Like I'm soaring through the sky like a bird or something.
Anything's possible in the theatre, Troy (Dilly) You can be whoever you want to be. There's not a star in heaven you can't reach, but you have to allow yourself to risk. That's true for the both of you, Ms. Montez. Oh, by the way, you can open your eyes now, Troy... We're not doing "Spider-Man Turn-Off The Dark" you know.
*All right - I'm offering you extra credit. (Dilly)
(A cell phone starts a wild musical ring.) Ah, the dreaded cell phone symphony returns to our crucible of learning! Sharpay and Ryan Evans, your phones please, and I'll see you in detention. We have zero tolerance for cell phones during class. So, we'll get to know each other at detention. Phone, please... and welcome to East High, Miss Montez.
*Mr. Danforth, this is a place of learning, not a football court. (Dilly)
Save your bilabial fricatives for someone of your own primitive esthetic. This year, as always, the Drama Club faces a dearth of male participants, so please come in and audition. I'm offering you the chance to spread your wings into bold new horizons. I'm offering you the timeless allure of the greasepaint, the magical power of the Klieg light!
... about teamwork, something they can use as adults.
Which is precisely what I am trying to instill in them.
But I've never had detention in my life!
Well then, Happy New Year!
*Wonderful, Troy. (Dilly)
Everyone else, help him before the ball crushes him under its weight!
"It's hard to believe"
Delightful!
Darbus, we are days away from the biggest game of the year.
GASP And we in the midst of auditions for our winter musical. *This school is about more than sweaty young men in baggy shorts flinging balls for buckets. (Dilly)
- I mean, I'll sing with her.
Troy Bolton? Where's your sport posse... Or whatever it's called?
*It's called a Ball of Noise, Coach Bolton. (Dilly)
I run my detention my way; you can run yours your way. These students need to be exposed to the arts by any means necessary.
SONG "You were always there beside me"
Such improvement from last year, James. Now don't be shy... Who's next?
Huh?
Your pathetic male ego is bent all out of shape because I put your stars in detention, so now you're getting even?
What are to talking about, Darbus?
Don't play dumb with me, Bolton.
(Detention. Ms. Darbus stands in the center of the Students gathered around her on the stage.)
Yes, my brave little detention menagerie, we thespians often use animals to help us build the characters we play. Be the bear! Be the ostrich! Be the monkey! You're all doing brilliantly! *Chum chum chum now, explore... Wait wait wait- Ryan, do you want to be an ostrich? (Dilly)
Troy doesn't even sing.
I guess you don't know your own son as well as you think you do. But I won't allow Juliet and Romeo to be made into a farce-
How, by making them scream at the top of their lungs?!
*Philistine! (Dilly)
"But you were always there beside me"
What an innovative choice of tempo! Next!
It's okay... ostriches are cool, I guess.
For Sharpay, maybe, but what about you?
What?
In all our years in the theatre, never have we encountered such childish, small-minded subterfuge!
You two, into the gym, right now.
*Detention is over for today. (Dilly) You've all done wonderfully. It was an honor and a privilege watching you risk, risk, risk. I expect to see some of you tomorrow afternoon at the auditions. Please remember to be on time. Scoot, now. You may collect your phones.
That could be tough for Chad, since he probably can't count that high.
Taylor and Tiffany, thirty-five minutes.
"You were always there beside me"
Delovely! Such vision, such risking!
"No, us!" END SONG
Ryan, Sharpay, very slick, very polished. You might want to work on some... Oh, I don't know... Some warmth?
"This feeling's like no other"
Brava!
Me?
Yes, unless you want to live the rest of your life in the shadow of your sister's ostrich...
-your honor, sir... because we have basketball practice after school and Troy is-
*That's thirty five minutes for you, too, Mr. Danforth, count 'em! (Dilly)
(Notices Troy's phone.)
*Mr. Bolton, I see your phone is involved. Splendid. We'll see you in detention as well. (Dilly)
And where is Bolton? That was an open question. I said-
How dare you?! (Dilly)
... and the First-Aid Club will be waiting for them down in the parking lot below. All for now, Peeps.
"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she." Thank you... thank you very much. Well once again they forgot to announce the auditions for the winter musical, Juliet and Romeo, written by our very own Kelsi Neilson. Kelsi, stand up and take a bow.
But I-
I'm afraid the individual auditions are long over. And well, there is no one to sing with you for the lead parts.
Save the speeches for the stage.
If you and your all-star son are planning some kind of practical joke in my chapel of the arts-
I'd like to audition, Ms. Darbus.
Oh, I'm so sorry, my dear, but timing means everything in the world of theatre. (Dilly)
Ms. Darbus!
Close 'em, I said! (Dilly) Now, don't think... Just say the first thing that comes to mind. How does it feel?
(The Students circle around her)
This is called the Ball of Noise. The idea is to pass around an invisible ball, while making some kind of sound to go with it. Once passed to the next person, the ball can land in any part of the body. You are limited only by your imaginations. I'll start. *Do whatever you feel, Troy. There are no wrong answers. Remember, you're only limited by your own imagination. Now go!
"I want you to know!"
Next!
Maybe not yet, my friend, but just wait!
Lovely work, all of you. James, I had no idea an earthworm could have such depth, such pain. *Now, gather in a circle for our last little exposure to the magic that is theatre. (Dilly)
"What I've been looking for" END SONG
Keep your eyes shut, Troy.
*This ain't my first time at the rodeo, kiddies! Shall the carnage continue? (Dilly)
Ah, saved by the bell. You may collect your phones after detention. Have a wonderful day.
I'm not playing!
Some very reliable sources told me all about your little plot to humiliate me and the Drama Club, and I am telling you it ain't gonna fly! (Dilly)
Like it's exactly what I heard in my head.
Bolton, Montez, you've got yourselves a callback. Kelsi, finish the finale... and work on it with them.
(The thespians start to pack up)
Well, my dears, it seems as if we are out of time. Any last minute sign-ups for Juliet? Romeo? Anyone? Pretty please? This is your last chance. Going once, going twice... anyone at all? No? Oh, well, then I suppose we're done for today. You were all incredible. Watch the bulletin board for callbacks, which will be held sometime next week.
"That I couldn't see"
Delicious!
(Kelsi sinks lower in her chair and hides her head behind a book. One hand rises tentatively to accept the very tepid applause from the class.)
It's a delicious neo-feminist adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tragedy of star-crossed lovers... with three - count 'em three - tap numbers! By thinking outside the box, Kelsi has brilliantly swapped out a tragic ending with a happy ending, in which the two lovers both live... and move to Albuquerque! It's simply bursting with sword fights, meddling parents and teenagers caught in the grip of forbidden love. *If you kids can't relate to THAT, I'll eat my gong. (Dilly) Now, there'll be single auditions for the supporting roles and chorus, as well as pair auditions for our two leads.
- you can't have them acting like idiots when they should be at practice!
They were not acting like idiots, they were acting like actors! If Troy and Chad were theatre performers instead of athletes, would you seek preferential treatment for them? I think not.
"But you were always there beside me"
Elen, I admire your pluck, but not as much as I admire those shoes. You simply must design our costumes! Next!
Actually... I'm here to sing with her.
Yes, well... I treat these shows just as seriously as your father treats his basketball practices. I called for the Juliet and Romeo auditions, and you didn't respond. I am very sorry, but now we've simply run out of time. You're out of luck, Jack. (Dilly)
The West High Knights have knocked us out of the playoffs for three years.
Yes, and despite your consistent track record of defeat, the school board still sees fit to allocate ten times the amount of money for school athletics as it does for the arts program.
"Till we reach the top! Bop to the top!"
Well, people, that was simply brilliant. You've given me hope for the future of the American theatre, you truly have. Now for the lead roles of Juliet and Romeo, we have... Only one pair signed up. Is that right? Oh, well... Ryan and Sharpay, show us your stuff.
Juliet and Romeo?
See! I knew it! Very well, Bolton, you leave me no choice: If Troy is actually serious about auditioning, he's going to have to prove it. I won't allow either one of you to make fools out of the Drama Club.
"You were always there besides me"
That's lovely, Susan. Such emotion, such... hum.. Joie de vivre! Next!
