Overture

Prologue - "I have a dream."

Sophie:
I have a dream
A song to sing
To help me cope
With anything
If you see the wonder
Of a fairy tale
You cantake the future
Even if you fail

(She kisses and posts 3 envelopes as she reads out the names from the envelopes)

Sam Carmichael
Bill Austin
And Harry Bright
Good Luck....
