Fulfillment Center

by Jeanette Farr

It's Christmas Eve morning and two fulfillment center workers need to meet their goals so that all the little girls and boys can have their holiday wishes fulfilled. Mimi would rather climb mountains instead of shelves but Alex, fueled by energy drinks has different ideas.

    In all the convenience with companies like Amazon, we forget, or ignore, the people on the other end of the process. FULFILLMENT CENTER is a wonderful short play that brings the humanity back to productivity. I really like that it was set at Christmas time as well, drives home the "stuff as happiness" theme as a contrast to togetherness and being connected to people.

    This has to be one of the more ironic play titles I've met with thus far. What starts out as a sardonic, black comedy involving consumerism takes a very poignant turn. We meet two workers whose job is to fulfill Christmas dreams - think Santa's elves. But one "elf" (Mimi) is literally at the end of her rope and the other "elf" Alex becomes her cheerleader and ultimately her savior. This would be a grand addition to holiday-themed festivals. Bonus: you'll think before you order more "stuff."
