4 AM (Is anybody out there?) The Play Review

        This story is about a radio DJ named Frankie who goes on a "magic moon hour" broadcasting live at AM 777.7 when the world is asleep and there are a bunch of teenagers who were in the mid-teens (freshmen to sophomore year of high school, probably 2/3 of underclassmen - perhaps 14-16 year olds). Ellie and Jack, having a dream dinner. Romeo and Juliet, teen star-crossed lovers were talking on the smartphones separately in their own bedrooms. Anne and Monica were long-time BFFs since kindergarten - Anne interrupted Monica's sleep in scrutinization. Sleeper girl was very afraid of the nightmares so she can check out to see if there were monsters under the bed. A puppet kid with a puppet is doing the Counting Stars part - one is the poem and the other is the song, remember that from last post. Jim and Sarah were the runner-ups in cutest couple to Preston and Kaylee. And why did Sarah hold that big teddy bear like magic in my mind? Simon and Hale look for some music, but they discussed some veggies. Mazie is that crazy teen who looks so pathetic like me and John showed up. A fire kid gets ready for yet another firefighting business. When the sleeper kid showed up to the police officers, she showed them a monster who's under a bed and the officers got away. When Frankie "retire and wait for that next magic moon", everyone else all appeared.

        What a weird play I read. Perhaps, I shall adapt the play into the movie from Buena Vista Studios. It got me into more thinking about the Rugrats show I grew up with, but now 10 years later, it reminded and inspired me of the millennial generation I am part of. What it's like: Charlie Brown HS 2010s Style. It's really somewhat okay. Plus, at the end of the play, you'll walk off, remembering on what matters the most with Frankie saying, "Sweet fears... and sweet dreams." Well, maybe, in fact, I like the play. It's really short with pages in it but it says 86 minutes which is the full-length of the play. No thumbs, just 4 out of 5 stars.
