    About this ebook

    Neighbors Three – Return of the Movie Star is a three-act play to be performed on a stage in front of an audience. Honey Solomon has returned to rural Pennsylvania after acting in a Hollywood movie. Her traveling companion, Tynan Gillespie, is also an actor. Both plan to act in an Ibsen play in summer theater. Tension develops between Tynan and Greg Desantos, Honey’s old boyfriend. Esther Solomon insists that if Tynan is to stay at their home, then he has to be a waiter at her new restaurant, The Happy Pumpkin. All the young people work at The Pumpkin, and discord quickly prevails. Then, in the middle of a dispute between Greg and Tynan, Honey is injured. Tynan encourages Honey to continue in her summer theater role, where she ultimately succeeds. Does Greg's jealousy lead to Tynan's defeat?

    David Heyman

    David C. Heyman, M.D., retired after forty-three years in the medical practice of anesthesiology. Renewing his interest in creative writing, he is now pursuing ideas that he recalls from talking with patients, raising four children, and keeping up with current events.His first printed book is Money Grows on Trees! Economics for Teens, in which his main motive was to tell his grandchildren how hard their parents had to work to provide for them. Next, he wrote two eBooks—the first two plays of a series called Neighbors—based on families in rural Pennsylvania during the gas-drilling boom. Recently, he wrote Slip of the Tongue, a dark morality play about a small-town radio talk-show host. Coming soon will be a series of iconoclastic, humorous stories called Ether Frolics.He lives in Montoursville, PA, and enjoys reading and participating in local cultural events. He also plays the piano for challenge and relaxation.

Downstage left is a door to the kitchen marked Staff Only. The unfinished décor is bright, modern and cheery. Billy and Esther are alone on stage. They pause and listen to Greg's first song.

      Greg: Singing Just Hold On (See Appendix Song 1)

      "Hold on to a love affair

      And just repair what's wrong

      It's much easier to be with her

      Than be dreaming all alone.

      "She, too, has her lonesome days.

      And some dark memories

      Let her know you care

      And just be there

      When she finally comes home.

      "I know the reality

      The superficiality

      Things are not what they seem

      Oh-no-no-no. (Fade)

      "Just think of those good times to come

      And just hold on

      You need your integrity

      And your believe-a-bility.

      "Don't count the days

      That she's been away

      She's coming home soon

      Soon-so-o- soon." (Fade)

      Esther: Isn't Greg amazing? He's going to be more than a waiter. I think he will become a great entertainer!

      Billy: If you say so. Was he singing about our daughter?

      Esther: Perhaps. But he's allowed to use poetic license.

      Billy: "I hope so. But let's stop and look at this place. It's beautiful! I don't see how you did it
