Synopsis:
O.K. teens, listen up. If you want to drive a car, go to college/grad night/prom, get a class ring or new clothes, youre going to have to find a JOB! All the fun, frustrations and foibles of part-time jobs are explored in these scenes and monologues, from making a hamburger, to figuring out what garbled language is being spoken in the drive-thru, to presenting a phone sales pitch before the person hangs up with a thud! There are also some moments of comic fantasy as teens try to picture their dream job, as surfer and comic book reader. And of course, not to be forgotten, tribute is paid to the most important part of the job, pay day!

Just as the stage manager is getting ready to call Places for the start of the school's play, everything comes to a screeching halt. Brandy has discovered that her cell phone is missing and refuses to go on until she finds it. The other actors try to help her re-create her every move to find the exact moment the phone was misplaced, and what follows is not only the quest for a cell phone but a trip through a tangle of who said what to whom. From secret boyfriends, pet nicknames, and the confusion between Tony the boy to Toni the girl, we get a very funny look at how gossip gets started and where it goes. Does everyone learn a lesson? Heard any good gossip lately?
