Prologue:
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
...

SCENE 1: ROMEO and his friend are both looking at a phone when a notification comes on to the
projector saying “Can’t wait for Juliet’s sweet sixteenth!”
ROMEO: Heigh! Cast thy eyes upon this! *shows phone*
FRIEND: Fair Juliet is hosting a gathering! How fair! Shall we dare to attend?
ROMEO: Crashing a rich fish mongers gathering? Grand!
*hi-fives friend*
SCENE 2: At the Party
...
You know Jules, he has the hots for you, plus, he’s
cuuuuuuuuute
...
But if you don’t snap him up…*creepy face* I will
(pause)
MUM: Well you guys are lame
...
*leaves
stage*
JULIET: Gosh, she’s so embarrassing!
MUM: I HEARD THAT!
NURSE: Anyway birthday girl, wanna drink?
JULIET: Yeah sure, just keep an eye out in case she’s on the prowl again
...

MUM: I’m not deaf!!
JULIET: You’re pretty old though
*leaves stage*
SCENE DIRECTS TOWARDS ROMEO AND HIS FRIEND ENTERING
FRIEND: Ahhhhhhh, the ladies
...

ROMEO: How strange be it that I have not laid eyes upon fair Juliet, yet I feel my soul reach for
hers?
FRIEND: Aren’t all fish of the same sea?
*JULIET walks by, ROMEO spies her*
ROMEO: Is that not the finest damsel that you have ever seen?
FRIEND: Far fairer the maiden by the door (mum)
ROMEO: But she? Who is she? See her smile is brighter than the sun
...
Is not Rosaline your betrothed?

ROMEO: I am well aware of my relationship with her, alas, I count it as naught compared to the
hand of that fine maiden by the door
...

JULIET: I’m sorry, what?
FRIEND: He means fair maiden that he finds you beautiful and attractive
ROMEO: For your hand I will provide eternally for you and your offspring
...
See you around… *goes to walk away*
ROMEO: My fair maiden, I ask you to stay! The feeling in my soul is inexplainable
...

Your grace, your beauty
...
I’m Juliet
...

JULIET: *interrupts* You have a girlfriend?
ROMEO: If I might have your hand
...
So I’m gonna go but… *takes
phone*
...
*leaves and goes to friend*
NURSE: What took you so long?!
JULIET *looks at NURSE like she’s stupid*
NURSE: Let me rephrase that
...
guy I met
...

NURSE: He’s a Montague! We can’t hang with him! Surely you know that your mum hates his
parents!
JULIET: I had no idea
...
I don't understand how an attractive guy like him *looks
at Romeo who is doing something embarrassing or gross* could be from such a horrible family!
NURSE: Unless you want to ruin your reputation as a rich, popular, capulet student you should
just leave him alone
...

STAGES LIGHTS GO DIM AND THE BALCONY SCENE BEGINS
SCENE 3
Girls are having a sleepover after the party, and ROMEO and friend pay a visit
...

O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
...

NURSE: Stop speaking to yourself Jules! Get inside so we can have some ice cream and you can
get over that stupid Montague!
FRIEND: Romeo, let’s go, you know we aren’t supposed to be here
...

What's in a name? Chocolate cookie dough icecream
by any other name would taste as good;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
still be super tasty
...

ROMEO: I take thee at thy word
...

JULIET: Omigosh! Romeo’s in my garden!
NURSE: Shoot! what if your mum sees?
JULIET:
I haven’t even heard you say a hundred words yet
but I know it’s you
...

JULIET:
They’re actually going to kill you!
ROMEO:
I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes,
And, but thou love me, let them find me here;
My life were better ended by their hate
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love
...
*to Romeo* I lo
...

Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from
their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks
