MRS. SWEENEY

I remember back in September, You were so nervous to start High School.

MARGRET

It was a lot less harder than I thought, Right Betty?

(Betty is preoccupied with her Magazine.)

MARGRET

Right Betty?!

BETTY

What?

MARGRET

This year was a lot easier than we thought, Right?

BETTYOh Yes, I was not looking forward to learning Algebra.

MARGRET

Would you just listen once in a while instead of reading that Magazine?

BETTY

I'm sorry, It's just so addicting.


7/67

MARGRET

I was more concerned about Science than Algebra.

MRS. SWEENEY

I remember when I was in High School, It was a One Room school house.

BETTY

Must have been awfully crowded.

MRS. SWEENEY

Not as Many People went to school dear.

(Rhonda Enters.)

RANDY

Yeah, We'd be happy to help!

MRS. SWEENEY

It's not just that. Rhonda is plenty of help but I can't afford to keep the shop up anymore.

Ever since Todd died things have been really tough around here. And I got a great offerfrom Rosalie McClanahan.

MARGRET

ACT ONE- SCENE 2Outside The Warehouse

(The Three sit on the Curb In Unison with the last note of the song, The lights come up in

unison also to reveal the three on the street in front of the abandoned Warehouse.)

BETTY

I've Got It!


13/67

(All jump up with smiles on their faces.)

MARGRET

What is it Betty?

BETTY

What about a Variety Show?

RANDY

That Just Might Work.

MARGRET

Sure It Would be fun, But Who would pay to see a bunch of kids sing and dance?

RANDY

This can't be just any variety show.

BETTYWhat Do you mean?

RANDY

If we want people to come and pay money to see the show we have to give them theirmoneys worth.

MARGRET

How?

RANDY

We should write our own songs, produce huge musical numbers!

BETTY

You mean, something like the Follies?

RANDY

Exactly like the Follies!

MARGRET

The Oakville Follies!

RANDY

That's what we'll do, We'll stage the Oakville Follies.

BETTY

Oh, That sounds so wonderful!

MARGRET

It would be really fun, and I think people would enjoy it. But where is it going to takeplace?


14/67

BETTY

We could do it at my house.

MARGRET

No way, You dont have room. Plus its not very professional to do it at one of our

houses. Are we going to have the whole town in the backyard?

RANDY

Could we rent a place somewhere?

BETTY

With what money?

MARGRET

Shes right.

(The three sit down on the curb, They are out of ideas. Rhonda Enters.)

RHONDA

Y'all are looking for a place? I know somewhere.

MARGRET

Where?

RHONDA

Turn around.

(The three around to see an abandoned warehouse.)

BETTYWhat a great idea!

MARGRET

The abandoned warehouse?

RHONDA

Yes.

RANDY

That's a wonderful idea!

MARGRET

A Wonderful Idea?!?!

RANDY

I Know It seems impossible, But we can do it if we work really hard. Of course it needs alittle clean up but I think we could do this.

MARGRET


15/67

You really think this will work, dont you?

RANDY

I dont think it'll work, I know it'll work!

BETTY

Oh Come on Margret.

MARGRET

Well If youre going to do this, Youll need my help!

BETTY

I knew youd do it Margret.
