Opera Buffa Americana

no 1. Overture
The curtain opens and the scene is a happy one, an American suburbia park, like Central
Park in New York City. People are stroling along, taking in the sights, buying ballons,
and having a grand time. The setting is the 2000's before the terrorist attack so everyone
is carefree, two people in particular, A BUSINESSMAN and HIS WIFE: CHARLES and SCARLET.

They look around at the STREET VENDORS and watch STREET PREFORMERS who are MIMING.
