I DREAM BEFORE I TAKE THE STAND

I Dream Before I Take the Stand, by Arlene Hutton, is a short one-act (roughly 20 minutes) that is at once an aburdist drama and dream play of sorts. A woman dreams about the upcoming trial of the man who sexually assaulted (and possibly raped) her in the park one not-so-typical morning on her way to work. The piece focuses on the woman's subconscious and begs the question "Is the woman responsible for the attack against her?" and throws a critical eye onto court practices that allow such personal questions as what clothing the woman was wearing to be asked within the courtroom.

This was a very interesting play in which you can witness how a good lawyer and his skills can change everything around in a courtroom, everything though if the defendant is entirely wrong.

JOSE RIVERA (TAPE DRAMA)

Rivera was born in the Santurce section of San Juan, Puerto Rico in 1955. He was raised in Arecibo where he lived until 1959. Rivera's family migrated from Puerto Rico when he was 4 years old, and moved to New York. They settled down in Long Island, whose small town environment would be of an influence to him in the future. His parents were very religious and he grew up in a household whose only book was the Bible. His family enjoyed telling stories and he learned a lot by hearing these stories. As a child, he also enjoyed watching The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits T.V. series. He received his primary and secondary education in the New York state public school system. In 1968, when Rivera was 12 years old, he saw a traveling company perform the play "Rumpelstiltskin" at his school. Witnessing the collective reaction of the audience towards the play convinced the young Rivera that someday, he too, would like to write plays.
