SIDE 1

(KELSI bumps awkwardly into SHARPAY.)

 

 

Oh, sorry... new glasses. Anyway, I mean... if you do the part, with that particular song, I was hoping you'd

 

 

 

 

If we do the part? Kelsi... Kelsi darling, I've been in seventeen school productions. And, let's see, how many shows have you written?

 

 

 

 

This is the first.

 

 

 

 

Which tells us that ?

 

 

 

 

You are the more powerful witch?

 

 

 

 

It tells us that you do not offer direction, suggestion, or commentary. Are we clear?

 

 

 

 

Yes, sir I mean, Sharpay.

 

 

 

 

Nice talking to you. Love the glasses.

(SHARPAY and RYAN exit.)

 

 

 

 

SIDE 2

(The school bell rings. SHARPAY and RYAN enter and look at the callback sheet on the bulletin board.)

 

 

 

 

Is this some kind of sick joke? They didn't even audition! Someone's got to tell that new girl the rules.

 

 

 

 

Right. Rule Number One:

(SHARPAY lays down the Five Rules of Successful Cliquedom, as if the whole school were listening:)

 

 

 

 

Pick the right clique.

 

 

 

 

Two:

 

 

 

 

Act like your clique.

 

 

 

 

Three:

 

 

 

 

Dress for your clique.

 

 

 

 

Four:

 

 

 

 

Know where your clique clicks.

 

 

 

 

And Rule Number Five:

 

 

 

 

Stick to the status quo!

(SHARPAY and RYAN run off.)

 

 

 

 

SIDE 3

 

 

The Jocks and the Brainiacs mingling in study hall?!?
 

They're up to something! Ryan, we need to save our show from people who don't know the difference between a Tony Award and Tony Hawk.
 

But how?
 

I'll tell Darbus that Troy and his dad want to sabotage the auditions because she gave him detention.
 

But it's a big fat lie! Besides, she'll never believe that.
 

She'll believe anything I tell her because I'm the president of the Drama Club. Now come on!

(SHARPAY races off to find MS. DARBUS. RYAN follows close behind, shaking his head.)
