It was now Spring once again in the small town of Ridgemont, and Ridgemont High was having its annual and much anticipated high school play. This time it would be Shakesphere's Romeo and Juliet. There had been a considerable amount of discussion and disagreement among the members of the committee in charge of play about the choice of the actors. Jill Hickson had originally been choosen to play the part of Juliet and Miles Johnson for her Romeo, but as fate would have it Jill contracted a virus and Miles was caught cheating on an exam which resulted in his suspension and his disqualification to play the part. All this took place just two days before the play, leaving the committee in a quantary. It was then that someone suggested that Miss. Thomas the beautiful young math teacher would be perfect for the the part of Juliet. Everyone seemed to agree and went along with this idea, and after a vote, she was choosen unanimously for the part. All that was needed was for her to except it, which she did. The choice for Romeo was more difficult. Everyone agreed that he would have to be tall and handsome and a straight A student, and there were not that many males at Ridgemont high who fit that bill. Several names were considered but rejected. Mark Davis was an excellent

Ricky Smith had been in a number of plays and was a really good actor, but he was blonde, and they needed someone who looked more Italian. The discussion continued until the day before the play was to begin, and anxiety was beginning to turn into desparation. In all this heated abate over Romeo, no one ever mentioned what everyone was thinking. Everyone knew that Roger Matin would make the best Romeo. He was tall dark and good looking, but since he had never been in a play, no one was really sure of his acting ability, but he was the high school heart throb and just about every girl swooned at just the thought of going out on a date with him, but he was also a rebel who flaunted the dress code, flirted with all the young teachers, and he had even been suspended once for starting a fight on the school grounds. Whats more everyone knew he had his eyes on Miss. Thomas, the hot little brunette math teacher. One time he whistled at her as she walked down the hall in a short skirt with her ass swaying. Everyone said she just turned around and gave him a sweet smile. Everyone also knew that she was tutoring him at his home,

This was all just talk and rumor, and because of the latness of the hour, the committee went ahead and did what under normal circumstances, it would never have done. It choose, by a narrow vote, to give Roger Martin the part of Romeo. There were also many details that needed to be figured out with so little time left to do it. Costumes had to be distributed, stage equipment setup, and to direct the play the the Engish teacher Mike Jones was choosen. He had directed a number of plays for the school and he could be trusted to get things done quickly. It was his decision, that because of the late hour, that the morning would be spent in rehearsal, and that there would be one more rehearsal just before the play started so that all the actors would remember their lines. He then came up with another innovative idea that was not to well recieved by the committee. Why not he thought, just tell the actors that it was a rehearsal, when it would be the real thing. He felt that this would make everyone much more relaxed then if they knew the real play had started. Even though the committee had a lot of
almanbahis casino questions and doubts, they went along with the idea. That day the tickets were sold and the play was set to begin at 7:00 Pm. The actors would be told that there would be two rehearsals. One would be at 5:00 PM and the other would be at 7:00 PM. Once the actors had started reciting their lines and were getting into the feel of it, the curtians would be raised, and they would then find themselves in front of a live audience, in which case they would either have to sink or drowned, but Mr. Jones had a philosophy that people do better when they are under pressure and*are forced to act spontaneously, but some were saying that this idea was just plain crazy. On the morning of the play the reshearal went so well*he could*not beleave it.*Miss. Thomas and Roger Martin turned out to be perfect for the part. Mr. Jones was smiling and thinking that after the play he would have an i told you so for all the ones who scoffed at his idea. The play would procede as follows: The curtains would rise at 7:15 PM. Romeo and Juliet would be the only ones on stage. Juliet would be on her balcony and Romeo on his knees, and the play would open with Juliet's familiar lines, Romeo Romeo where for art thou Romeo, and then the other actors would come in from the back stage with dancing and music, and the play would start at the time when the star crossed lovers first met and concluding with the final tragic scene. Everything went well with the 5:00 PM rehearsal.
