The Happiness Police
By Jester.

Materials:
One gothic-appearing Actor
8-10 Jackbooted thug looking Actors
8-10 Black Military style uniforms with Riot Helmets
16-20 Yellow HappyFace Stickers
One Boombox loaded with the Smurfs theme
One bag stuffed with Care Bears or other disturbingly cute Stuffed animals
One copy of Edgar Alen Poe Poetry
One Theatre of Reality business card

Staging:
Get your Actors in the Military dress.
Place the Happyface stickers on the sides of the Riot Helmets.
Get your Gothic Actor sitting by a tree at your local university campus in a high traffic area.
Have your ThugActors in a van or other concealable place about 100-200 feet from your GothActor.
Have your Goth actor tack the Theatre business card to the tree and lean on it while sitting, reading the book of Poe-try.

Performance:
Have the Gothic actor reading the poe-try book, looking all down and depressed. Sigh, smoke a clove cigarette, play up to gothic stereotypes. The ThugActors come out of 'nowhere' jackbooting and barking military orders. Have the Thugs take the Gothic and place him in an armlock. Throw him face down in the dirt. The thugs begin pelting him in the head with the stuffed animals while playing the Smurf theme repetively on the boombox placed in front of him. After about 3-4 minutes of this, the Goth gets up, smiling, and skips away. The Thugs reenter the van and drive off. No more is said about what transpired. If anyone asks the thugs what's going on, have the thugs respond "Happiness Police. Official Business." Have hin stare intently at the question asker, and say "Are YOU happy?"
