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
BOYS
Who is already sick and pale with grief
BOY 1 (LUCAS?)
That thou her maid art far more fair than she
BOY 2
Be not her maid, since she is envious
PETER
Her vestal livery is but sick
BOYS
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, thou not a Montague
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot
NADIA
It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face
IVY
O, be some other name belonging to a man
NADIA
Hey, what's in a name?
IVY
That which we call a rose
By any other name
GIRLS
Would smell as sweet
IVY & BOYS (Simultaneously)
My only love sprung from my only hate
&
Thy drugs are quick, thus with a kiss I die
SISTER CHANTELLE
I think I’ve seen all I can stand to see
IVY
Oh sister I…
SISTER CHANTELLE
Straight trip it girl, I know you didn’t just interrupt me
IVY
But…
SISTER CHANTELLE
And what’s with the warm ups
No light 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
PETER?
Attempt
JASON
Thy kinsmen are no stop to me
SISTER CHANTELLE
If they do see thee, they will murder thee
JASON
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Twenty of their swords: thou but sweet
And I am proof against their enmity
GIRLS
I would not for the world they saw thee here
JASON
I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes
MATT
And but thou love me, let them find me here
JASON and MATT
My life were better ended by their hate
JASON
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love
IVY and TANYA?
By whose direction found'st thou out this place?
JASON
By love, that first did prompt me to inquire
SISTER CHANTELLE
That’s it! Enough! I’ll go make my decisions; be back in a few
IVY
Sister, can I….
SISTER CHANTELLE
Girl, what is wrong with you?
PETER
What made you change your mind?
JASON
I thought I should try
NADIA?
You nailed it
IVY
Unforgettable
MATT?
One talented guy
LUCAS
Reminder, we'll need a time insured by Friday night
????
We’ll be there
Ivy?
You’re not going are you?
????
_____
?????
I don’t know. Am I?
BOYS
Remember back when all we needed was beer?
NADIA
When we were freshmen and everything was clear
IVY
Except your skin
LUCAS?
No more Catholics 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
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

NADIA?

NADIA?
I don’t think you see me
Ivy?
And you think you know me

Did you really hear me?
???
Would you really call?
???
And you think you see me
PETER?

NADIA
But you didn’t hear me

NADIA
See me
JASON?
And you think you know me
JASON
Hey, congratulations
CLAIRE
Hello?
PETER
Mom, we both got cast and we’re in the show
CLAIRE
Best friends playing best friends, how poetic...
PETER
I knew that you would want to know
CLAIRE
Well you know I love you either way, but I love you more now
PETER
Oh mom, here’s Jason, say hello!

Sure thing. I love you mum
