Bridge to Reality, Come in Reality

by Bethany Dickens Assaf

10 MINUTE - Delia and Bekah have been running a public-access, call in Star Trek fan show for-literally-ever (yes, it's the 1990s). But something is off with Bekah lately and it's ruining the vibe. Can Delia deal with her so-called friend, save the show, and give their faithful audience the quality TNG content they need for their Friday night?

    Sweet, awkward and a perfectly fun piece for student actors to tackle together.

    There is a very “oof” sensation that plays out on this short comic piece. A familiar pang of unrequited love. The strange moment when you have taken one step closer to the adult you are destined to be. Bethany Dickens Assaf addresses a coming of age dilemma in a bold new way, going where no one has ever gone before… well… local cable access tv of the early to mid 90s. BRIDGE TO REALITY, COME IN REALITY is a funny play with a solid representation of an awkward time in life before the internet allowed 24/7 video access to everyone.

    What a timecapsule! BRIDGE TO REALITY, COME IN REALITY takes us back to the 90s and in the era of Fan Zines and Public Access TV. It is funny and heartbreaking as we watch this friendship (and fandom) tested under the strains of growing up. With an assortment of awful callers, we are reminded of the darker side of fan culture.

    There is so much nostalgia in this play, especially for this Star Trek Nerd. I would love to see it done, homemade replica of the Enterprise Bridge and all!

The call-in voices can be doubled as much as you'd like! It could even be funny with just one person.
