Story Rewrites

THE PARTY

Log line: Mr. Gatsby is a secretive man. What will happen when three people go back in time and uncover his past? Will they tell his secrets and dismantle his facade? 

 Characters:
 Kevin- Max
 Kara- Ellie
 Imani- Lily


Act 1: (starts at Max's House on a three way phone call with Ellie and Lily)
Max: Hey guys! Are you done getting ready for  tonight? (fixes his tie)
Ellie: Yeah, I'm so excited (looks through her closet)
Lily: Me too! I am almost ready! (fixes her hair)
Max: Okay, I will be on my way to pick you guys up.
Lily & Ellie: Thanks Max! See you then. ( hanging up the phone)

Act 2: (everyone is in Max's car headed to the party)
Lily: I am very curious about this, Gatsby. (furrowing her eyebrows in confusion)
Ellie: Yeah, isn't it odd that we know nothing about him?
Max: Relax guys, no one knows him that well. He's (stops to think)
a mystery.
Lily: Hmm, I wish I could figure him out.
Ellie: I wonder what his past was like!
Max: Can you all just be excited for the party and stop with all your investigative questions? He's a private man, let him be. I'm sure he is just like the rest of us.

Act 3: (Currently at Mr. Gatsby's house party)
Ellie: This house is beautiful. Look at the vintage paintings!
Max: This is the best party I have seen in years! ( raising his voice)
Lily: Let's go get some refreshments.
Max: Good idea Lily! (Getting excited)
Ellie:(After gulping down the last bit of her drink) I wonder if Gatsby is actually here.
Lily: I don't know but I feel dizzy!
Max: Yeah me too!
Ellie: Is the room spinning?

(Lily, Max, and Ellie are stuck in a spinning room and began to rise through a tornado like portal)
