[doug, spoken]
ok, here we go!

[bud, spoken]
whoo! this is exciting!

[doug, spoken]
welcome to gutenberg!

[bud, spoken]
gutenberg… the musical!

[doug, spoken]
i’m mr. doug simon

[bud, spoken]
i’m mr. bud davenport

[doug, spoken]
we’ve written an exciting new show, and tonight, we want to present it for the very first time!

[bud, spoken]
but hopefully not for the last time!

[doug, spoken]
no;
with any luck, we’re hoping to take our show… to broadway!

[bud, spoken]
and as many of you already know, there are, in the audience tonight, some very big broadway producers!
so… tell them to produce our show!

[doug, spoken]
now*

[bud, spoken]
yes

[doug, spoken]
*writing a musical is not easy

[bud, spoken]
hats off to you elton john!

[doug, spoken]
but we did it!
i wrote what we call the book of the musical

[bud, spoken]
and i wrote the music
and the lyrics… well…

[both, spoken]
we wrote those together!

[doug, spoken]
so you’re probably sitting there and thinking to yourself
“okay, so you wrote a musical…
but what is it about?”

[bud, spoken]
i dunno doug
why don’t you tell us?

[doug, spoken]
alright, i will! it’s about johan gutenberg!

[bud, spoken]
who’s he?

[doug, spoken]
well, he’s the guy who invented the printing press

[bud, spoken]
and then printed up a bunch of copies of the bible

[doug, spoken]
now, what you’re gonna see tonight is what we call a “reading” of a musical
that means there’s no set, no costumes, only a few props, and no cast!

[bud, spoken]
it’s just me and doug

[doug, spoken]
right!
now, before we get started, we do want to take a second
to talk about something pretty serious
and that’s the holocaust
every important musical has to tackle at least one very serious issue

[bud, spoken]
like racism

[doug, spoken]
or vietnam

[bud, spoken]
or a man with half a face

[doug, spoken]
yes
our show is set in germany
so our serious issue is the holocaust

[bud, spoken]
germans hate jews!

[doug, spoken]
well… not all of them…
most of them!

[bud, spoken]
maybe not anymore…
but they used to!

[doug, spoken]
that hatred… is in this show

[bud, spoken]
it has to be!

[doug, spoken]
because it makes our show… important
and now…

[both, spoken]
gutenberg the musical!
