Scene 1: The Arrival

Setting: A cozy café with soft lighting and comfortable chairs. Four friends—Emma, Jack, Lily, and Tom—are seated at a round table, sipping coffee.

Emma: (smiling) "So, have you guys heard about the new play at the university theater? It’s supposed to be amazing!"

Jack: (leaning back in his chair) "Oh yeah? What’s it about?"

Lily: (excitedly) "It’s a comedy! They say it’s hilarious. I think we should go see it."

Tom: (raising an eyebrow) "Hilarious, huh? Count me in. But why don’t we just write our own instead?"

Emma: (pausing thoughtfully) "That’s actually a great idea! We could do something fun and light-hearted. Something that reflects our lives."

Jack: (nodding) "Yeah, but who will star in it?"

Lily: (grinning) "Well, naturally, I’ll be the lead. Everyone loves the protagonist!"

Tom: (mocking) "Of course you would! And I guess I’ll be your loyal sidekick."

Emma: (laughing) "And I’ll be the quirky best friend who always has the best advice."

Lily: (pointing at Jack) "And you’ll be the love interest who is hopelessly clumsy but somehow charming."

Jack: (pretending to look offended) "Hopelessly clumsy?! Thanks, guys."

Emma: (rolling her eyes) "Come on, Jack. You’re perfect for the role. Now, let’s get started on the script."

Scene 2: The Rehearsal

Setting: A small rehearsal room with a makeshift stage. Emma is holding a notebook, while the others stand in their respective positions.

Emma: (reading from the notebook) "Okay, so here’s the opening scene. 'Lily enters the café, looking lost and confused...'"

Lily: (interrupting) "Lost and confused? That sounds about right. Go ahead."

Emma: (continuing) "'...and meets Jack, who is already sitting at a table, reading a book.'"

Jack: (posing dramatically) "Ah, the lone wolf. Always reading."

Lily: (approaching him) "Excuse me, do you know where the restroom is?"

Jack: (looking up, startled) "Uh, sure. It’s down the hall, second door on the left."

Lily: (smiling sweetly) "Thank you, kind sir."

Tom: (walking in late) "Sorry I’m late. Traffic was brutal."

Emma: (shaking her head) "No excuses, Tom. Let’s start over."

Lily: (whispering to Emma) "He’s such a diva."

Tom: (overhearing) "What did you say?"

Lily: (innocently) "Nothing. Carry on."

Scene 3: The Big Day

Setting: The university theater, bustling with activity. The four friends are backstage, preparing for their performance.

Jack: (nervously) "Are you guys ready? This is it."

Lily: (calmly) "Relax, Jack. You’ve got this. Just be yourself."

Emma: (checking her lines) "Remember, everyone, timing is everything."

Tom: (grinning) "Let’s make this one unforgettable."

The lights dim, and the audience falls silent. The curtain rises, revealing the café set.

Curtain Call

After the final applause, the four friends take a bow together, laughing and cheering.

Emma: (hugging Lily) "We did it!"

Jack: (smiling) "Not bad for amateurs."

Lily: (blowing kisses to the crowd) "Thank you all for coming!"

Tom: (waving) "Till next time!"

The curtain falls as they exit, arm in arm, ready for their next adventure.
