Enter MRS. GILCHRIST (a middle-school drama teacher, snapping fingers
in "showbiz" style).
MRS. GILCHRIST: Students, wake up! I need to see action! I need to see
movement!
Scene: It is 7:20 a.m. at the Flood Middle School auditorium in Englewood. |
Rehearsal will last exactly 45 minutes. This is no time for yawning,
slouching or scratching.
MRS. GILCHRIST: Come on, people. (Snap, snap!) Let's take it from the
opening song. |

The opening
song--as well as the rest of the two-act, ninety-minute drama--takes place
at Pete's Luncheonette, a squeaky-clean junior-high hangout that has suddenly
turned very, very strange.
