A crescent moon is projected on the back wall of the stage.
The sounds of night. Cicadas, owls hooting, a slight breeze.
Spotlight up on a woman at her desk, typing on a laptop. Lights down.
Spotlight up on a grocery clerk restocking the shelves. Lights down.
Lights up on a mother rocking an infant back to sleep. Lights down.
Lights up on a college student reading a textbook. Lights down.
Lights up on friends at a bar, drinking. Lights down.
Lights up on an insomniac, tossing and turning in bed. Lights down.
Lights up on a baker kneading dough. Lights down.
Lights up on a nurse, pouring a cup of coffee before making her rounds. Lights down.
