Finale Scene Dialogue

FINALE

ALL

Students come DS and form a line.  (8th graders are in the middle of this line.)

CHLOE

Bullying is the intentional - physical, emotional, verbal or virtual - abuse...

WILL

("cutting Chloe off") Abuse meaning any form of torture, pain, harassment, hurt etc., 

TAYLOR

That is inflicted upon a person by another person, or a group of people...

CHARLOTTE

(picking up right on the end of Taylor's line) In order to make themselves feel superior.  

ELISE

Many bullies take pleasure from putting others down. 

LIAM

Often the “cause” of being bullied is a person’s:

-Religion or Beliefs

HANNAH

-Race

DAN

-Sexual Orientation

LIZ

-“Looks,” you know like how you (someone) dress(es)...

KENNEDY

-As well as Mental and Physical Disabilities.

MORGAN

Bullying has no regard for age, race or gender. 

VICTORIA

It can occur at school, 

RYAN

at home, on the bus,

KAITLIN 

at the mall, in the work place etc...

CHARLOTTE

Today we would like to show you that we believe bullying is wrong, in any form - physical, verbal or virtual.  

LIZ

We want to encourage everyone - young and old - to step in and stop it when you see it happening.

DAN

Together we are here to say that the students of Greenville Central School are NOT going to simply stand around.

LIAM

When you leave this auditorium, whether you are walking the halls, hanging at the mall, relaxing with your friends, working or whatever ... know that you can do something to stop situations where bullying is occurring.  

KENNEDY

Students can always go to Ms. Fisher, Mrs. Klob or Mr. Reeve to address any bullying they see or experience.

HANNAH

Please, be the change you wish to see in this world.

ALL

Word.  Pause.  Any questions?

Time for questions.  All participants should sit on the edge of the stage for the Q&A.

Improv Scene Dialogue

SCENE 4 - ON IMPROV

Bus scene is setting up during the improv dialogue.

LIAM 

(think teacher character for this, and you can have this written out if need be...)

Improv is a form of theatre where the actors make up the “script” in the moment.  Sometimes, like today’s performance, once these initial ideas are created, they are rehearsed over a period of time to make sure the beginning, middle and end - as every story must have these parts - is clear.  Other times the actors are told, by their audience, what they are to act out and the improvise (or make up) the scene on the spot.  Everything seen here today has been created by US.

For example....(improvise and instruct your fellow ghetto actors to get into ghetto character and then begin the dialogue below)

LIAM

What up ya’ll let’s talk improv ghetto style.

KAITLIN

Word dawg.  But I heard improv is mad hard yo.

KENNEDY

Pshhhh, it’s easy peasy.

LIAM

Improv is just taking a situation and making it up as you go.

RYAN

There’s a few rules ya gotta follow.  First one: don’t think, just do.

MORGAN

I’m good at not thinking gurl.

LIZ

Yo second rule of improv is to say: 

GROUP

Yes and ... (5 count pause Liam - remind them you're all ghetto right now) what!

DAN

That means you always go with the flow yo.

VICTORIA

Third rule of improv is to justify your actions.

DAN

That means your words and actions gotta live in harmony dog.

HANNAH

Fourth rule of improv says: be clear to your audience and your partners.

DAN

That means it gotta make sense ya’ll.

GROUP

Word.

MORGAN

The most important is to have fun ya’ll.

DAN

Yeah, but it’s time to get back to our main mission gang.

Rehearsal NEXT Week

Hello everyone,

It has been brought to my attention that the High School musical auditions are taking place on the stage next Wednesday, therefore we will arrange a different after school rehearsal date.  Mrs. Raskopf is going to check the school calendar to make sure we schedule a free afternoon.

Hope to have the date solidified by tomorrow.

Thanks.
