VICKIE - strong-willed, self-centered and demanding. She is willing to
accept any attention - even negative. She is loud, obnoxious and tells bad
jokes. We discover that she falsely thinks that her jokes can stop her
parents from fighting and resolve their differences. She comes to see that
all emotions are healthy and necessary.
JANET - kind-hearted and a loyal friend to William. She accepts
William's sensitivity and defends it. She has a positive self-image and has
never before had to deal with sexism. When limitations are put upon her,
she strives ahead, teaching the others the value of equality. She learns
abou t sharing and discovers her own jealousy.

RICHARD - has been raised believing in "old" stereotypical male/female
roles. Ije is reluctant to change and afraid to display his emotions. He
hides behind a fantasy world of sports superstars.

WILLIAM - sensitive and open. He is able to share his feelings easily
with others. He becomes a "new father" when he receives the doll that he
has been wanting for so long. He lets Vickie know that, "It's All Right to
Cry."

(At various points about the stage are the hats and various props which
make up the "Free To Be ... "world. Three-quarters of the way upstage is a
scrim which can be lit from the front to create moods and effects or can be
lit from the back to create a limbo area behind the scrim. There are also
flats which rotate on vertical axes and can be turned by the actors to suggest
different locations.)

She's got a truckload of trucks. In fact, Janet has so many Ullcks, she could

~arrator: Back in my hometown, I knew a girl named Delilah Bush. Every
once in a while, Delilah's mother would go away on a business trip. Delilah
looked forward to those times. She loved to be alone with her father.
Sometimes, Delilah's father went away on a business trip. That was fun, too.
Delilah and her mother would have long talks about all sorts of things. Once
a year, Delilah's father and mother went away on a vacation together. Those
were awful times. Those were the times that Grandma came to stay. Right
now was one of those times. Grandma was in the kitchen, making Delilah's
breakfast, and grumbling about it.
Grandma: (grumbling)
/01/; J ~
elilah: You don't have to do that, Grandma. I can make my own breakfast.
Narrator: Grandma took two eggs out of the boiling water.
Grandma: Never mind, it's already done. Here.
Delilah: Thank you.
Narrator: Said Delilah.
Grandma: Where are you going today?
Narrator: Her grandmother asked.
Delilah: To David's house ...to play.
Grandma: Like that?
Delilah: Like what?
Narrator: Delilah asked.
Grandma: In those dirty pants with a hole in the knee. You look like a
charity case.
Delilah: I'm comfortable.
Narrator: Delilah said with her mouth full of eggs. She was eating as fast as
she could.
Grandma: Don't gobble your food.
Delilah: I couldn't help it. ..it was so good.
Narrator: Delilah said as she finished. She was trying to make the best of a
bad thing.
Grandma: And don't talk with your mouth full.
Narrator: Grandma said.
Delilah: Okay, Grandma!
Narrator: Said Delilah.
Delilah: See you later.
Grandma: Why don't you comb your hair, at least before you go?
Narrator: Her grandmother asked.
Delilah: Why don't you leave me alone!
Narrator: Shouted Delilah at the top of her lungs. Her grandma looked
surprised, first. Then, she started to cry. Delilah looked surprised, too. Then,
she started to feel sorry.
Delilah: I didn't mean to shout, Grandma.
Narrator: She said softly. Grandma continued to cry.
Delilah: Please don't cry.
Narrator: Delilah said. Grandma stopped crying, but she wasn't ready to
forgive Delilah.
Grandma: Being old isn't easy, Delilah.
Narrator: She said.
Grandma: You'll see. When you get to be my age, you'll be just like me.
Narrator: Delilah didn't believe it for a minute. She knew she would be
different. But, she didn't say so. Instead, she said:
Delilah: I'm sorry, Grandma.
Narrator: And she really was.

I'd still rather have a new baseball. A doll?!
(RICHARD shakes his head as he picks up an iTrUlginary bat. Again he
serves as his own commentator.)
Two outs, bottom of the ninth. The pitcher throws the ball, I swing.
(He makes the sound of the ball hitting the bat.)
It's going ... it's going ... it's gone!
(He exits. WILLIAM sits down with his doll and starts to feed it.)
JANET ,s1\M
Hey, Wiiim, let's go to the park! We can sit in the sandbox and make a whole
city with this really neat pail and shove] that my dad used to play with when he
was a kid. He used to sit behind his house and dig up big, fat, juicy worms and
carry them in his pail to his room where he kept them in a big jar with his
underwear.
Your dad did that?
JANET
Ml
Yeah, when he was a kid. Or else we could play astronauts like my mom used to
do when she was a kid! We can make up a name for a cosmic planet and go
exploring through craters for space creatures with orange faces and 46 arms that
are made out of a rubbery type skin that stretches hundreds of feet and we have
to run from it so it doesn't gobble us up!!

Is a little play stove with pans and with pots.
Which he really must like' cause he plays with it lots.
WILLIAM
Then I guess he's a girl, ...
(Thinking)
Which kinda makes sense
Since he can't throw a ball, and he can't climb a fence.
JANET
Neither can my dad, and I know he's a man.
WILLIAM
My mom is a woman and she drives a van!
JANET
Maybe the problem is trying to tell
Just what someone is by what they do well.

Housework
You know, there are times when we happen to be just sitting there quietly
watching TV, when the program we're watching will stop for a while, and
suddenly, someone appears with a smile, and starts to show us how terribly
urgent it is to buy some detergent. Or soap, or cleanser, or cleaner, or
powder, or paste, or wax, or bleach, to help with the housework. Now, most
of the time, it's a lady we see, who's doing the housework on TV. She's
cheerfully scouring a skillet or two, or she's polishing pots till they gleam
like new, or she's scrubbing the tub, or she's mopping the floors, or she's
wiping the stains from the walls and the doors, and she's washing the
windows, the dishes, the clothes, or waxing the furniture till it just glows, or
cleaning the fridge, or the stove, or the sink, with a lighthearted smile, and a
friendly wink, and she's doing her best to make us think that her soap, or
detergent, or cleanser, or cleaner, or powder, or paste, or wax, or bleach, is
the best kind of soap, or detergent, or cleanser, or cleaner, or powder, or
paste, or wax, or bleach, that there is in the whole, wide world. And, maybe
it 'tis, and maybe it 'tisn't, and maybe it does what they say it will do. But,
I'll tell you one thing I know is true. The lady we see when we're watching
TV, the lady who smiles, as she scours, or scrubs, or rubs, or washes, or
wipes, or mops, or dusts, or cleans, or whatever she does on our TV screen,
that lady is smiling because she's an actress. And, she's earning money for
learning those speeches that mention those wonderful soaps, and detergents,
and cleansers, and cleaners, and powders, and pastes, and waxes, and
bleaches. So, the very next time you happen to be just sitting there, quietly
watching TV, and you see some nice lady, who smiles, as she scours, or
scrubs, or rubs, or washes, or wipes, or mops, or dusts, or cleans, remember,
nobody smiles doing housework but those ladies you see on TV. Your
mommy hates housework, your daddy hates housework. I hate housework,
too. And when you grow up, so will you. Because, even if the soap, or
detergent, or cleanser, or cleaner, or powder, or paste, or wax, or bleach that
you use is the very best one, housework is just no fun.
Children, when you have a house of your own, make sure that when there's
housework to do, that you don't have to do it alone. Little boys, little girls,
when you're big husbands and wives, if you want all the days of your lives
to seem sunny as summer weather, make sure, when there's housework to
do, that you do it together!

The "astronauts" fly the see-saw by lifting their end off the floor, and
punching imaginary controls.)

grandiose gestures to emphasize her speech. She is always fixing her hair to look pretty - and speaks very fast, hardly taking time to breathe.)
Hi. I'm Victoria Anne Vlassnick. Some people call me Vickie and some people
call me Vickie Anne. My mother calls me Victoria, especially when she wants me
to sit up straight. UVictoria, the Queen of England does not slouch on the

that their own situation is worst, occasionally talking at the same time. As
they begin, they sit at the opposite ends of -the see-saw. The character
speaking is at the highest point of the see-saw; when they talk at the same
time, the see-saw is in TTWtion.)

VICKIE
My brother's a pain. He won't get out of bed in the morning. My mother has to
carry him into the kitchen. He opens his eyes when he smells his oatmeal.
RICHARD
My sister thinks she's so great just because she's older which makes Daddy and
Mom think she's really smart. But I know the truth. My sister's a jerk.
VICKIE
He cries if I leave without him. Then Mom gets mad at me which is another
reason Why my brother's a pain.
RICHARD
My sister thinks she's so great just because she can play the piano and you can tell
the songs are real ones. But I like my songs better. Even if nobody ever heard
them before.
(The following two speeches are delivered simultaneously.)
VICKIE
He's got to be first to show Mom his school work. And she says ooh and ahh over
all his pictures. Which aren't great at all but just ordinary stuff. I don't
understand how my mother can say the Pain is lovable. She's always kissing him
and doing disgusting things like that. My father says the Pain is just what they
always wanted. I think they love him better than me.
RICHARD
My sister thinks she's so great. Just because Aunt Diana lets her watch the baby.
And tells her how much the baby loves her. And all the time, the baby is sleeping
in my dres~er drawer. My mother hugs my sister and messes with her hair and
does other disgusting things like that. My father says the Great One is just what
they always wanted. I think they love her better than me.

everybody about myself.
Narrator: In a little while, Dudley saw the girl next door.
Dudley: Hi. My name is Dudley Pippin. I live in the yellow house next door.
My father's name is Mr. Pippin, and my mother's name is Mrs. Pippin. I
have a lot of other relatives, and they all have names, too. My mother has a
saxophone, but two keys are broken, and once I fell on my head, and I had,
if you look, three stitches right here.

fNaomi: Wow!
Dudley: And my father cut his nose this morning while he was shaving. He
says that our name is in the telephone book, and that means that our name is
all over the city, in every place that has a telephone. And, I was in an
airplane once, and I have a finger painting set, a red bicycle that used to be
my father's, and a ball of tinfoil, five inches across.
Naomi: Wow! My name is Naomi. Do you have a friend?
Dudley: No. We just moved here. I don't have a friend.
Naomi: I don't have a friend. And Irvin Gland across the street doesn't have
a friend, either. We play together, because neither of us has a friend.
Dudley: Let's have a club. Only people who don't have a friend can belong.
Naomi: We'll call it the "No-Friends Club".

jus a little bit older. One day at Dudley's school, the sand table tipped over.

~eacher:
Dudley Pippin.
~~dley: I didn't do it.
Narrator: But, his teacher didn't believe him. And she made him stay a long
time after school.
Dudley: (mumbling) .. .I don't care. I didn't do it.
Narrator: Dudley was very angry. Finally, he was allowed to go home. On
his way, Dudley met the principal.
~nciple: Hello, Dudley.
Narrator: He had a long nose and fierce eyes.
Principle: People are saying you tipped over the sand table at school today.
Narrator: Dudley just shook his head. He was too angry to say anything. It
just wasn~t fair.
Principle: You mean you didn't do it?
Narrator: Dudley could only nod again.
Principle: Well, we'll have to do something about that first thing tomorrow.
You look like you're about to cry.
Dudley: Not me. (Starts to cry)
Principle: Well, that was fine.
Dudley: I'm ...I'm sorry.
Principle: What for? You did that very well.
Dudley: But, only sissies cry.
Principle: A sissy is somebody who doesn't cry; because he's afraid people
will call him a sissy if he does cry.
Dudley: Well, I'm.. .I .. .I'm all mixed up.
Principle: Of course you are. Why should you be any different from anybody
else? Most people spend their lives trying to get un-mixed up.

A brave pnncess? You mean a brave pnnce.
VICKIE
No. I mean a brave princess.
(As the narrator throughout the story.)
Once upon a time, not long ago, there lived a princess named Atalanta. who
could run as fast as the wind.
(She takes a robe and crown and gives it to JANET.)
-34~,
She was so bright and so clever and could build things and fix things so
wonderfully that many young men asked the King for her hand in marriage.
(She places a crown on RICHARD's head and covers his shoulders with a
cape. JANET stands center stage as Atalanta.)

powerful and used to having his own way.

RICHARD
I have decided how to choose the young man you will marry. I will hold a great
race, and the winner - the swiftest young man of all - will win the right to marry
you.

VICKIE
Now, Atalanta was a clever girl as well as a swift runner. She saw that she might
win the argument and the race, too.
JANET
Very well, but you must let me race along with the others. If I am not the winner,
I will accept the wishes of the young man who is. If I am the winner, I will choose
for myself what I will do.
VICKIE
The King agreed to this. He was pleased - he would have his way, marry off his
daughter and enjoy a fine day of racing as well. So he told his messengers to

travel throughout the kingdom announcing the race with its wonderful prize
- the
chance to marry the bright Atalanta.
(RICHARD exits. JANET pantomimes the following as VICKIE continues.)
As the day of the race drew near, flags were raised in the streets of the town.
Each day at dawn Atalanta would go to the field, in secret, and run across it
slowly at first, then fast and faster, until she could run the course more quickly
than anyone had ever run it before.
(JANEl' pantomimes sneaking out of the castle and running across the [ield.)
As the day of the race grew nearer, many young men gathered in the town. Each
one was sure that he could win the prize, except for one - that was Young John,
who Ii ved in the town.
WILUAM
(As YOUNG JOHN throughout the story: thinking to himself.)
Surely it is not right for Atalanta's father to give her away to the winner of the
race. Atalanta herself must choose the person she wants to marry or whether she
wishes to marry at all. Still, if I could only win the race, I would be free to speak
to her and to ask her for her friendship.
VICKIE
.s
Each evening after his studies of the stars and the seas, Young John went to the
field in secret and practiced running across it until he could run the course more
quickly than anyone had ever run it before.
(WILliAM pantomimes running across the [ield. RICHARD enters and
stands in front of his throne: WILLIAM eXits.)
At last the day of the race arrived. and all the young men gathered at the edge of
the field along with Atalanta. The King rose and addressed them all.

Everyone ran across the field. At first they ran as a group, but Atalanta soon
pulled ahead with three of the young men close after her. As they neared the
halfway point, one young man put on a great burst of speed and seemed to pull
ahead for an instant, but then he gasped and fell back. Atalanta shot on.
(A flat with many racers painted on it is rolled along with JANET to depict
her competitors. When WILLIAM pulls away from the group, the flat rolls
off and WILLIAM and JANET continue the race through the aisles of -the
theatre, then return to the stage to cross the finish line:)
Soon another young man, tense with effort. drew near to Atalanta. He reached
out as though to tOUCh her sleeve, stumbled for an instant, and lost speed.
Atalanta smiled as she ran on.
JANET
I have almost won!
(WILLIAM runs on from offstage, gaining on JANEl'.)
VICKIE
But then, another young man came near. TIlis was Young John, running like the
wind, as steadily and as swiftly as Atalanta herself.
(WIUIAM has alnwst caught up to JANET.)
Atalanta felt his closeness, and in a sudden burst of speed, she dashed ahead.
(JANET bursts ahead.)
Young John might have given up at this, but he never stopped running. Nothing
at all Would keep him from winning the chance to speak with A~anta. And on he
ran, swift as the wind.
(WILLIAM catches up to JANET and is directly along side of her.)
JANET & WILUAM
Until he ran as her equal, side by side with her, toward the golden ribbon that
marked the race's end.
VICKIE
Atalanta raced even faster to pull ahead ...
(JANET fights to pull ahead.)
... but Young John was a strong match for her.

Very well, Young John. You have not won the race. but you have come closer to
winning than any man here. And so I give you the prize that was promised - the
right to marry my daughter.
WILLIAM
Thank you, sir, but I could not possibly marry your daughter unless she wished to
marry me. I have run this race for the chance to talk with Atalanta.

JANET

And I could not possibly marry before I have seen the world. But I would like
nothing better than to spend the afternoon with you.
(JANEl' and WILLIAM cross the stage together, and sit down in animated
conversation as VICKIE speaks.)
VICKIE
The two of them sat and talked on the grassy field. Atalanta told Young John
about her telescopes and pigeons. and John told Atalanta about his globes and
studies of geography. At the end of the day, they were friends.
(Now EVERYONE/aces VICKIE as she moves to center stage.)
The next day John sailed off to discover new lands ...
(WILLIAM exits, whistling a sailing song.)
... and Atalanta set off on horseback to visit the great cities.
(JANET picks up the golden ribbon and, using it as horse reins, she gallops
offstage after WILLIAM.)
By this time, each of them has had wonderful adventures. Perhaps one day they
will marry. and perhaps they will not. In any case, they are friends. And it is
certain that they are both living happily ever after.

setting the beat by clapping. Eventually RICHARD joins the beat and
realizes the importance of equality.)
