[She declaims loudly, practicing a monologue]
Depression is the relative from out of town that anxiety thought
to bring to the party.
SISTER ANGELICA:
Ooh, I have company! It gets lonely, being a ghost.
[ISADORA – PERHAPS COMMENT ON DRAMA GIRL’S MONOLOGUE, AND HOW
STUDENTS HAVE CHANGED IN THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS]
Oh, here comes the paranoid girl who’s the only one who can see
me. She vibrates at a pretty high frequency.
PARANOID GIRL:
Oh. It’s the drama queen.
PARANOID GIRL:
I have my reasons. Um, have you seen anything strange? Or heard
anything?
PARANOID GIRL:
Like, the ghost.

BOSSY DRAMA GIRL:
What ghost?
PARANOID GIRL:
[ISADORA – HOW ABOUT SOME LURID TALE HERE?]
SISTER ANGELICA:
You kidding me? I only died from an aneurysm in my sleep, no big
deal. It didn’t even hurt.
.
PARANOID GIRL:
Didn’t you hear that?
SISTER ANGELICA:
You’re the only one who can hear me, dear. It’s because you have
a special gift. Nobody else can see or hear me. Guess you are
special.

IDENTITY? YOU SURELY KNOW BETTER THAN I DO WHAT ISSUES YOU’RE
FACING – AND SISTER ANGELICA COULD GIVE A RUNNING COMMENTARY...]
EMMA (DRUNK):
Oh my god Jenae, I am SO happy we are doing this! It’s going to
be so fun! And I was able to get Hannah, my roommate to come!
Let’s get this party started!
BLONDE:
I’m so glad we left that other party. I had a bad feeling about
some of those guys there.
SHY ROOMMATE:
I’m not sure why you took those drinks from them… It seemed like
they just wanted to get you wasted. And they wouldn’t stop
touching you.
EMMA (DRUNK):
Oh, leave her alone. She just got dumped for like the fifth
time. She deserves to forget about her problems tonight.
BLONDE:
I don’t know, I agree. She seems drunker than she should after a
few drinks. You guys don’t think they put anything in her
drinks, do you…?
VICTIM:
(VICTIM slurs her words)
I’m fine, I’m fine! Everyone just stop worrying about me. I just
wanna have a good time!

[enter DJ and GROUPIE]
[VICTOR AND DELANEY – COULD BE SOMETHING VERY POIGNANT HERE –
FUNNY, BUT VERY TOUCHING. WHY IS SHE SO NEEDY? WHY IS HE SO
AVOIDANT OF A RELATIONSHIP?]
EMMA:
Jenae, why are you getting so tired?! We JUST got here, come on!
VICTIM:
I’m getting so sleepy... [passes out]
PARANOID GIRL:
Oh no! It’s Professor Flutesnoot. We’re all going to get kicked
out of Dominican!
SISTER ANGELICA:
Oh oh! Flutesnoot! She’s so tight, when she farts, she squeaks!
--OR--
Oh no! It’s the professor! She is so strict, there is no way
this party is going to last very long after this!

PROFESSOR FLUTESNOOT:
What’s going on here!
EMMA (DRUNK):
OMG! Flutey! What’s up? We’re just studying because Pennafort is
SO loud right now! Hey hey, is that midterm on Wednesday going
to like totally drop my grade if I don’t ace it?
PROFESSOR FLUTESNOOT:
Is Jenae alright?!
EMMA (DRUNK):
Oh my gosh, yeah! She’s just super tired from our crazy study
load this weekend, thats all! She’s fine, you can go now!
[SARAH – GOOD PLACE FOR A RANT. YOU COULD IMITATE (AND MOCK) THE
LEAST FAVORITE TEACHER YOU’VE EVER HAD...]
PROFESSOR FLUTESNOOT:
That’s it! I’m calling Security.
SISTER ANGELICA:
Ooh! It wouldn’t be as lonely if there was another ghost around
here.

PROFESSOR FLUTESNOOT:
SGT. SCHWARZENEGGER:
EMMA:
I had nothing to do with this MA’M! I was the one who was here
first to practice my lines, but all of them just barged in in
the middle of my practice!
I told you we shouldn’t have come here! Why couldn’t you have
just taken me on a regular date!
Jock Snob:

SGT. SCHWARZENEGGER:
Whoa Whoa Whoa! Hold it right there! How old is this girl? Is
she at a legal age to drink? Are you all minors?
Paranoid Girl:
Who is she talking to?! Why are we in trouble?! She just drank
too much and took some pills!
Drunk:(Angry!!!)
Don’t talk to her like that! She is my friend! Don’t you dare
tell her to shut up!
SGT. SCHWARZENEGGER:
She took pills too?! Don’t you kids know not to mix pills and
alcohol?! This is getting a bit too crazy now! Someone call 911!
She could be in serious danger!
