This thought-provoking short play offers several powerful, dramatic roles for actors.
In a simple waiting room, people arrive at their appointed time to face the unknown of what lies beyond an ominous closed door. Earl Trent, an older man, arrives early and is instructed by the businesslike receptionist to wait till his time. Scared about why he was summoned to the waiting room, he encounters people of all ages arriving at their assigned time. From all walks of life, each person he meets has followed a unique journey to get to this moment... their time to die. Some never saw it coming, others knew all too well that their time was coming, and a few even welcomed it.
As he waits, watches, and visits with the others in the waiting room, Earl gains both insight and courage about the meaning of life that brings him to his moment of finally going through the door.
