SCENE
A cluttered and somewhat unkempt dorm room
in a university Residence Hall.
Stage right: an unmade bed
Stage center, upstage: an office chair
Stage left: a student desk
Wall posters abound,
as do many signs of life, especially
snack foods, beverages - and laundry!

CHARACTERS
Three university coeds:
STEPHANIE, a soprano
awaits an online posting of grades
from one particular professor.
JENNIFER, a mezzo-soprano
is unhappy about the plans
her boyfriend has made for them;
JESSICA, an alto
seeks permission from her father
for a weekend trip. |
As the opera opens:
Stephanie is on the bed, stage right,
her laptop computer open; she is intent.
Jennifer is snugly tucked into the office chair texting on her cell phone.
Jessica sits at the desk
speaking sotto voce on her cell phone. |
