SECRETARY: Not to worry! Here's your schedule. Your first class starts in -- 1 minute and 12 seconds.
LIBRARIAN: Here's a map of the school. (She unscrolls a HUGE map.) You go down the hallway, and take a right…
SECRETARY: No! You go down that hallway and take a LEFT! LIBRARIAN: Oh! Right! SECRETARY: NO! Left, then right! Then you go up the stairs.
LIBRARIAN: Then it's halfway down the next hallway, Room 316. Right?
SECRETARY: Right!
SECRETARY/ LIBRARIAN: Got it?
MORRIS: Um…
SECRETARY/ LIBRARIAN: Good! CUE SCHOOL BELL S.E. (S.E. TEAM)
STUDENT 1: Incoming! 2 / 20 SONG: NEW KID
A LITTLE DIRECTION: This song features a cast of characters including Morris, Secretary, Librarian, Students 1-4, a Pair of Bulls, and a Pair of "Bullies." Easiest staging option: Put at least one microphone at either side of the stage and block scenes around them. For instance, STUDENT ONE can run across stage after the school bell, sliding to a stop in front of mic to say, "Incoming!" The Pair of Bulls can say first lines at stage left microphone, run and bump into Morris, and say next lines (with Secretary/Librarian) into stage right microphone.
