An Evening of One-Acts by Jason Miller

It's a Sin to Tell a Lie

Two people, an old man and an old
woman, meet in their doctor's waiting room. They begin a casual conversation,
and soon find the friendship and concern for another human being which they
both need so desperately.

Circus Lady

The "Circus Lady" of the
title is a grossly fat woman who has been reduced to living in squalor and on
welfare while overwhelmed with fears that the rapist-killer who has terrorized
the area is coming for her next. Her son, fed up with their slovenly existence,
is about to leave her. In the end she is alone, resigned to her fate, and
tragically aware that it is of her own inevitable making.

Lou Gehrig Did Not Die of Cancer

Victor Spinelli, a frustrated athlete
who now works for his domineering father, finds his greatest satisfaction in coaching
a little league baseball team. His relationship with his wife, who is
preoccupied with acting in amateur theatre, is growing cool, but he finds a
kindred spirit in the mother of one of his team members, who comes by to ask
that Victor show more concern for her bench-warmer son. As confidences are
exchanged, we sense that out of the bitterness and failure that both have known
a new and promising liaison is forming for them.
