The Cast

Phil: The Academic

Advisor

Ross: The Student

The SettingPhil’s office at Grantland University: A Large, Public

Research University in the Southeast

SCENE 1:

Ross is not doing well in his calculus class, and he would

like to change his major to psychology instead of

engineering since he is doing well and really likes his

Psych class, but he knows that his parents will not help

him pay for college if he does not stick with engineering.

Ross asks Phil to lie to his parents and tell them that his

poor marks in calculus are not a big deal and that he is still

on track, just until he figures out what to do about

changing his major.

Scene 2:

Ross leaves Phil’s office, and Phil begins to mull over

Ross’ request of deceit.

Phil thinks about the potential repercussions that could

come of him lying to parents, but then he also thinks of

Ross’ desire to stay at Grantland, and his ultimate

happiness that depends on his changing his major…

Phil falls asleep as he is thinking and awakes to find some

uninvited guests!
