 *Intro: Closed Curtains*
Fhritz: A group of the smartest kids at a seemingly perfect orphanage uncover its dark truth when
they try to break a rule to never leave the orphanage grounds. Once the truth is discovered, they
begin to plan an escape to save all of the children. Set in the year 2046, let’s join Emma,
Norman, and Ray through their journey to escape the orphanage.

Scene 1:
Emma: Good morning, everyone!

*eating at the dining area*

Mama: All right,everyone! Conny is lucky as she is being adopted tomorrow. Say your goodbyes
to her.
Conny: Yay! Goodbye! I promise I will not forget to write letters for you all.

*Orphans will be teary-eyed and one by one will fist bomb Conny.*
*Conny and Mama will leave the scene, Conny forgot her teddy bear at the table*

Emma: Hey, isn't that Conny's teddy bear? *goes and grabs it*

Norman: Oh yeah, it is. Let's go and give it to her quickly

*They ran after Mama and Conny. Runs out of the scene. Close curtain, turn off lights*

Scene 2:
*open curtains and lights*
Emma: Hey! I thought we're not allowed in here.
Norman: Well yeah but we're just giving it to Conny.
Emma - Fine!

*They wander around the place and they saw that there is a box there just laying on the
ground.*

Norman: There's a random box here.

Emma: There is.Let’s see what's inside! *proceeds to open the box*
Norman: *scared* Emma,wha- wha- what is that?
Emma: *terrified* It- It's Conny.
*on and off lights*
*noises of the door, platform, amd voices*
*They heard noises of talking and quickly hid in a tree.*

Demons: When are the next harvests?

Mama: Within 3 months, we’ll have new harvests for you. Emma, an energetic kid. She’s very
smart and strategic. Norman is the smartest of them all. He outwits everyone. Ray, quiet but has
a lot to prove. He’s also one of the smart kids.
Demons: I see that the next harvests are in good condition, huh.
Demons: Hey, I smell something .
Mama: What?
*The Demons looked around and acted suspicious.*

Demons: Hmm, maybe, that's just my imagination.

*Drags box and gets out of the place. After they got out, Mama saw Conny's Teddy bear
lying on the ground.She fell on to her knees. Curtains will close, lights off.*
*open lights and curtains*

Emma: *exhausted* What happened to Conny?!

Norman: *shakes Emma* She's dead! Emma, she's dead!
*Silence.*
Norman: It’s like…we’re in a farm.
Emma: Fa- fa- farm?!
Norman: Yes.
Emma: Let's hurry back to the orphanage before Mama sees us.

*Curtains will close, lights off*

Scene 3:
*open lights and curtains*
*Emma and the other orphans were having breakfast. Emma and Norman is sitting in a
table in front of each other.*
Emma: *whispers to Norman* Hey, what do you plan to do? Last night was terrifying.
Norman: I thought of a plan overnight, we should not tell the other orphans because it might
cause chaos and Mama might know that were the ones behind this.
Emma: I want to escape with everyone. *punching the table lightly*
Norman: Yeah, I know but we should keep quiet until the time of our plan.
Emma: Fine.
*ONLY close curtains*
*Remove all chairs. Only Emma and Norman will be left in the scene.*

Norman: So, here's my plan, I will scout the area of where we are gonna escape while you are in
charge of stalling me time.Then, after that we should tell Gilda and Don about the whole
situation so we can have more people involved.
Emma: Sounds like a good plan.Lets do it!
Norman: I'm gonna go out later and see for myself what's on the other side and I also decided
that we should tell Don and Gilda about this.
Emma: Why though?
Norman: We need the most man power we can get.
*Only Emma and Mama will be left in the scene.*
Emma: Good morning, Mama!
Mama: Where are the other kids?
Emma: They went back to their rooms after breakfast.
Mama: I see. You should too, Emma.
Emma: I will help in the cleaning.
Mama: Oh sure. Thank you, Emma.

*Curtains Close. Lights Off. Change scene to Library Emma, Norman, Don, and Gilda will
be in the scene.*
*open ONE CURTAIN ONLY*
Don: Hellooo! Emmaaa,Normaaan.There you guys are. *from Ray’s Side*
Gilda: Why'd you guys picked this place? It's scary.
Emma: We need you guys to know something important
Gilda: What's so important that you need a dark place for.
Norman: You guys know Conny? She got adopted a few days ago, Right?
Don: Yeah! You guys even gave her teddy bear back.
Emma: Well to keep it short, Conny was killed by a bunch of creatures. And Mama was talking
to them.
Gilda, Don: What?!
Don: Co- Conny Died?! This doesn't make sense! Why are you guys so calm about this?!
Norman: Yeah, we were also terrified when we first saw Conny’s dead body. But we took it
calmly and acted like everything was okay because if everyone knew, the orphanage would be in
chaos.
Don: Okay! But still, that poor Conny. I'll believe you guys for now. I'll help you guys with all
that I can.
Emma: What about you Gilda?
Gilda: I'm in, too. We should need all the help we can, right?

*Ray popped out of nowhere, holding a book.* *open the other curtain*

Norman: Ray?! What are you doing here?

Ray: You guys know that this is the library, right? Look,I’m reading a book.
Norman: Did you hear anything?
Ray: I heard everything.
Norman: Will you help us?
Ray: Yeah, sure.
Emma: How did you believe that so fast?
Ray: Norman wouldn’t say such nonsense. If he says we’re in a farm, I believe him.
Norman: If my calculations are right, the next harvest will be in 3 months. We have 3 months to
save everyone.
Emma: We can do it!
*close curtain, change scene to dining hall*
Scene 4:

*Emma and the other 4 were having breakfast at the same table and they were planning
what to do.*

Norman: Hey Guys! I thought of a plan. Here's how it's gonna go. First, We could involve
everyone by playing hide and seek outside. Second, we should carry bagsthat we could need for
a survival out of the orphanage. Who knows what resides outside of the huge fence.
Don: I found huge cutters that could help us saw the gate.

the necessary preparations.
