“ A Picnic Indoors”
INTRODUCTION TO ACT I
Today on TUNING IN THE U.S.A., Robbie Stewart is in the kitchen with Alexandra Pappas. She is teaching him to make stuffed grape leaves, a traditional Greek dish. They are getting ready to go on a picnic with some friends, and they are planning to take the food and share it. While the grape leaves are cooking, Alexandra teaches Robbie a Greek dance. They hope to teach the dance to their friends. It looks as if the picnic will be a great success, but there’s just one problem.

Robbie: OK, Alexandra. Here you go. Two cups of finely chopped onions. That means very small pieces… like this.
Alexandra: Oh, Robbie. You did a nice job.
