Auditions

[MATT]
But soft what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east and Juliet is the sun
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon

[LUCAS & ZACK]
Who is already sick and pale with grief

[ALAN]
That thou her maid art far more fair than she

[ZACK]
Be not her maid, since she is envious

[PETER]
Her vestal livery is but sick

[MATT, ALAN & ZACK]
And none but fools do wear it
Cast it off, cast it off

[IVY]
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot

[NADIA]
It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face

[IVY]
Oh, be some other name belonging to a man

[NADIA]
Hey, what's in a name?

[IVY, KYRA, DIANE, NADIA & TANYA]
That which we call a rose (By any other name)
Would smell as sweet

[IVY & TANYA, DIANE & RORY, NADIA & KYRA, PETER, MATT & LUCAS]
My only love sprung from my only hate, from my only
(Think of marriage now, think of marriage now)
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead, he's dead)
(Thy drugs quick, thus with a kiss I die)

[SISTER CHANTELLE]
I think I've seen all I can stand to see

[DIANE, spoken]
Oh, sister, I—

[SISTER CHANTELLE]
Straight tripping girl
I know you didn't just interrupt me
And what's with the warble
Snow White in the house
You're quite a dancer
Too bad you opened your mouth
I have a Romeo who's well-rehearsed
Then there's the rest of you
The show has got to be cursed
This play's a tragedy without a doubt
Now are there any other fools here to make me fall out?

[JASON]
With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls
For stony limits cannot hold love out
And what love can do that dares love

[MATT]
Attempt thy kinsmen are no stop to me

[SISTER CHANTELLE]
If they do see thee, they will murder thee

[JASON & MATT]
Alack

[MATT]
There lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords

[JASON]
Look thou but sweet
And I am proof against their enmity

[KYRA, DIANE, NADIA & TANYA]
I would not for the world they saw thee here

[JASON]
I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes
And but thou love me, let them find me here

[MATT & JASON]
My life were better ended by their hate

[JASON]
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love

[IVY, KYRA, DIANE, NADIA & TANYA]
By whose direction foundst thou out this place?

[JASON]
By love, that first did prompt me to inquire

[SISTER CHANTELLE, DIANE]
(sung)
Enough, shut up

(spoken)
I'll go make my decisions, I'll be back in a few
(Please) Girl, what is wrong with you? (i>Can I have one more chance—)

[Sister Chantelle exits]

[PETER]
What made you change your mind?

[JASON]
I thought I should try

[TANYA]
You nailed it

[NADIA]
Unforgettable

[MATT]
One talented guy

[LUCAS]
Reminder, we'll meet in Tanya's room on Friday night

[PETER]
We'll be there

[NADIA]
You're not going are you?

[LUCAS]
Get me orders

[MATT]
I don't know, I might

[LUCAS & JASON]
Remember back when all we needed was beer?

[NADIA]
When we were freshmen and everything was clear

[IVY]
Except your skin

[LUCAS]
No more cat fights once we leave for the rave

[NADIA]
Then put the princess in the trunk

[IVY]
If we drag her behind, I'll behave

[Sister Chantelle reenters]

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
I'm gonna announce the cast list now
And I don't want any drama until the first rehearsal
You got that?
You all did very well
And of course everyone is guaranteed a spot in the chorus
Principals: Nurse, Nadia McConnell

[NADIA]
Surprise...

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
I said no drama
Or you're gonna need a nurse
You got that?

[NADIA, spoken]
Yes, sister!

[SISTER CHANTELLE, DIANE, spoken]
Benvolio, Lucas Carter
Tybalt, Matthew Lloyd
Romeo, Jason McConnell
Juliet, Ivy Robinson
Lady Capulet, Tanya Garrett
Lady Montague, hmm
Diane Lee, does your father have a camcorder?

[Sister Chantelle exits, and the characters go into a dream-like space]

[ALAN]
Hear my voice

[DIANE]
Did you really hear me?

[ZACK]
Hear my voice

[KYRA]
I don't think you see me

[RORY]
And you think you know me

[ALAN]
Did you really hear me?

[ZACK]
Would you really know me?

[RORY]
And you think you see me

[ALAN]
Hear my voice

[JASON]
And you think you know me

[NADIA]
But you didn't hear me

[JASON]
And you think you know me

[NADIA]
See me

[The dream-space is ended, and the characters are back in reality]

[JASON]
And you think you know me

[MATT, spoken]
Didn't know you were auditioning

[JASON, spoken]
Well, neither did I, decided this morning

[MATT, spoken]
Just like that, huh?

[JASON, spoken]
Yup

[MATT, spoken]
Well, congratulations

[Claire enters, as she and Peter are on the phone]

[PETER]
Mom, we both got cast, we're in the show

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Best friends playing best friends, how poetic

[PETER]
I knew that you would want to know

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Well you know I would love you either way, but I love you more now!

[PETER]
Oh Mom, here's Jason, say hello

[CLAIRE, spoken]
What? Oh, okay

[PETER]
No, never mind, we have to go

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Call me with dates Peter
The whole family will come
Even your father, I'll make sure of it

[PETER, spoken]
I love you Mom

[CLAIRE, spoken]
And I love you Peter
Excelsior!
