The Montana Scene

The Montana scene essentially involves a narrator telling the story of a man who moves out of a city because he's afraid of getting shot, settles in montana to open a health food store, marries "the rose of Horsehead, Montana." He is then shot by the maniacal man who has been in love with this woman for 15 years.

Right now, my vision is that the story will be told three times, using the same text. The scen will be mimed in the back three times, but each time the three different characters will be assigned different roles from Melodrama/Comedia/Vaudeville.
For example, the first time, the woman will be the Damsel in Distress, the city man will be the hero, and the MontanaMan will be the villain.
The next time, the MontanaMan will be the Damsel in Distress, the CityMan will be the villain, and the Woman will play the hero.
this might all sound quite confusing now, but I believe that as things develop, this will become a good thread throughout the show... we can intersperse the scenes.
