BACK STAGE
Johns "office" is a shelf in a niche out the back with the props.When Jacqui walks out, she is still taken back by the enormity of the storage / props area.
She looks and sees his desk lamp is on.
There are enough dust covered lamps hanging to light the area but she doesn't step any further.
JACQUI
'John. John.'
Listens in hope then lets out a sigh.
FOYER
Kristie checks with cashier and front end staff then walks out the back.BACK STAGE
Jacqui has walked all the way through to the back of the building to the very end and she can "see" where he has gone.She rolls her eyes.
JACQUI
'John?'
She leans over the railing of a set of stairs to below ground.
She has never liked this area but this is where everybody will find John.

'Don't forget the stage crew need those ties and ropes and those sparky things for the second act ok?'
She stands upright and waits silently.
Her eyebrows raise, she rocks on her heels.
'Stopping pissing around. Are you there? Come in John.'
Her phobia for tight spaces is controllable but she is a doer and is very persistent.

She holds onto the railing both sides, takes a deep breathe and starts descending.
The single dusty lamp hangs above the stairs.
Her shadow darkens the steps as she continues descending and remembers the light switch is just to the left at the bottom.
The railing can be seen but the floorboards below are blackened from wear.
