OVERVIEW
3 actors walk on to the stage in unison. They begin to speak from right to left, using one word each. They ask the audience to ask a question. The audience then calls out a question and the 3 actors answer it as if they were 1 person. After the answer, they say “next question please.” When they are finished, they say “one final question please.” Then they bow and leave the stage. Actors may repeat the question or let an MC say the question so the whole audience can hear it.
