Wednesday, April 27th:
Rehearse and present scenes:
Dorm Life: Makenzi, Kamron, Kayla, Michelle, Nancy, Cooper,
Beverly
1st Act: Common Room in College
Freshmen Orientation – Beverly, the college dean, is leading a tour of the common room for
the freshmen girls. Cooper, campus nerd, is there trying to study. A group of popular kids are pointedly
excluding him and planning a party.
2nd Act: Wild party in dorm. Cooper complains to
the T.A., played by Christian, who tells the kids to quiet down. Beverly shows up as the dean with
Cooper, and the kids immediately put on the “good studious kids” routine.
Makenzie, who was in the bathroom, comes out, not knowing what’s going on, and
spoils it when she starts yelling “Where’s the music? What happened to the
party?” Beverly, enraged, tells
the kids to report to the dean’s office first thing tomorrow.
3rd Act: The next day in the Dean’s office. The kids
are very angry with each other – everyone is blaming and arguing with each
other. Cooper enters and the kids
begin yelling at him. Dean Beverly enters and tells them to “pipe down” because
if it hadn’t been for him, they would have been all expelled. Beverly tells
them he was the one who pleaded with her not to expel them. After she leaves, he says he just
wanted to be friends with them, that’s all. When they reluctantly agree to be his friends, he
gets overly excited and ruins it.
Finish the rest of the scenes tomorrow.
