SIDES
"BERNADETTE BIVENS/BB"
Character Description- The Writer”
Bernadette Bivins -mid 20's- 30
Her current occupation is a clerical worker in a small law firm. Her close friends and family call her “BB”. She is also an inspiring talented writer who loves to create content involving unusual and interesting characters. These scenarios deal with deep secrets, battles and journeys. The Writer hopes to minimize the scrutiny of critics. When she writes she is not afraid to challenge the judgement of those that observe from the sidelines of life. Her motto is “giving them voice and presence".
BB's Heart Cry
"I'm not sure why I even try. No one takes a true interest or stops to even ponder what I say or why I write what I do. My voice isn’t heard, at least not like I wish it was. People need to understand that there is more than what’s on the surface. That life is complicated, it is complex and that the “why” behind the “why” isn’t always noticeable. No, sometimes it has made many costume changes. God, you gave me something, but I’m not always sure if it’s being used in the most effective way.
I am a writer and I am an investigator that sees more than what’s on the surface. BEAT What the heck! Forget the surface! I want to peek at what's underneath! That’s what I wonder about, explore, seek, and know is there! Quick assumptions make us fools many times. The "real" hides from us; avoiding us at all cost. Sometimes, even to its own demise. "Real" will hide in a cave for days, months even years until it finds something or someone that just might understand it. Then it may come to the entrance to see if it’s really worth venturing out from the darkness. Well, enough of the belly aching. I better get going or I’ll be late for work. The plantation yet awaits me.
"THE FORGOTTEN"/Dolly
Character Description- Homeless Women
(LATE 50’S-60’S) Her appearance is dishellved and her clothes are a mix match of various garments that she has put together to form her every day attire.
The Forgotten has been homeless for more than five years and she is a survivor. She believes deeply in the Lord, but she has been stuck in this situation for far too long. She is an forced observer as to all that occurs on the streets where she calls home.
"The Forgotten"
Well... by now, you probably guessed... I’m homeless, they call me "The Forgotten" BEAT I'm not sure if someone else named me that.. or if it was just me. (To herself) Maybe, just how I felt. I got me six, grown, children. And none them care enough to see about me. They all live in the same city. Oh nooo, they ain't spread out! People be talking about pain. (points off camera) That fellow over there... he talks about being angry. Yeah, Ok.
Do you really think I want to stay this way. That somehow my plan was filth and darkness. Like my "choice" is dinner out of some nasty trash can. HMMPH Ain't nothing like "dumpster left overs". You learn to pick from bad, to the worst, then what'll kill ya!
(she refers to people entering with flowers for a make shift memorial on a nearby street corner)
Look there, they gonna be coming here everyday, dropping them flowers, cause of that young girl "Jen" she done jumped from the "Alternative."
There it is, up there, that ledge. On the other side of that wall drops right down to highway and traffic. It got that name from somebody writing it on the wall -"The Alternative" (points to place on wall) before they took "their" jump.
"LIL REDS"-
Character Description
LIL REDS 17-20 Young women who has seen a lot in her short life has three young children, all by different fathers. She finds it impossible to break free from their grip on her. She is caught up in the vicious cycle of what was not real at the time. She is frustrated, tired and still seeks for something that will make her life worthwhile after all she has been through.
"Them Flowers"
My name is Little Reds, they call me that because since I was a little kid... I’d always begetting into trouble. My Grams, nicknamed me that after the story. She say, “girl if you don’t learn to stay on the right path of life - some wolf”... she say wolf, but she really mean the devil. She say “there’s a wolf looking for your foot to come of the path and go wondering into the woods”. I’m here cause I be seeing them flowers that be in the woods. BEAT Don’t y’all see em? BEAT They be calling my name and I got to go get me some flowers. BEAT Funny thing though, when I get up on them, they never look like what they seemed like at first from the
path I was on. Gran say I got a wandering spirit, she say “take that wandering and turn it into seeking”; you know, seek the Lord. There’s probably some truth to what she be saying.
