In Act I, the stage manager observes that the townspeople are burying a time capsule and indicates what the characters in the play feel will best represent their society to the future. Jaydn discussed what she would place in a time capsule and what she felt would best represent her-her personal journal. We then examined how the playwright would concur that a personal journal of one's everyday triumphs and disappointments best repesents a society, even more than an important historical document. We further discussed how and why the characters in the play ignore the town's obvious social problems. Last, Jaydn discussed the role of the image of moonlight in highlighting the play's theme of appreciating all of the quotidian things in life.
