Act

Curtains are shut and the lights go out. 4 spot lights shine on the stage where 4 men go to start off the show. Music Starts.

The 4 singers 1-4, "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality. Open your eyes, look up to the skies (Curtains open while 2 men move to the right and the others to the left. A boy stands in the middle of the stage in the form of a silhouette.) and see."

Jeff, "I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy."

All, "Because I'm easy come, easy go."

2 Right, "A little high,"

2 Left, "little low."

Jeff, "Anyway the (4 singers join in.) wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,"

4 singers exit

Jeff, "To-o me!!!"

2nd Curtin goes up revealing a set, a dirty city with many weird looking people in it. Jeff starts to walk around looking at the products of many venders.

Jeff, "Excuse me…

Jeff is interrupted by a random citizen who talks to the vender without sign of stopping. Jeff gives up and leaves. He goes to another booth and tries again. Just before he says anything, some one else interrupts. He waits a few minutes and quits again. He starts to walk off when a young lady comes to meet him.

Young Lady, "Well hello there. Haven't I seen you…?"

Jeff starts to walk away.

Jeff, "Whatever, I got to go."

Jeff walks off stage in a hurry. The Young Lady gets angry and her friend comes to her.

Young Lady, "What's his Problem!"

Friend, "He just doesn't get what love is doesn't he?"

They exit and Jeff reenters. A strange man and other psychics appear and come up to Jeff. They start to have a vision. Music starts.

Psychics, "Out on the street for a living. Picture's only begun. Whoo-oo-ooooo! Got you under their thumb… HIT IT!"

Jeff, "What's going on?"

Psychics, "Out on the streets for a living. Picture's only begun. Your day is sorrow and madness. Got you under their thumb. Whoo, black diamond. (Whisper to each other) Whoo, black diamond!"

Jeff tries to leave but the psychics stop him.

Psychics, "Just listen to us… Darkness will fall on the city. It seems to follow you too. Whoo-oo-ooooo. And though you don't ask for pity, there's nothin' that you can do! Whoo, black diamond. Whoo, black diamond!

Young Jeff, beware of the Black Diamond.

It controls your fate.

Beware of the Bridge!

Or the name Mr. Slate

Out on the streets for a living. Picture's only begun. Whoo-oo-ooooo. Your day is sorrow and madness. Got you under their thumb. Whoo, black diamond!!! Oh, yeah!!! Whoo, Black Diamond!

You are about to pass through the gate.

It will turn and twist your life and fate.

Love and loss will, for you, await.

If you don't go now, you will be too late…

(Repeat 2 more times)

Jeff exits and the song continues to the end. Psychics exit. Jeff reenters and runs into another person. Wastes time helping the person pick up their books, then Marten the bully and his 2 "minions" appear. Marten is wearing a black diamond on his hat and shirt. They attack Jeff and Jeff just tries to shake it off. Finally Jeff gets mad and punches him in the face. Marten puts out a gun and tries to shoot Jeff but Jeff kicks the gun away and takes it. The lights fade out and he shoots Marten.
