Act 1
PRICILLA IN PUMPKINVILLE USA
ACT I
The scene takes place in the kitchen of Pricilla’s home. There is a table with 4 chairs. On the table sits a large carved out pumpkin with a lit candle inside. There is a telephone on a wall and a a notebook with a pencil on the kitchen tab
Enters a little girl about 9 years old wearing a tee shirt and jeans. She stomps towards front and center stage. She glares at the audience with great hostility while tapping the floor with her foot. Very slowly she turns towards the direction she. Had entered.
PRICILLA (angrily shouting)
Well I don’t see why I can’t go out trick or treating tonight. You’re letting Millicent and Mikey go. That’s not fair.
MOTHER’S VOICE (off stage)
You are on punishment, they are not.
PRICILLA (talking to herself)
Oh man. Punishment, what did I do? I didn’t do nuffin.
(shouting voice)
But mom, I didn’t do nuffin, why are you punishing me again?, besides it’s a holiday, its, its Halloween. [pause] All my friends are going out. [pause] Huh mom, please can I go?
MOTHER’S VOICE
Pricilla no. Punishment does not take a holiday.
PRICILLA (in a whining voice)
But mom I didn’t do nuffin.
MOTHER’S VOICE
Pricilla, for one you took bubble gum and candy out of Mister Lee’s store without paying for it and that is stealing.
PRICILLA [going into her over-stuffed pockets. Candy and bubble gum falling to the floor. She bends down to pick them up, unwrapping a piece of candy she puts it in her mouth and tried to speak.]
I did not (mumbled)
MOTHER’S VOICE
What are you saying? English please.
PRICILLA [removing the piece of candy]
I told you I didn’t do it, it wasn’t me. Mister Lee is always telling stories on people. It was mistaken identity. [trading the candy for bubble gum]
MOTHER’S VOICE
Pricilla, he said he seen you when you did it. He was standing there looking right at you.
PRICILLA
[now blowing a bubble]
Who are you gonna believe, some old fuddy-duddy who can hardly see or your own daughter?
MOTHER’S VOICE
Pricilla that is not all. This morning when you went to the store for Mrs Green, she said she left you alone in the kitchen, well when you left so did her ring.
PRICILLA [digging deep into her jeans pocket. She pulls out a rather large ring and puts it on her finger. Holding out her hand she ires the ring.]
Did she tell you that she was washing the dishes? Maybe it went down the drain with the dish water. I bet it did.
MOTHER’S VOICE [sounding very tired]
Yes Pricilla, Maybe it did.
PRICILLA
[with a smirk on her face she turns to address the audience.]
Don’t you just hate old people? Don’t they just get on your last nerve. You’re on a bus and you’re in a hurry to go somewhere and the bus driver stops for some old lady like that lying Ms. Green. And she takes 2 whole hours to get on the bus. Some old people are so old they can’t even clap their hands to turn on one of those Clapper thing. I bet that old Ms. Green told my mother that I was going through her paper in her desk. Now I ask you, do I look like the kind of kid that would read your personal mail? [pause] I can’t even read that good yet. [pause] I know one thing.. Old Ms. Green better pay her electric bill ...They gonna cut it off in three days and she won’t be seeing if she can see her old rings. [laughing], add that old old Mr. Lee..always talking ‘bout he was a war vet, what he do? Fix up animals that was in the war? I seen ‘em in the movies, dogs and horses, even big old elephants. If he was a vet-tra-nery-em he an elephant should’ve sat on him. Then he couldn’t tell lies on me anymore.
[telephone rings] Excuse me. [she runs to pick-up phone]
Hello. Oh Hi Virginia, No, I’m not going out trick or treating. Nope, I don’t feel like it, besides that kids stuff and I’m almost grown……well hold on [covering the mouthpiece of the phone] Mom. can I have company?
MOTHER’S VOICE
No. no company, hang up that phone. I want you to sit at that kitchen table and do your homework. Practice your cursive writing and don’t let me come down there.
PRICILLA [crying]
Virginia, She won’t let me have no company. She won’t let me do anything. I hate her.
I hate her, I hate her, I hate her. Bye. [hanging up the phone, she sits at the table. Picking up a pencil she opens her notebook and starts writing. Reading out loud as she writes pausing from time to time to wipe away a tear and to sniff]
I have a mean old mother [sniff] I hate her. [sniff] I hate my brothers too. I wish I was a only child, and I don’t even like my baby sister. She gets all the attention. Mommy is upstairs right now with her. Saying she brand new and all that stuff I don’t care ‘bout. I wish I was dead then that mean old lady up-stairs couldn’t punish me no more
[she stops writing and stares at the pumpkin as if seeing it for the first time]
I wish, I wish, I wish I was a fly, then I could hide inside this pumpkin for a thousand years I could see and hear everybody and they wouldn’t even know I was here. Yeah.
[she lays her head down on the table the pencil rolls off and hits the floor Pricilla is asleep]

ACT II
INSIDE THE PUMPKIN
The lighting has an orange glow. There is a large candle in the center, and rather large pumpkin seeds spread around the floor.
Enters Pumpkin I (male) and Pumpkin II (female) arm in arm strolling along. Pumpkin II is first to speak.
PUMPKIN II
[she stops short, pulls back Pumpkin I and points her finger nervously at the figure on the ground.]
What is that thing?
PUMPKIN I
I don’t know, let’s get a closer look.
PUMPKIN II
Let’s not [pulling him back] don’t you go near that thing.
PUMPKIN I
Then how are we going to find out what it is?
PUMPKIN II
I don’t know, but you leave it alone.
Enter smaller pumpkins. Running and playing, unaware of the object on the ground until they are almost on top of it.
“What’s that said one. “I don’t know” said the other.
PUMPKIN II
You Pumpks and Pumpketts! Step away from the thing, it may be dangerous.
Pricilla starts to awaken, she yawns, stretches
PRICILLA
What is all this fuss about?
She opens her eyes and is startle.
PRICILLA
Where am I??
Pricilla is alone, for when she started to awake all the pumpkin hide from sight. As she tries to stand up a heavy wing pulls her back down. In trying to keep her balance, she notice her right hand is now a claw. She slumps over and starts to cry.
Oh no! oh no! what has happened to me? What have I become? What am I?
A VOICE OFF STAGE
These old eye don’t see to good no mo’, but what I do see, seems to me is just a common old house fly.
PRICILLA [sitting up]
Who said that?
E.P. LEE
Elderly pumpkin entering the stage walking really fast, but taking little steps with the aid of a walker. A large fly swatter in his hand.
E.P. LEE the name and swatting flys is my game. Too darn old for much else. I just rock and swat. Rock and swat. [he attempts to swat Pricilla]
PRICILLA
Trying to maneuver around his swatting.
Hey! Old man stop. I’m not a fly, I’m a little girl
E.P. LEE
[adjusting his bifocals to get a better look]
Well go-o-o-ly. You got a different kind of head on your shoulders. Can’t say you look like dem others. Don’t know what to make of it. [scratching his head] I guess you is one of dem flygirls I heard so much about, use to be on that TV show “In Living Color”.
PRICILLA [indignant]
I ain’t no flygirl. I can dance better than that. [really looking at E.P. Lee for the first time] Wait a minute. You’re a pumpkin. A really old, old pumpkin. You’re all withered up and dried out.
E.P. LEE [very much indignant]
I know who I am, and I know what I am. I don’t need no young whipper-snapper telling me either. What I would like to know is….how did the likes of you get here? Did you fly...Fly.
PRICILLA
Now standing, but hunch to one side.
Oh get real…a talking pumpkin [in a nasty sing-song tone of voice] Mister Lee, Mister Lee, Mister Lee, Mister Lee, 1, 2, 3, come and look at Mister Lee. [she walks slowly around E.P. Lee] Weren’t you a part of an old rock group?, or maybe it was your grandkids I’m thinking of. Let me guess, they were the “Talking Pumpkins until you started beating them with that fly Swatter, now there are the “Smashed Pumpkins.” Ha, Ha, Ha,.
E.P. LEE
Oh you’re funny, a regular Whoopie Siverburg
PRICILLA
Talk to the hand [holding up her claw, then noticing her mistake. She quickly changes and holds up the good hand. Glancing at her wing and claw]
What is this? Something going on up in here, up in here! Something gone wrong up in here, up in here. I’m about to lose my mind up in here, up in here!
E.P. LEE
DMX….Now that is old.
PRICILLA
No, that’s rap. Rapping never gets old. What you know about rap?
E.P. LEE
Oh we got the hook-up. We got them little bitty boxes, but I’ll tell you a little secret. Rapping ain’t nothing but talking in rhythm and rhyme. People did that way back before my time. Like back in the old pumpkin fields, that was their way of communicating. Especially with the ladies
PRICILLA [surprised]
Wow! Was that before “The Anthill Gang” “Rush D.M.C.”. and “Kurtis Blast”.
E.P. LEE
Yep, even before James Brown
PRICILLA
Wow! That’s like in my great grandmother’s time
E.P. LEE
Walking around Pricilla and trying to study her up close, leaning way over his walker.
Okay girly, just what is your story?
PRICILLA
Stop staring at me.
E.P. LEE
I can’t help myself [shaking his head] I done seen a house fly, a horse fly and a butterfly. I done even seen a fly-by-nite, but you are my first human fly. Tell me, was it dem drugs I’ve been hearing ‘bout. They say they can do strange things to your body and worser to your mind they cracked a egg on a hot car and it fried all up, and they said this is your brains on drugs..
PRICILLA
Not my brains on drugs. I say no to drugs
E.P. LEE
Well if it ain’t drugs then was it some mad scientist, some lab experiment went wrong and they threw you out of the car and you landed here.? It would have been a case for C.S.I. if you would’ve died.
PRICILLA [Head down]
I think I wish it….I wish I was a fly inside of a dumb pumpkin. [really looking around for the first time]
Don’t tell me……we’re inside a real pumpkin?????
E.P. LEE
I don’t know about that, our world is round, but, inside a pumpkin.. We call it Pumpkinville U.S.A.. It’s a mighty big place.
PRICILLA
Well wherever it is, I don’t want to be here.
[Snickering off stage]
Who’s that? Who’s there?
[out comes the other pumpkins]
E.P. LEE [speaking to the pumpkins]
Oh it’s alright……. This one don’t bite….yet.
He pulls over a large pumpkin seed and with great effort sits down with the help from two of the other pumpkins. Shaking his head he begins to rap.
Oh me, oh my
Would someone tell me why
Anyone in their right mind
Would wish to be a fly
A fly of any kind
Now I can plainly see
If you wanted to be a bee
they work hours after hours
gathering sweet nectar
From the sweet flowers
So tell me why O why
Would anyone wish to be a fly
On this I’ve surely learned
Them old flies carries lots of germs and
PRICILLA [interrupting with anger]
Stop it! Stop it right now! Get out of here! Go away before I squash you all and turn you into pumpkin pies.
With that said, all pumpkins scurry off stage except for E.P. LEE who is having problems in getting to his feet you too old man. Move it, move it!
E.P. LEE
These legs weren’t meant for running. Right now they don’t even think they were made for standing. No need to worry though. I’m way too tough to make a good pie for you or Evamadea.
Yep, she must leave me alone when her evil goons raid our home. You better watch out when she’s about.
Finally up and walking off stage.
PRICILLA [calling after him]
I ain’t watching out for nobody. Everyone just leave me alone.
Enters a large black ant. He’s switching and seems in a hurry. He’s obviously gay
ANTHONY ANT
ANTHONY ANT
Walks past Pricilla. Stops
Did I just see what I think I just seen, no I know I didn’t see that.
Turning around and walking towards Pricilla.
Are you the thing that was screaming to be left alone? Well I don’t think you’ll have a problem with that. Just look at you. You’re one big hot mess. Who does your hair? What kind of do is this? [picking at Pricilla hair] Girl I got this friend, and I just know she can do something with this stuff. Her name is Tina Termite and she is a whiz at reconstruction, and your clothes, here [looking in his purse] take this card, it’s my other friend Calamari she has her own clothing line called “Childish Plump” She’ll be able to help you and….
PRICILLA [cutting him off]
Who are you? Why are you touching me?
ANTHONY ANT
My name is Anthony Ant and you look as if you could use a little help, a lot of help. Like help me make it through the night.
PRICILLA
The only help I need is for someone to tell me [now in a very loud voice] how to get out of here!!!
ANTHONY ANT
Well let’s see….you could ask..no..you could ask…no..oh yes. You can ask Black Jack. You can’t miss him, he travels with the pack, Oh he’s a card, you’ll find him at any club, but you have to beat 21, I mean be 21..you know to get into the clubs. Your other choice is to wait until that other wings grows and simply fly away.
PRICILLA
Wait…….until my other wing grows?
ANTHONY ANT
Oh my where does the time go? [looking at his watch] Funny how times slips
away. Gotta go now. He only thing around here that’s out after 10 is lights and of course Evamadea. Ta ta [switching off into the woods
PRICILLA
There’s that name again. Who is this Evamadea? Anthony ... Anthony please wait..wait for me [dragging herself off stage]

ACT III
THE BLACK FORREST
The lighting is dark but there is a full moon there are large plants, tall grass, and a pond. Pricilla enters calling Anthony’s name
PRICILLA
Anthony!….Anthony! Where are you? [Silence]
There is a swish, swish sound. The tall grass is moving. Pricilla moves cautiously she parts the grass very slowly.
Hey! It’s a fish! It’s a fish out of water.
FISH
Not just a fish, I’m a Black Bass.
PRICILLA
OK Mister Blaack Bass, how did you get here and the water is way over there?
FISH
I wish it.
PRICILLA
But you are a fish, why would you wish to be out of water?
FISH
It’s not like a put a lot of thought into it. I just got tired of being in school all the time. I was in this group called “New Addition,” We were always adding, multiplying and even subtracting. Especially when the black bears get hungry. Do you know what I mean? Well anyway I had dropped out of school so much that I had to go to court. Then they were going to send me to jail.
BLACK MAMBA BLACKBASS
PRICILLA
You mean they put you in jail for not going to school? Sometimes I didn’t go to school, but I aint never had to go to no jail…A real jail with bars?
FISH
Yeah, you go to a lobster cage. Anyway, there was this bailiff…
PRICILLA
What’s a bailiff?
FISH
He’s an officer of the court.
PRICILLA
Like a policeman?
FISH
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! [a little annoy with Pricilla interruptions] so anyway, this bailiff named Phillip, was escorting me to the cage and I said to him, “You look familiar”, and he said, “maybe you caught my act. I’m a singer with Earth, Wind, Water.” What a show tonight at Evamades’s place. It’s a black tie affair. Then I said, “Man! I sure wish I could get out of here to catch your show.” Then he said, “When you wish upon a shining star, makes no difference what you are.”
PRICILLA
That’s when you made your wish
FISH
Well, I didn’t want to play by the rules, didn’t want to go to school. And like you, I didn’t want anybody telling me what to do. Especially some Big Mouth Bass.
PRICILLA
You don’t know nuffin ‘bout me, and besides you’re out of the frying pan and into the fire.
FISH
Ouch!
PRICILLA
This Phillip Bailiff, was he a fish too?
FISH
No, he’s a lobster. Why do you ask?
PRICILLA
I was just wondering, if he was a fish like you, how was he going to get to this Evamadea’s place without legs or feet. I mean if she lives on land. I think she lives on land. Doesn’t she live on land?
Enters a black snake [hissing]
BLACK MAMBA
I don’t see were that presents a problem
FISH [noticeably frighten, he is shaking badly]
Problem, problem, Houston we have a problem. Quick, quick, what’s your name, push me back in the water.
BLACK MAMBA
Closing in on the fish that is shaking even more
I like my meals stirred not shaken.
PRICILLA
Moving in between the snake and the fish
I’m not gonna let you eat my friend.
FISH
Uh.. flygirl, you’re standing in front of a Black Mamba. One of the top 10 most poisonous snakes in the world. Also the fastest. It’s like the Michael Johnson of snakes without the gold running shoes. I suggest you step away from the snake.
BLACK MAMBA
Oh I wouldn’t harm a fly. They’re not on my menu.
FISH
Y-o-u-, Y-o-u-, wouldn’t want me on your menu either. I’m not a fresh catch. I’ve been lying in the hot sun all day, you can see I’ve attracted a fly. I’ll make you sick even dead. Look! See I’m almost dead myself.
BLACK MAMBA
I s-e-n-s-e a lot on movement.
FISH
Movement! Yeah, well…….uh…yeah I got moves. You see I’m not really a fish. I’m a fisherman. Yeah that’s right. I’m a fisherman by day and at night I’m a singer. Johnny Gill is my name, yeah that’s right, and tonight I have to do a show, yeah, a show for Evamadea, and if I don’t show up she is gonna wonder what happen to me.
BLACK MAMBA
Sing for Evamadea huh, well you’re lucky, I just ate 4 and 20 blackbirds. I think they were suppose to be for some king.
PRICILLA
Don King
BLACK MAMBA
No, some singing king. Old King Cole or maybe it was Nat King Cole
The snakes slithers off stage
PRICILLA
[watching the snake leave she turns towards the fish]
You lied, you were lying. Johnny Gill?
FISH
Impersonation is the sheerest form of flattery, quick, push me back in the water.
PRICILLA
I’ll help you if you help me.
FISH
Yeah, yeah, push me back into the water and I’ll grant you 3 wishes.
PRICILLA
Why don’t you grant yourself 3 wishes and wish yourself back into the water, or better still, wish you were really Johnny Gill.
FISH
We black magic fish can’t work magic on ourselves, only on those that save our lives. Now push me back in the water.
PRICILLA
Nope, not until you promise to help me.
FISH
Did you know fish eat flies?
PRICILLA
OK! OK!, I’ll push you in [pushing and grunting] big splash noise] Hey! You got me all wet.
FISH
Thank you girly…Hey! What’s your name?
PRICILLA
Pricilla!
FISH
Well Pricilla, I thank you for saving my life. I can’t give you 3 wishes because I’m a lying bass, but I can tell you that you’re in the Black Forrest. And here is a tip, ‘cause everybody got there hand out for a tip. If you don’t want to be a fish out of water, stay in school.
Pricilla walks over to a large rock which is surrounded by rather large plants. She starts crying. The plants move slightly as to get a better look at Pricilla’s face.
HOLLY BERRY
A Black Nightshade
I never seen a fly cry.
PRICILLA [jumping to her feet]
Who said that?
HOLLY BERRY
Well I did dearie, I said that, and may I reiterate, I never seen a fly cry.
PRICILLA
Oh Gee, even the plants are talking.
HOLLY BERRY
I am not just a plant, I am a Black Nightshade. I have delicious black berries. Here have a few.
[picking a few berries off of herself and handing them to Pricilla]
I’m Holly Berry, do you have a name?
Before Pricilla can answer, a black sheep enters
BLACK SHEEP
B-a-a-a-d, B-a-a-a-d [sheep pointing towards Holly]
PRICILLA [looking from one to the other]
What is he saying? [talking to Holly]
BLACK SHEEP
B-a-a-a-d, B-a-a-a-d her berries are poison. Look they are dark green not black. If it don’t kill you, you’re going to wish you were dead.
HOLLY BERRY
Oh don’t listen to him… That’s Sammy Sheep, he’s just jealous because no one gives him anything. He is the black sheep of his family, and an all around trouble maker. He’s worthless like a penny with a hole in it.
BLACK SHEEP
I am not worthless. I have giving three bags of wool. One to my master, one to some dame and one to a little boy who lives down that lane. {pointing to a directions]
BLACK NIGHTSHADE WITH BERRIES HOLLYBERRY BLACKEYED SUSAN
PRICILLA
That’s it! Sammy, please take me to the little boy who lives down the lane.
BLACK-EYED SUSAN
I would advise you not to take that path.
PRICILLA
Why not? And who are you to advise me? I didn’t ask for no advise.
BLACK-EYED SUSAN
My name is Susan. Black-eyed Susan.
PRICILLA
Why your name Black-Eye Susan? Somebody kept punching you in your eye? You know back home there was this lady and she had a boyfriend, and he would be drunk sometimes and when he was drunk, he would give her a black eye, and a busted lip. One time I saw him go into her house and I hear him say “Did you miss me baby”, and I hear her say. “I missed you once but I not gonna miss you again, and she didn’t. Shot him right between the eyes they say. You got a gun?
HOLLY BERRY
We’re not barbaric, we don’t carry guns, but there is one who carries a gun. In fact she carries two. She’s a bad…..
BLACK ROSE
Shut your mouth!
PRICILLA
Now who are you?
BLACK ROSE
Rose, Black Rose
HOLLY BERRY
Girl crawl back under that rock that you just came from. In fact take a back seat and talk to the leaf [holding up her leaf as if it was a hand] You do not exist,
BLACK ROSE
Oh but I do exist, I exist in movies, books plays, I am a symbol. In fact I am a Biographical of Madame C.J. Walker the first female black American Millionaire. So there. [turning towards Pricilla] and that path you are about to take. Yes it will take you to the little boy who lives down the lane, but first you have to get ed a Venus Flytrap and then a Black Toad. Both of them would love to have you, and the other path, well just say no one has come back to tell us were it leads to.
PRICILLA [talking to the black sheep]
Well Toto I guess we’re not in Kansas anymore. I’m hoping we’ll be alright.
BLACK SHEEP
Who is we, Queen –O-Sobbe, I am going back to my master. Good Luck

BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
Oh so that is you Halloween costume?

M-m-m-m-m Michael Jackson. He was here years ago. Had a duel with M.C. Hammer head on who was the best performer at Evamadea show. And to think I had him right here, caught in my web of deceit. I had to let him go because he was a great performer, He was Bad!!!
PRICILLA
Miss Spider, Miss Spider I’m a performer too. In fact I was in my cousin’s Michal’s video. I’m an actress.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
An actress!, an actress! Why I am the greatest actress of all times
I can recite Shakespeare and not miss a line A Spider is what you call me but black widow is my name I’m pretty and I’m witty and getting over is my game
see me in all glorious splendor
Am I not quite stunning Take your Halle Berry and Dorothy Dandridge Am I not more cunning
The females of my species They know me and stay clear of my path the males of my species are much slower It’s of them, I have the last laugh
I usually take your superfliy male swinger back him into my net, then slowly put him through the wringer A sigh a song, a soft velvet touch that seems to linger and before he knows it, he’s wrapped around my little finger Ha, Ha. Ha.
PRICILLA
Now you sound like Vicent Price.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
You know I’ve been in lot of movies, never won an award. Can you believe it? As great as I am, I never won a award. They had the ordasity to tell me….ME! They don’t give out awards to insects. I am not an insect. Insects have three pairs of ted legs, whereas I have four, oh course you being an insect would know that.
PRICILLA
Are you a Aries? My sister Millicent is an Aries, and she thinks she’s the greatest too.. “I’m the first sign of the zodiac, I’m a leader”. She couldn’t lead a thirsty horse to water. Anyway I don’t believe in that astrology stuff. We Taurus are like that.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
Your mouth is doing sixty miles an hour in a slow down, proceed with caution zone. I see I have to give you an injection to calm you down.
PRICILLA
No! No. Needles, my aunt Geri takes needles. She injects herself, she has to, she’s dibetical and she…….
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
Do you not understand the words coming out of my mouth, shut up!!!!
[there is a loud crashing noise, one than another followed by a a third. There is a moment of silence, follow by a rather heavy voice singing and dancing onto the stage is a large Black Tarantula. BLACK TARANTULA [Jamaican accent]
Come Mister Tally-man, Tally me bananas. Daylight come and me wanna go home. Day! Issa day-a-a-a-o daylight come and me wanna go home.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER [with sarcasm]
Hairy Belafonte I presume.
BLACK TARANTULA
He bows, making a sweeping gesture with his front leg. He is wearing so many gold chains around his neck that as he bows he almost topples over.
Heavy T at your service madam.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
Ah Mister T, what a nice surprise. You’re just in time for dinner. Come me.
MR. T
In all due respect malady .… I pity the fool who sits at your table. I pity the fool who s you for dinner. I even pity the fool you are having for dinner.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
[laughing]
Mister T, oh you do make me laugh, but…seriously, just look at yourself. You’re so big and strong. How could little ol’ me hurt someone that’s as powerful and muscle-bound as you. Why your appearance alone just frightens me to death.
MR. T
Well [scratching his head] My appearance is quite sinister As I crawl along the ground But you won’t need a minister
Tho’ my bite is most profound
A cousin to the Wolf Spider By pursuit we catch our prey I need no web [shaking the web and flexing his muscles] I’m mightier, exercising keeps me this way.
[Pricilla recoils in horror as Mr. T touches her face. Not wanted to torment her any further he takes a few steps back and turns around. Now he appears humble and apologetic.] On the lighter side…I’m quite harmless Not really a danger to man When treated with a little kindness I can be as gentle as a lamb.
[regaining his dignity]
As pets we are most unusual We go most anywhere Some humans are a little sensible
[rushing the audience threatening with a diabolic laugh]
But most of you are SCARED!!!
PRICILLA
[in a weak voice]
There’s that Vincent Price laugh again. Help me, help me.
Off stage a weak Tarzan like yell is heard. Enters E.P. LEE wearing a Kung-fu outfit beating on his chest. The force of his own fists sends him stumbling backwards away from his walker. He manages to stay up-right and in doing so, takes a spray can out of a pocket on his walker.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
[sarcastically]
OH LOOK! Super Bumpkin.
MR. T
[snickering]
Be cool fool, Jet Lag is well armed.
E.P. LEE
In a Kung-Fu stance, holding the spray can at arms length. He waves it back and forth between the two spiders]
Make tracks before I blast ya.
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER
Moving towards E.P. Lee to get a better look at the spray can. Reading the label, she points to it and doubles over in laughter.]
Generic bug spray.
MR. T
[strolling towards E.P. Lee] Ain’t no fool like a old fool, and you old fool have seen better days.
E.P. LEE
Reaching into another pocket on his walker, he brings out a second spray can, and aims it directly at Mr. T.
Go ahead. Make my day.
There is a moment of silence as both spiders glare at E.P. Lee. Then as if in a hypnotic state, their heads slowly weave back and forth following the waving hand holding the spray can. The hand comes to a halt. Coming out of their trance, they look at each other and scream “RAID!!!. Taking off at a mad pace, they run each other down, scrambling to their feet, they run off stage, slipping and falling all the way.
PRICILLA
[thrilled]
Oh E.P. You saved me! You saved me!
E.P. LEE
[while cutting Pricilla free]
Not bad for an old geezer like me, I done pretty good, if I haft to say so myself. Stay still! This stuff is mighty tricky. Did you se the way they skid-daddle out of here?
PRICILLA
Oh EP! You were so brave, I was frightened for you. [now free, Pricilla hugs and kisses E.P. Lee’s all over his face] E.P. LEE
[laughing]
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Hold up [pushing Pricilla away gently] You were frightened for me?
Pricilla nods her head, yes.
Well if that do beat all.
PRICILLA
You risk your life to save me, even after I was so mean to you. Even after I said
all those mean and nasty thing to you. You save me from those nasty spiders.
E.E. LEE
[Pricilla and Mr. Lee sitting on the tree stumps]
Well….It’s wasn’t all your fault. You know our lives is a gift to us from the Creator, what we did with it, is our gift to him. You cant fool him with a pretty package, all tied up in ribbons and bows. If there’s ugly inside, hes gonna know it. I had a ugly inside of me when I made up that poem ‘bout cha. Felt bad too, that’s why I followed you, wanting to apologize.
PRICILLA
Oh. You don’t have to apologize, but Mister Lee, what is a ugly? Is more than one. Where it come from and it can it hurt you?
E.P. LEE
A ugly is a monstrous thing, real nasty.
PRICILLA
Like those spiders, they gave me the heepy-jeppies.
E.P. LEE
To some human flies are ugly, they eat what they throw away. They also eat what other thing eat and get rid of. They carry germs, and some humans kill them while others just shoo them away. The ugly is not what you are, ‘cause we’re all the Creator’s creatures, its what in you that makes a ugly. Its know by many names. Jealous, greed, envy, and sloth.
PRICILLA
I know what a sloth is. I seen it when my class went to the zoo. It was hanging upside down in a tree, if I hung upside down for a long time I would get a headache, so he’s a ugly?
E.P. LEE
No Pricilla that sloth was a slow moving mammal. The sloth I’m talking ‘bout is a lazy person, and yes the Uglies can hurt you. Hurt you real bad. Make you feel all sick inside, and if you are a weak person, those Uglies can stay inside you for a real long, long time.
PRICILLA
That Tarantula wasn’t weak. He had a lot of muscles and a lot of ugly.
E.P. LEE
I meant being weak up here [tapping his head] You see the Uglies are all around us, waiting, watching for that right moment to pop inside our heads. If you have a strong mind, they’ll pop right back out.
PRICILLA
[Looking around a little frighten]
Can you see them? What they look like? Do they make noise?
E.P. LEE
Well one you can’t really see, but you can see the result of its actions. It’s call “The Green-eyed monster”, and the other one turns your eyes red. It makes your nostril flair, and sometimes it does this thing with the lips. It came make them poke out, it can make them sort of curl back, and it can make them real tight. It can pop in your head and out through those lips before you have time to think. They work on your body too. Makes your hands do thing, ugly things
PRICILLA
So, say you’re in a store, and you see something you want, and you don’t have no money, and the store got lots and lots of the same thing you want, and they not gonna miss it ‘cause they got lots and lots of it and you just take one. Is that the uglies?
E.P. LEE
I think you already know the answer to that one.
PRICILLA
But, my mother said Mister Lee’s prices were too high and he was committing highway robbery. If he is stealing on the highways and nobody tells the police, then he shouldnt tell on you when you take something from him, even if he does see you he can just say, put it back. He aint got to tell my mother, oops.
[putting a hand over her mouth]
E.P. LEE
Well….stealing is ugly no matter what the reason is. If Mister Lee just made you put it back, you’ve might have stole again when you thought you could get away with it, not from just Mister Lee, but from anybody. Learning begins in the home, thats why- Minster Lee called your mother. He cares about you.
PRICILLA
And nobody cares ‘bout him?
E.P. LEE
Im sure someone cares about him
PRICILLA
Then how come someone is not telling his mother, he’s stealing on the highway?
E.P. LEE
Highway robbery in this caase is just what they call a figure speech, like “im so hungry I could eat horse.”
PRICILLA
Is “drop dead” a figure a speech too?
E.P. LEE
Most of the time, that’s the kind of ugly that pop out of your mouth when someone else’s mouth has a whole lot of Uglies popping out of it
PRICILLA
You mean like bad words grown people say and kids can’t say ‘em ‘til we’re grown too?
E.P. LEE
I don’t think there are any bad words just nasty sounding words. Words that carry the uglies with them.
PRICILLA
How do you keep the uglies from popping in your head?, and can they pop on your head too, like on your scalp like ringworms? There was a boy in my class at school, he had ringworms and he had to wear a stocking on his head ‘cause they said it was katasesuhs and my mother was looking at my scalp, but she wasn’t looking for no ringworm, her was looking for the number 666. I don’t know why, nobody wrote 666 in my head.
E.P. LEE
First of all, to keep the uglies out of you head, you keep it crowded with good thought. Oh they’ll still pop in but, it will be so crowded they’ll pop right back out. Ring worms is a contagious skin disease and I think your mother was just kidding you about those three 6s. Speaking of popping in and out, I think we better pop outta here before Evamadea pops in.
PRICILLA
As they are walking off stage
Who’s Evamadea? Are you afraid of her. What about what they say when it’s a full moon? Where are we going now? Are you taking me to where you live? How am I gonna get back home?
END OF ACT IV
Pricilla in
Pumpkinville
Act 5
PRICILLA IN PUMPKINVILLE USA
Act V
Same location. Tree stumps and spider webs are removed. Pricilla’s voice is being heard still asking question. There is a moment of silence followed by low eerie music that grows louder and louder. Backing onto the stage is Priscilla, also try his best to mange his walker to back up EP Lee, in front and facing them are the young ladies dressed in black flowing gowns. At center stage they form a circle around Priscilla and EP Lee. With the garments flowing in the wind they sign and dance. These are the GITCHES.
GITCHES
Oh we are the gitches servants to the witches We’ve grown to like living So we do all their bidding A Frankenstein like monster has entered the stage during the singing. He desperately tries to put his finger to his to s-s-s-s-h everyone. The glitches put a cupped hand to their ear and lean towards Frankie as if not to miss a word.
FRANKIE
The evil one is now near
GITCHES
Resuming son and dance
The evil one is near To know her is to fear her Get ready for your doom When she flies in on her broom
GITCHES A GITCH
Let’s form a straight line and hands to receive the worst witch in Pumpkin land, Evamadea!!!
[there is silence]
A big hand for the baddest witch in Pumpkin Land….Evamadea!!!
There is a round of applause that dies down to silence.
There is something wrong here.
Walking up and down inspecting the line. Finding nothing wrong, she walks to and around Pricilla and EP. Lee. She lift Pricilla’s hand.
Is this ring sterling silver?
PRICILLA
[arrogantly]
No, it’s a Black Diamond,
GITCH
Take it off!
Pricilla tried to get the ring off by manipulating her thumb and finger. Failing this, she tried using her teeth. Impatient and very annoyed, the gitch grabs Pricilla hand and pulls the ring off. She inspect the ring with a eye piece, announcing 14K gold. She returns the ring to Pricilla and walks stage front. She addresses the audience.
Anyone wearing sterling silver in the 1st 5 rows please remove or cover it up. Witches are allergic to sterling silver as they are to running water. Evamadea will not appear until all the silver is hidden or covered.
EVAMADEA PRICILLA
I mean this has gone too far. There is no such thing as witches.
The gitch in hearing this, still facing the audience, her mouth drops open in disbelief slowly she turns, hands on hip and face to face the gitch looks at Priscilla daring her to repeat herself.
Pricilla, tried and annoyed and no longer caring.
Yes! You heard me. I don’t believe in witches, gitches, or pumpkins that walk and talk/ [looking at E.P. LEE] sorry E.P. But I know I’m dreaming. In a minute now, I’ll wake-up and I’ll be home right in my own bed.
A rather piercing laugh fills the stage. Enters Evamadea dressed in a black 2 piece outfit consisting of a long black dress with a cape-like jacket. A point black hat sits on her long grey hair. Still laughing she heads straight towards Pricilla with a shot gun in hand.
EVAMADEA
So you don’t believe in witches, Well that has me in stitches
For I am the baddest witch in Pumpkin Land
There is no one who is meaner/ If there is I haven’t seen her ‘Cause I’m the baddest witch in Pumpkin Land I’m bad! I’m bad! I’m bad oh yes I’m bad [doing a Micheal Jackson step, opens her jacket and yells]
GITHCES
There is no one who is meaner If there us we haven’t seen her Evamadea is the baddest witch in Pumpkin Land She’s the leader of the pack And her colors are jet black From her pointed shoes Straight to her pointed hat
The power she possesses Can put you through some testes To stay alive and survive
You must be full of yeses. EVAMADEA
[addressing her gitches]
Do you believe in witches?
GITCHES
Yes!!!
EVAMADEA
Are you all my little gitches?
GITCHES
Yes!!!
EVAMADEA
[addressing the audience]
Don’t you just love it! There is no one that’s meaner If there is I’ll have to bean her For I’m the baddest witch in Pumpkin Land Now give me a hand.
[applause]
Evamadea walks to Frankie who has been standing on stage. She grabs his hand leaving a empty sleeve.. She waves the hand in his his face with a warning.
You need to stop hanging out at that nuclear reactor plant.
Walking towards center stage with the hand that has a big eye in it’s palm.
Tell me hand, am I not the most evil one in Pumpkin Land?
She puts the hand up to her ear as if to listen, then turns slowly to stare at Pricilla
What!, What!……..What! You don’t say……You don’t say…..You don’t say……
[taking the hand away from her ear and looking at it in wonder]
You do say. [throwing the hand over her back, she approaches Pricilla] So you’re as evil as me And you hate you’re family You steal and you lie Turn yourself into a fly. GITCHES
She is as evil as you Evamadea what will you do? 1st GITCH
Oh her evil is too much
2nd GITCH
Stay away from her touch
3rd GITCH
Well I do believe she wouldn’t give a cripple crab a crutch.
PRICILLA
Now see here!………
EVAMADEA
[cutting Pricilla off and walking away]
No need to boast I think flies are gross Huh, a human house fly Why she is as evil as I This will never do I must get rid of you.
Walking back to Pricilla really fast with her shotgun cocked ready to fire.
E.P. LEE
Moving in front of Pricilla holding up his arms trying to protect her.
STOP!!!!!
EVAMADEA
[angry]
Why you old country bumpkin. I should have turn you into a pumpkin pie long before you became old and leathery and full of worms. You so old, you probably help celebrated Methuselah’s 16th birthday or you were one of the two pumpkins Noah took aboard his boat. I would shoot you but, then you would explode and we would all covered in nasty maggots.
PRICILLA
Very angry, stepping around and in front of EP. Lee How dare you!!! How double D dare you! How dare you talk to him like that? Don’t you have any respect for the elderly.?
Stepping back and realizing she just raise her voice to an adult, she curtseys and moves back to E.P. Lee puts her arm around him. I…..I….I’m so sorry, but I don’t think you should holler at him like that. He’s nice and kind……and decent….and…well… yes he’s old but he is living history.. he knows a lot of neat things, and if he is older than you, then you need to give him a little r-e-s-p-e-c-t
GITCHES
O-o-oh just a little respect.. r-e-s-p-e-c-t.. sock it to me… sock it to me sock it to me
EVAMADEA
Respect! Ha! He shouldn’t have lived so long, taking up my space, breathing in my polluted air.
PRICILLA
Holding her nose Polluted air is right. I love your dress, I love your hat but, your breath could knock Godzilla flat
GITCHES
Bush your breath, brush your breath with…….
EVAMADEA
Cutting them off and with her gun upright she shoots in the air. A duck quacks and some feathers fall.
Quiet!!! If I hear just one more peep out of you, No-o-o- party, we do want our party don’t we?
GITCHES
Yes Evamadea
Evamadea walks over to Pricilla and takes her hand. EVAMADE
My dear, I have decided not to kill you,…yet. I will let you and your friend attend my party
PRICILLA
[trying to free her hand] I’m not your dear, and I’m on punishment, so I can’t go to no party. And even if I wasn’t on no punishment, I still don’t want to go to no silly old party anyway. I’m tired and I just wanna go HOME!!!
EVAMADEA
[noticing the ring] My, what a nice ring.. Where in Pumpkin did you get it?
PRICILLA
[finally freeing her hand, she puts it behind her back]
I borrow it. I’m gonna give it back when I get home.
EVAMADEA
Did you hear that gitches, she is going to give it back when she returns home.
[lots of laughter]
My dear and you are my dear because I said so. Now you don’t seem to understand. I have decided to let you live, live here, with me, as my daughter. Yes! I’ve always wanted a daughter, and you wanting to be an only child. Why we’ll get along just per-r-r-rfectly. We’re two of the same kind, both with evil minds
PRICILLA
No! No! I’m not like you! [crying] I don’t want to be an only child. I love my mother [sob] my sisters [sob] my brother [sob] and I just wanna go home.
EVAMADEA
Snap her fingers. Enters a young muscle-bound male, topless, black tight pants. Carrying a tray with a book on it. Evamadea takes the book, looks the man up and down then look at the audience and smiles. She begins to read.
Dear Diary,
I have a very mean mother, and I hate her very much. I wouldnt hate her so much if I was an only child. I dont like my sister, she talks to much and my baby sister cries to much. My brother is just to much.
PRICILLA
[in shock]
Why that’s my diary! How did you get that? That’s personal stuff in there. You cant read that. That’s not fair,
[trying to get her book back, Evamadea holds her back with one hand, until the gitches grab her.
How did you get my diary!
EVAMADEA
I can get anything I want. Why I can even get a subscription to Oprah’s magazine, but this book is so much better, its more personal. I just love other people personal things. It give me something to talk about, and oh child, I don like to gossip. Of course I add a little bit here and there when I retell it, just to make a bit more interesting.
PRICILLA
[regaining her composure]
That’s not right. You should keep your nose out of other people personal
business. If I had my way…….
EVAMADEA
[cutting her off]
Your way!! Ha! Your way led you straight to me. You are no longer in Pumpkinville, you are here, in this forest of Pumpkin Land. This is my domain. All way are my way, and dont you forget it.
[snapping her finger another male, like the first enters the stage carrying a black gown across his arms, he bows presenting the gown to Evamadea who take the gown, look the male over, turns to the audience and smiles. She measure the gown up against Pricilla and nods her head in approval. She hand the dress back to the male.
Looking at her watch she announces
It’s time for my party.
Everyone scurries off the stage. Pricilla and E.P. Lee are being dragged off. Evamadea walks to the front of the stage. The curtain close behind her. She addresses the audience
We do like to party don’t we? Well you have [looking at her watch] 15 or 20
minutes to get yourselves together.

FINAL ACT VII
Back home in the kitchen, Pricilla is still asleep, but now she is under the kitchen table. Her little brother Mikey is about 6 years old and her older sister Millicent is about 15. They are both wearing Halloween costumes and carrying goody bags full of candy in which they dump on the counter making a lot of noise. They hear a loud moan and start looking around for the source.
