Our first workshop in Ioannina
We'll meet again in a project meeting (workshop) in Ioannina, Greece from April 3rd to 10th, 2008. Students and teachers from all participating countries and schools will have common rehearsals and work together on the plays selected to be presented to the audience of this city of NW Greece. These plays are: "The desk of Rock" from the Greek school, "Sparkling stars*" from the German school, "My school years" from the Lithuanian school and "Friends in Izmir" from the Turkish school. The performance of the plays is arranged to take held at the DI.PE.TH.E. of Ioannina theatre, the Municipal Peripheral Theatre of Ioannina, on Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 at 8 p.m. Our workshop also includes an Ancient theatre Archaeological itinerary to the Ancient Theatre of Dodoni, the Ancient Nicopolis or Necromanteion and the picturesque sea resort of Parga. Students from 4 different countries of Europe will have the chance to meet each other and develop friendship that can last after their school years. Meeting each other is a way to overcome xenophobia and promote mutual respect and peace between peoples. So our project unites students and teachers from different cultures in a common scope, to express themselves through theatre. You'll have our news after the project meeting. Just wish us "success":-)...

(Craig thinks a bit)
Craig: Ohm no.
Peter: Then I am going to send a limousine to your house.
(Craig goes away and Charlie and Peter go the opposite way)
Charlie: So where do you live?
Peter: Just around the corner.
Charlie: What? And for this short distance you want to send a limousine?
Peter: Um.. yeah… why not?
Charlie: I don’t know maybe because it is expensive.
Peter: No, the limousine belongs to my family so it is not expensive.
Charlie: What, you have got a limousine?

(Peter is showing Charlie his house when suddenly the doorbell rings)
Charlie: That must be Craig
Peter: Let’s go to the entrance
(Peter and Charlie go to the entrance)

Craig: What?
Charlie: Surely about Christine.
Craig: And?
Peter: Who thinks that Christine is interesting?
(Peter and Craig look at Charlie)
Charlie: Yes, I find that she is nice.
Peter: And you? (looks at Craig)

Peter: Because I want her to be my girlfriend.
Charlie: And what about us?
Peter: I don’t know.
Craig: But I want her as girlfriend, too!

Charlie: (annoying voice) Well done, Peter. Nowshe is going to be the girlfriend of no one of us
Christine: I didn’t say that I don’t like you boys but that is too fast, and I can’t be the girlfriend of the three of you
Craig: We could have a competition to see who is the best and to see who you like the most.
Peter: We could see who has the most money of us.
Charlie: No that is unfair. We could see who is the best at sport.
Craig: That is unfair; too: We could play a video game and see who is the best.
(The boys go on arguing wildly when suddenly Christine yells)

Janine: Oh, it’s nothing.

Joshua: Hm, this night is very nice and quiet, isn’t it Margo?
Margo: Oh, yes it is, Joshua.
Joshua: This night is so nice, it shouldn’t end.
Margo: Well, I like the sun more than the moon.
Margo smiles. Then Glen appears.
Glen: Hey Margo, it’s very cold, isn’t it? Let´s go into the tent before we catch cold.
Margo: I think that’s right. Good night, Joshua.
Joshua: (hesitantly) Good night Margo.
Scene 5:
The next morning. After breakfast Janine and Joshua go back to their tent. Margo and Glen are standing in front of it.
Glen: Margo.
Margo: Yes, what’s wrong?
Glen: Margo, I don’t like to see you with Joshua.
Margo: But we just talk when…
Glen: Margo, I just want the best for us. You know.
Margo (sighs) Glen, I will do what you say.
Then Joshua comes.
Joshua: Margo, have you got some time to talk?
Glen: We are sorry but we haven’t got any time, have we, Margo?
Margo: Oh, we really haven’t got any time and we must go now.
Pedro comes into the tent.
Pedro: And Janine, how do you like Joshua?
Janine: Oh, he is very friendly. We often talk to each other.
Pedro: OK I must go now, because I have to plan something. It’s a secret.
Janine: Ok Pedro, see you soon.
Pedro leaves the tent. He goes back into his tent.
Scene 6:
Pedro speaks to the children.
Pedro: Ok, today we want to hear what you think about our camp. Have you a got question? A wish? Or something else?
Glen: Yes, I have a question. We just stay into our tents. Will there be any activities?
Pedro: I have planned a trip, but real activities, no.
Joshua: Can you tell us about the trip, please?
Pedro: I am sorry, but no.
Joshua: Why not?
Pedro: I can’t tell you that. Go back to your tents now.
Margo and Glen are very quiet. Then Janine wants to speak with the two.
Janine: Why are you two so quiet? Have you a problem? Can I help?
Glen: Shut up!
Joshua: Hey, Janine just wanted to help you!
Glen: Leave us alone! We want to stay alone!
Joshua: Shut up, or, or …
Glen: Or what?
Joshua: Then you will feel my fist in your face!
Pedro appears.
Pedro: Don’t fight you two! Haven’t you two got any discipline? Maybe you two should go to bed earlier then the others! Go to bed now!
Pedro leaves the tent. Margo and Janine go to bed.
Margo: Let us be friends, ok?
Janine: Yes, ok. It was just a fight about the boys.
Glen: Hey, what is that supposed to mean?
Margo: Who fought? Us or you two?
Glen: Sorry, but I don’t care. I want to know what you meant!
Margo: I mean that you two should go to bed.
Joshua: I think that’s the best thing we can do.
Margo: Ok, good night.
Janine: Good night.
Scene7:
The next morning. Margo and Janine leave the tent. Glen and Joshua are now alone in the tent.
Glen: I know what Margo meant yesterday. She meant that it was just your fault. You must say Joshua, I am very clever, don´t you think so?
Joshua: You know that’s not true Glen! You shouted, not me!
Glen: Be quiet! What you are saying is as stupid as you are!
Joshua: Ah, shut up you silly thing! You can just fight, can’t you?
Glen: No, but you can just fight, can’t you? Well, I won’t speak with a guy who is as silly as, as … as you!
Then Pedro comes in.
Pedro: How often must I say it? You shouldn’t fight!
Joshua: I thought we are friends Glen, but it was wrong to think that. I won’t speak a word with you again, Glen!
Glen: Nice, I will do the same…
Pedro: That’s enough!
Joshua: I understand you, Pedro. I´m going.
Joshua leaves the tent.
Pedro: And you, Glen, tell me what happened!
Glen: Ah, he said that I am silly, but he is just jealous that I am more intelligent than he is!
Pedro: And that’s all?
Glen: Yes, it is.
Pedro: Ok.
Pedro leaves the tent.
Scene 8:
Joshua walks up to Janine and Margo. He wants to talk to them.
Joshua: Hi Janine, hi Margo.
Janine: Hi Josh, what’s wrong?
Joshua: Oh, it’s all right.
Margo: And what’s with the noise from the tent?
Joshua: Oh, that was nothing. But how are you two? Are you fine?
Margo: Yes, everything´s cool. But what was going on in the tent?
Glen hears the conversation. He is getting angry. Glen goes to the others.
Glen: Hey, what are you saying, Joshua?
Joshua: I said I won’t speak a word with you. What do you want?
Glen: Leave Margo alone!
Joshua: Hey, what …
Then Glen pushes Joshua. Joshua falls. He doesn´t say a word.
Janine: Pedro! Please come!
Scene 9:
Pedro comes. He looks at Joshua, then at Glen.
Pedro: What happened?
Glen: Pedro, I …
Pedro: Leave us alone. Go!
Glen goes back to his tent.
Pedro: Joshua, are you all right? Can you hear me?
Joshua groans.
Joshua: Ah, yes, I´m okay.
Pedro: I think the best thing for you is to go to my tent.
Joshua: Ok Pedro.
Pedro and Joshua go to Pedro’s tent. Janine and Margo go to Glen because they want to know why he has done that.
Janine: Why did you do that?
Glen: You two must understand me. I don’t want to lose Margo!
Margo: You already have. I don’t want to be with someone who is as evil as you are!
Glen: But Margo, I…
Margo: Not but, it’s over.
Margo leaves the tent. Glen is very sad.
Janine: Glen, I can understand you, but what now?
Glen: I don’t know what I should do. Leave me alone, please.
Janine leaves the tent.
Scene 10:
Now Glen is alone. He thinks what he should do.
Glen: That’s all Margo’s fault! Without her Joshua and I would be friends. But could it be my fault, too? I would get along with Joshua, but I … No, no and no! It can´t stay like is. I don´t want to get along with Joshua, but… enough! I want to stay away from then until the time is good for… I don’t know for what!
Scene 11:
In the afternoon Pedro speaks to the others. It’s about the “trip”.
Pedro: Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will go on a trip. I just want to remind you because I was sure that you would forget it. Now go back to your tents!
Glen, Margo, and Janine go back to their tents. No one says a word. Then Joshua comes in.
Janine: Joshua, are you fine?
Joshua: Yes, I am fine. And what about you?
Janine: It’s all right, isn´t it, Margo?
Margo: Yes, it is.
Janine: Well, has Pedro told you about the trip?
Joshua: No, he hasn’t. What did he say?
Margo: He said that the trip was tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Joshua: Thank you.
Suddenly Pedro shouts.
Pedro: Joshua, Margo, can you two come to me, please?
Margo and Joshua leave the tent.
Glen: Hey, Janine, I need your help.
Janine: What’s wrong, Glen?
Glen: I don’t know what I should do. Should I make peace with Joshua?
Janine: Well, I think you should.
Glen: I will make peace with him when it’s the right time.
Janine: I think that’s a good idea…
Margo and Glen come in.
Margo: Pedro says that the trip will be tomorrow evening. Isn’t that great?
Janine: Yes, it is a good change.
Joshua: I think the best thing I can do now is to sleep. Good night everyone.
Margo: I think for me it’s the best, too. Good night Janine, good night Joshua.
Janine: Good night.
Scene12:
Janine and Glen leave the tent.
Glen: Now I am not sure.
Janine: Damn, but I think it’s the best time for it.
Glen: Ok, but how can I reconcile with Margo? I don´t want her as an enemy.
Janine: I could speak with Margo if you want.
Glen: You would do that for me? Thank you very much Janine! I don’t know what to say!
Janine: It’s okay Glen. I will do that in the morning. Good night, Glen!
Glen: Good night, Janine!
Glen and Janine go into the tent
Scene13:
The next morning Janine wakes up Margo earlier than usual.
Janine: Hey Margo!
Margo: (yawning). What’s going on, Janine?
Janine: I must talk to you, Margo.
They both leave the tent.
Margo: Ok, what do you want to tell me?
Janine: I want to ask you what Glen must do to get back together with you.
Margo: I think if he and Joshua were friends again, I would take him back! Tell him that.
They go back to the tent.
Scene 14
Joshua leaves the tent. But suddenly he falls. He can’t move.. He can´t shout. Glen is near him. He sees what happened. He helps Joshua and he brings him to Pedro’s tent.
Scene 15
When Joshua regains consciousness, no one is in the tent. He feels better than before. When he leaves the tent he sees Glen.
Glen: Well rested?
Joshua: Oh, Glen, did you help me?
Glen: I just did my duty. And I have a question.
Joshua: What is it?
Glen: Would you be my friend again and for ever? Like in old times?
Joshua: Oh yes, I would!
Janine and Margo come.
Margo: Pedro told us what you have done. Will we be best friends for ever like before the fight?
Joshua: Yes, we will!
Janine: Now everything is okay!
Pedro comes.
Pedro: Yes it is. And now it’s a happy …
…end.

Margo: Well, I like the sun more than the moon.
Margo smiles. Then Glen appears.

Margo (sighs) Glen, I will do what you say.
Then Joshua comes.
Joshua: Margo, have you got some time to talk?
Glen: We are sorry but we haven’t got any time, have we, Margo?
Margo: Oh, we really haven’t got any time and we must go now.
Pedro comes into the tent.

Pedro: I have planned a trip, but real activities, no.
Joshua: Can you tell us about the trip, please?
Pedro: I am sorry, but no.
Joshua: Why not?
Pedro: I can’t tell you that. Go back to your tents now.
Margo and Glen are very quiet. Then Janine wants to speak with the two.
Janine: Why are you two so quiet? Have you a problem? Can I help?
Glen: Shut up!
Joshua: Hey, Janine just wanted to help you!
Glen: Leave us alone! We want to stay alone!
Joshua: Shut up, or, or …
Glen: Or what?
Joshua: Then you will feel my fist in your face!
Pedro appears.
Pedro: Don’t fight you two! Haven’t you two got any discipline? Maybe you two should go to bed earlier then the others! Go to bed now!
Pedro leaves the tent. Margo and Janine go to bed.
Margo: Let us be friends, ok?
Janine: Yes, ok. It was just a fight about the boys.
Glen: Hey, what is that supposed to mean?
Margo: Who fought? Us or you two?
Glen: Sorry, but I don’t care. I want to know what you meant!
Margo: I mean that you two should go to bed.
Joshua: I think that’s the best thing we can do.
Margo: Ok, good night.
Janine: Good night.
Scene7:
The next morning. Margo and Janine leave the tent. Glen and Joshua are now alone in the tent.
Glen: I know what Margo meant yesterday. She meant that it was just your fault. You must say Joshua, I am very clever, don´t you think so?
Joshua: You know that’s not true Glen! You shouted, not me!
Glen: Be quiet! What you are saying is as stupid as you are!
Joshua: Ah, shut up you silly thing! You can just fight, can’t you?
Glen: No, but you can just fight, can’t you? Well, I won’t speak with a guy who is as silly as, as … as you!
Then Pedro comes in.
Pedro: How often must I say it? You shouldn’t fight!
Joshua: I thought we are friends Glen, but it was wrong to think that. I won’t speak a word with you again, Glen!
Glen: Nice, I will do the same…
Pedro: That’s enough!
Joshua: I understand you, Pedro. I´m going.
Joshua leaves the tent.
Pedro: And you, Glen, tell me what happened!
Glen: Ah, he said that I am silly, but he is just jealous that I am more intelligent than he is!
Pedro: And that’s all?
Glen: Yes, it is.
Pedro: Ok.
Pedro leaves the tent.
Scene 8:
Joshua walks up to Janine and Margo. He wants to talk to them.
Joshua: Hi Janine, hi Margo.
Janine: Hi Josh, what’s wrong?
Joshua: Oh, it’s all right.
Margo: And what’s with the noise from the tent?
Joshua: Oh, that was nothing. But how are you two? Are you fine?
Margo: Yes, everything´s cool. But what was going on in the tent?
Glen hears the conversation. He is getting angry. Glen goes to the others.
Glen: Hey, what are you saying, Joshua?
Joshua: I said I won’t speak a word with you. What do you want?
Glen: Leave Margo alone!
Joshua: Hey, what …
Then Glen pushes Joshua. Joshua falls. He doesn´t say a word.
Janine: Pedro! Please come!
Scene 9:

Pedro: What happened?
Glen: Pedro, I …
Pedro: Leave us alone. Go!
Glen goes back to his tent.
Pedro: Joshua, are you all right? Can you hear me?
Joshua groans.
Joshua: Ah, yes, I´m okay.
Pedro: I think the best thing for you is to go to my tent.
Joshua: Ok Pedro.
Pedro and Joshua go to Pedro’s tent. Janine and Margo go to Glen because they want to know why he has done that.
Janine: Why did you do that?
Glen: You two must understand me. I don’t want to lose Margo!
Margo: You already have. I don’t want to be with someone who is as evil as you are!
Glen: But Margo, I…
Margo: Not but, it’s over.
Margo leaves the tent. Glen is very sad.
Janine: Glen, I can understand you, but what now?
Glen: I don’t know what I should do. Leave me alone, please.
Janine leaves the tent.
Scene 10:
Now Glen is alone. He thinks what he should do.
Glen: That’s all Margo’s fault! Without her Joshua and I would be friends. But could it be my fault, too? I would get along with Joshua, but I … No, no and no! It can´t stay like is. I don´t want to get along with Joshua, but… enough! I want to stay away from then until the time is good for… I don’t know for what!
Scene 11:
In the afternoon Pedro speaks to the others. It’s about the “trip”.
Pedro: Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will go on a trip. I just want to remind you because I was sure that you would forget it. Now go back to your tents!
Glen, Margo, and Janine go back to their tents. No one says a word. Then Joshua comes in.
Janine: Joshua, are you fine?
Joshua: Yes, I am fine. And what about you?
Janine: It’s all right, isn´t it, Margo?
Margo: Yes, it is.
Janine: Well, has Pedro told you about the trip?
Joshua: No, he hasn’t. What did he say?
Margo: He said that the trip was tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Joshua: Thank you.
Suddenly Pedro shouts.
Pedro: Joshua, Margo, can you two come to me, please?
Margo and Joshua leave the tent.
Glen: Hey, Janine, I need your help.
Janine: What’s wrong, Glen?
Glen: I don’t know what I should do. Should I make peace with Joshua?
Janine: Well, I think you should.
Glen: I will make peace with him when it’s the right time.
Janine: I think that’s a good idea…
Margo and Glen come in.
Margo: Pedro says that the trip will be tomorrow evening. Isn’t that great?
Janine: Yes, it is a good change.
Joshua: I think the best thing I can do now is to sleep. Good night everyone.
Margo: I think for me it’s the best, too. Good night Janine, good night Joshua.
Janine: Good night.
Scene12:
Janine and Glen leave the tent.
Glen: Now I am not sure.
Janine: Damn, but I think it’s the best time for it.
Glen: Ok, but how can I reconcile with Margo? I don´t want her as an enemy.
Janine: I could speak with Margo if you want.
Glen: You would do that for me? Thank you very much Janine! I don’t know what to say!
Janine: It’s okay Glen. I will do that in the morning. Good night, Glen!
Glen: Good night, Janine!
Glen and Janine go into the tent
Scene13:
The next morning Janine wakes up Margo earlier than usual.
Janine: Hey Margo!
Margo: (yawning). What’s going on, Janine?
Janine: I must talk to you, Margo.
They both leave the tent.
Margo: Ok, what do you want to tell me?
Janine: I want to ask you what Glen must do to get back together with you.
Margo: I think if he and Joshua were friends again, I would take him back! Tell him that.
They go back to the tent.
Scene 14
Joshua leaves the tent. But suddenly he falls. He can’t move.. He can´t shout. Glen is near him. He sees what happened. He helps Joshua and he brings him to Pedro’s tent.
Scene 15
When Joshua regains consciousness, no one is in the tent. He feels better than before. When he leaves the tent he sees Glen.
Glen: Well rested?
Joshua: Oh, Glen, did you help me?
Glen: I just did my duty. And I have a question.
Joshua: What is it?
Glen: Would you be my friend again and for ever? Like in old times?
Joshua: Oh yes, I would!
Janine and Margo come.
Margo: Pedro told us what you have done. Will we be best friends for ever like before the fight?
Joshua: Yes, we will!
Janine: Now everything is okay!
Pedro comes.
Pedro: Yes it is. And now it’s a happy …
…end.

LIZ: How can I realise that when you never speak with me about your feelings.
MAYA: I don’t know. Liz I think I’ve made a mistake.
LIZ: What mistake?
MAYA: Spreading these rumours. And that I doubted our friendship. Can you forgive me?
LIZ: I must think about it.
MAYA: Please I’ve really made a mistake and I don’t want to lose you. Because you were the Best friend that I have ever had.
LIZ: Sorry Maya but I really must think about it.
MAYA: Okay but I’m really sorry.
LIZ: I must go now, Fernando is waiting for me.
Liz goes away.

LIZ: Maya said she is sorry. And I don’t know if I can forgive her.
FERNANDO: Why can´t you forgive her??
LIZ: I don’t know. But I think she doesn´t really mean it.
FERNANDO: Try to find out.
LIZ: Okay, I´ll try.
Fernando: Well. What are we doing now?
LIZ: I don’t know.
Fernando: O, let´s go to the cinema.
LIZ: Okay. Which film?
FERNANDO: Saw 4???
LIZ: Okay, then let´s go.
Fernando and Liz go to the cinema. On the way to the cinema they see Maya.

She is so important to me and now she never wants to see me again. I feel so bad. I have got an idea!

Mrs Leonetti: Super Laura ! I´m happy! But you can´t say that you don´t ever want to see Luisa again. It´s 5 month until you go to your new school!

MY SCHOOL YEARS
MY SCHOOL YEARS
Characters:
Samanta (the twelfth form student)
The teacher
Scene 1
It‘s dark on the stage only the lighted up spot where two desks are and two chairs and the teacher is sitting. The music is playing silently.Suddenly a girl comes from the other corner lighted up with the lamp.Two lights come together.
The teacher:
Hello, dear. How are you today? Why are you so worried? Don‘t forget our last school celebration ‚The Last Bell‘ is coming. You know we need to plan it.Take a seat and let‘s do it now.
Samanta:
Hello teacher. You know the period of exams is coming.I have so much to do and there is no time left. And there are a lot of parties ,a lot of invitations from my friends. So I must be in a hurry and do everything in time. I think ‚The Last Bell‘ will be the last celebration for me at this school. And that will be sad...
The teacher:
I know you are always in a hurry and doing a lot of work at our school and always succeed to do in time.Don‘t worry, dear Samanta, you will do everything in time. Remember your primary classes you had a lot of parties at school and no worries at that time.
Samanta:
Oh, yes, of course, that was a good time... No worries about studies, a lot of friends around and a lot of free time. I remember my primary class teacher Lina. We used to go on excursions all around Lithuania. Everybody liked them so much. But with the years I became more mature and started thinking about my studies and about my future. But inspite of studying a lot I was always
Involved in school Council activities, helped to organize different parties at our school and so on.... But I like it ,you know.
The teacher:
Oh , yes, I remember all our school and class parties, they were so interesting and funny. I was laughing a lot when you played at our class parties especially with Ieva.
Samanta:
The most interesting and impressive were our Christmas parties since the 7th form.I remember our
Christmas party when we were making parodies about different TV programmes. We had some guests and our parents were present.
The teacher:
-Samanta, I know that you are very busy... so how do you prepare for exams when you are so busy?
You need to prepare and to cope with stress.
Samanta:
-Well... actually I study really hard at home... I read a lot of books at home. I pay a lot of attention to History, English and Lithuanian languages, and of course Mathematics. And I am going to take exams on these subjects.
Oh... And do you know the easiest way to learn History? It‘s just to remember subjects. I learn and do some quizzes... So that‘s why I often do quizzes when I‘m alone at home, they help me to remember what I‘ve studied... And it‘s really a perfect way of studying... But on some subjects this method will not help, for example like learning English, you can only learn grammar from English quizzes, but you can‘t learn to talk English ...For this reason I watch English films or listen to english songs and sing together .You know I like singing... I am nervous about my English credit, it will be in ten days...I need to think about all the topics and train my tongue in speaking English. What do you think, will I succeed in taking my English credit?
The teacher: (laughs)
I think...yes, but don‘t know your mark. It will depend on you and your preparation.
Samanta:
Oh yes, of course, I study hard. Actually there was time when it was so difficult for me to study after... that terrible car accident when my sister and me were in hospital for a long time. I was in coma for a day.That was a terrible weekend in Palanga. We nearly died. In fact I couldn‘t remember anything what happened...just a second..and your life seems comes to the end. A weekend which turned to long months of pain and suffering....I think you must remember that time you came to visit me at the hospital and almost all my classmates came to visit me then. They were so friendly.
After that accidents it was really difficult to study, because I missed a lot of classes. So i had to study at home ..yes really hard...But now everything is OK, because I caught up with my classmates in studies and I started singing and dancing and acting as you see....(smiles)
The teacher:
-Oh, yes really? So that was really difficult period of your life. I remember that time again with pain, and you having terrible headache, and taking lots of medicine. All our class was missing you. Yes… but you survived. That’s great! And you wanted to dance so much. Do you remember that Halloween party. We had to go to other school with Egle and Ieva ? And you started dancing again though it was forbidden after that accident. I couldn’t watch that without pain.You wanted to dance so much.
The lights come down and then light up Samanta and she tries to dance. The music plays.
Scene 2
The teacher:
I see you dance very well. So can you tell me what is your favourite lesson now? And what do you think about your teachers when you are leaving your school? You are going to make speech at your Last Bell celebration. Let’s plan something..
Samanta:
- My favourite lesson is Music...because I really like singing and dancing. I have been dancing for a long time, and I think that dancing is something special...Oh yes and at our school the teachers are very good, they are qualified and always try to help us to prepare for life...they help us with what we don‘t understand and tell us what we want to know...So I just love my teachers they are like second family for me and I am so grateful for them because they taught me so many interesting things...and ..to understand life better...
The teacher:
I know it‘s your last year at school and in two months you will have your national exams.What are you going to do after finishing your school? Are you going to study anywhere? Would you like to stay at school or maybe become a teacher? (smiles)
Samanta:
Oh yes..Absolutely...I really want to stay longer now...because I had a lot of fun at school. Sure there is time when kids don‘t want to go to school, and even don‘t want to study and do their homework, but if you try you can have a really good time at school, and you can even have so much fun, that you would like to stay at school longer and don‘t want to go home...after your lessons.
It‘s a pity that this is my last year at school and I think I will really miss my teachers and my classmates and our plays of course.I met a lot of interesting people and made new friends, so i will miss them all, but i hope that evenwhen we will no longer be classmates we will meet each other.. because I really like my school and friends in it..(talks sadly)
The teacher:
That‘s so nice. And tell me what you like most at your school?
Samanta:
It‘s everything..(laughs)...My school is just wonderful, everyone in it knows each other quite well and when you walk along the corridor or in the hall you can see that all of them are your friends, because you can hear everybody saying ‚‘Hello‘ to each other...
Oh.. and I just love our school. I have been studying here for 12 years.
Especially I liked our Christmas parties...Every year we had a lot of interesting festivals and usually I was the one to write scrips for them and to play, and to dance.Our Christmas festivals were really wonderful each year we had one in our school and in the evenings in our class.We‘ve done so many interesting and funny plays that even now when I remember them I start smiling.
The teacher:
-Oh yes I liked them too.Was laughing a lot when our group was playing ‚Cinderella‘.Arnoldas was great stepmother and you remember playing that sister?
Samanta:
Oh yes, shouting at poor Cinderella „Oh , you, dirty thing, can you bring me my dress quickly..
Do this and do that...
The teacher:
And... when you organized Christmas Eve in the class with all children playing and singing like different actors.Yes our class was the best class at our school that year...Ieva ,Simona Deimante and you were good team... Wonderful menories. I will miss my class too.We have spent together eight years, when I became your classmaster.And your last Christmas play was ‚The Snow White‘Did you like it?
Samanta:
Of course, I liked it. I was playing an angry stepmother you remember(laughs).But actually
I liked being a stepmother...And I really liked asking the mirror:
‚Mirror,mirror on the wall, tell me who‘s the pretiest of all?‘
It‘s so nice to remember everything now, because the memories are so wonderful.. and I will
remember them all my life...I think so..
The teacher:
I was so sorry I couldn‘t help you at our ‚100 Days celebration‘ this year, because of my flue. But you were wonderful as usual and you did everything well.
Samanta:
Oh yes we had some troubles when the last evening you called us and told you were ill.But we are grown up people now and we know how to do everything ourselves...
The teacher:
I know you grew up and you don‘t need your teachers to teach you all the time (laughs) but maybe sometimes.... So it seems you really like your school and it wasn‘t so bad to study here..Ok let‘s go and prepare for our last festival ‚The Last Bell‘.what song could we sing there maybe ‚Imagine‘.
Remember we sang it at the contest eight years ago.
They stand up together and with the sounds of the song they leave the stage.
The lights go down.

Scene 1
It‘s dark on the stage only the lighted up spot where two desks are and two chairs and the teacher is sitting. The music is playing silently.Suddenly a girl comes from the other corner lighted up with the lamp.Two lights come together.
The teacher:
Hello, dear. How are you today? Why are you so worried? Don‘t forget our last school celebration ‚The Last Bell‘ is coming. You know we need to plan it.Take a seat and let‘s do it now.
Samanta:
Hello teacher. You know the period of exams is coming.I have so much to do and there is no time left. And there are a lot of parties ,a lot of invitations from my friends. So I must be in a hurry and do everything in time. I think ‚The Last Bell‘ will be the last celebration for me at this school. And that will be sad...
The teacher:
I know you are always in a hurry and doing a lot of work at our school and always succeed to do in time.Don‘t worry, dear Samanta, you will do everything in time. Remember your primary classes you had a lot of parties at school and no worries at that time.
Samanta:
Oh, yes, of course, that was a good time... No worries about studies, a lot of friends around and a lot of free time. I remember my primary class teacher Lina. We used to go on excursions all around Lithuania. Everybody liked them so much. But with the years I became more mature and started thinking about my studies and about my future. But inspite of studying a lot I was always
Involved in school Council activities, helped to organize different parties at our school and so on.... But I like it ,you know.
The teacher:
Oh , yes, I remember all our school and class parties, they were so interesting and funny. I was laughing a lot when you played at our class parties especially with Ieva.
Samanta:
The most interesting and impressive were our Christmas parties since the 7th form.I remember our
Christmas party when we were making parodies about different TV programmes. We had some guests and our parents were present.
The teacher:
-Samanta, I know that you are very busy... so how do you prepare for exams when you are so busy?
You need to prepare and to cope with stress.
Samanta:
-Well... actually I study really hard at home... I read a lot of books at home. I pay a lot of attention to History, English and Lithuanian languages, and of course Mathematics. And I am going to take exams on these subjects.
Oh... And do you know the easiest way to learn History? It‘s just to remember subjects. I learn and do some quizzes... So that‘s why I often do quizzes when I‘m alone at home, they help me to remember what I‘ve studied... And it‘s really a perfect way of studying... But on some subjects this method will not help, for example like learning English, you can only learn grammar from English quizzes, but you can‘t learn to talk English ...For this reason I watch English films or listen to english songs and sing together .You know I like singing... I am nervous about my English credit, it will be in ten days...I need to think about all the topics and train my tongue in speaking English. What do you think, will I succeed in taking my English credit?
The teacher: (laughs)
I think...yes, but don‘t know your mark. It will depend on you and your preparation.
Samanta:
Oh yes, of course, I study hard. Actually there was time when it was so difficult for me to study after... that terrible car accident when my sister and me were in hospital for a long time. I was in coma for a day.That was a terrible weekend in Palanga. We nearly died. In fact I couldn‘t remember anything what happened...just a second..and your life seems comes to the end. A weekend which turned to long months of pain and suffering....I think you must remember that time you came to visit me at the hospital and almost all my classmates came to visit me then. They were so friendly.
After that accidents it was really difficult to study, because I missed a lot of classes. So i had to study at home ..yes really hard...But now everything is OK, because I caught up with my classmates in studies and I started singing and dancing and acting as you see....(smiles)
The teacher:
-Oh, yes really? So that was really difficult period of your life. I remember that time again with pain, and you having terrible headache, and taking lots of medicine. All our class was missing you. Yes… but you survived. That’s great! And you wanted to dance so much. Do you remember that Halloween party. We had to go to other school with Egle and Ieva ? And you started dancing again though it was forbidden after that accident. I couldn’t watch that without pain.You wanted to dance so much.
The lights come down and then light up Samanta and she tries to dance. The music plays.
Scene 2
The teacher:
I see you dance very well. So can you tell me what is your favourite lesson now? And what do you think about your teachers when you are leaving your school? You are going to make speech at your Last Bell celebration. Let’s plan something..
Samanta:
- My favourite lesson is Music...because I really like singing and dancing. I have been dancing for a long time, and I think that dancing is something special...Oh yes and at our school the teachers are very good, they are qualified and always try to help us to prepare for life...they help us with what we don‘t understand and tell us what we want to know...So I just love my teachers they are like second family for me and I am so grateful for them because they taught me so many interesting things...and ..to understand life better...
The teacher:
I know it‘s your last year at school and in two months you will have your national exams.What are you going to do after finishing your school? Are you going to study anywhere? Would you like to stay at school or maybe become a teacher? (smiles)
Samanta:
Oh yes..Absolutely...I really want to stay longer now...because I had a lot of fun at school. Sure there is time when kids don‘t want to go to school, and even don‘t want to study and do their homework, but if you try you can have a really good time at school, and you can even have so much fun, that you would like to stay at school longer and don‘t want to go home...after your lessons.
It‘s a pity that this is my last year at school and I think I will really miss my teachers and my classmates and our plays of course.I met a lot of interesting people and made new friends, so i will miss them all, but i hope that evenwhen we will no longer be classmates we will meet each other.. because I really like my school and friends in it..(talks sadly)
The teacher:
That‘s so nice. And tell me what you like most at your school?
Samanta:
It‘s everything..(laughs)...My school is just wonderful, everyone in it knows each other quite well and when you walk along the corridor or in the hall you can see that all of them are your friends, because you can hear everybody saying ‚‘Hello‘ to each other...
