of the most beautiful things I ever created.

LAURA: I think so, too.

GOD: I can tell.

LAURA: Really?

GOD: Yeah…when I watch you dance.

LAURA: Thanks. (a beat) I’m sorry. This is embarrassing.

GOD: Get used to it. I’m God. I can do that. Remember when you began?

LAURA: Dancing?

GOD: Yeah.

LAURA: I remember. All arms and legs and all I could think about was ….

GOD: …was how you looked.

LAURA: Yeah.

GOD: But it’s not like that now.

LAURA: I know.

GOD: At camp…when I watch you dance at college…you’re doing all the right steps, but sometimes…..many times…you’re not thinking about yourself.

LAURA: (a beat, then) I’m thinking about you.

GOD: And when you do…when you perform and you think about me…well, it’s the most beautiful show in the world. Hey…I’ve got a surprise for you.

LAURA: What?

GOD: Listen to this…..(pick out a song from Les Miz (or anything else you choose…find it and give it to the sound people…it begins playing)

LAURA: Oh my gosh…I love that song.

GOD: Me too.

LAURA: But….

GOD: Dance…dance it for me, Laura. Dance it for God….Go ahead….and make it a prayer.

(at the end of the song) GOD: Amen.
