One of the major events that led to the American Revolution was the anger of a group of Boston citizens to the British tax on tea imported to the colonies.

THE BOSTON TEA PARTY was a raid by American colonists on British ships in Boston Harbor. It took place on December 16, 1773. A group of citizens disguised as Indians, armed with tomahawks threw the contents of 342 chests of tea into the bay in retaliation over a tax which had been placed by the British Parliament on tea coming into the colonies. The colonists called town meetings and came up with resolutions to stop the importation.

SCRIPT:

Act I

Scene 1 – At the Old South Church

- Lights Off -

(Only the voice of the narrator is heard)

Narrator:  It was a cold rainy day, on December 16, 1773, when thousands of angry colonists gathered at the Old South Church, in Boston, Massachusetts.  It was the first step toward freedom of our great nation, the United States of America.    

- Lights On -

(Samuel Adams is standing in the middle of the room/stage surrounded by the colonists)

Samuel Adams:  Friends!  Countrymen!  Old England and crazy King George III, are asking for taxes on our favorite drink…tea!

Colonist 1:  Why do we have to pay taxes to that old and fat England which is thousands of miles away?

Colonist 2:  That’s ridiculous! 

Colonist 3:  We need to do something about this!

Colonist 4:  England has never done anything for us…and now they want to take our money!

Colonist 5:  Everything is taxed!

Crowd:  No more taxes!

Colonist 6:  Sugar is taxed…newspapers are taxed…

Colonist 7:  If we allow more taxes, they will take all our money without giving us anything in return.

Colonist 8:  I can’t afford to pay that ridiculous amount of taxes!

Colonist 9:  Me neither…I have a family to support!

Colonist 10:  It’s not fair!

Colonist 11:  We need to take action!

Colonist 12:  I think it’s best if the ships go back to Britain with their tea!

Colonist 13:  And it’s not about the money…it’s the fact that a distant country is trying to control our colonies.  We are free men!

Samuel Adams:  The tea on British ships must not land on American soil…because if it does…a tax would be due upon it!  We must destroy the tea!   Are you with me?

Crowd:  Yes!  Yes!  Yes!

(Indians 1 -6 walk down the center aisle of the room and stand beside Samuel Adams)

Indian 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6:  We are the Sons of Liberty!

Colonist 14:  Tonight the Boston Harbor will be an enormous teapot!

-  Lights Off -

(Only the voice of the narrator is heard)

Narrador:  The crowd, the colonists, and some leaders and businessmen disguised as Mohawk Indians went to Boston’s deck to board the ships that were loaded with tea.  Tonight they would do something that would change the history of our country.

Scene 2 –  In the Ship

(Only the voice of the narrator is heard)

Narrator:  The British crew was sleeping, when suddenly they heard a loud noise.  One of the crew members woke up, and saw the Indians climbing aboard the ship.

-Lights On -

Crewman 1:  Wake up!  Wake up!  The Indians are aboard the ship!  They are stealing the tea! 

Crewman 2:  Come on…we are very tired!

Crewman 1:  I’m telling you!  The Indians are here!

Crewman 3:  Indians? …Let’s stop them!

(Crew members walk toward the Indians)

Indian 1:  Throw all the tea boxes into the sea!

Indian 2:  I hate this tea…don’t leave any box aboard the ship!

Indian 3:  British must know that we are against them!

Indian 4:  Let’s hurry up!

Indian 5:  Just the tea remember…we are not to damage anything else!

Indian 6:  We are almost finished!

(The Indians see the crew members)

Indian 1:  The redcoats are here!

Captain:  Stop it!  On behalf of the King…you are under arrest!

Crewman 4:  This is a ship from the England Royal Navy.  You must be loyal to the King, and you should obey the laws of England!

Indian 1:  We will not obey those laws…we live in a free country!

Indian 2:  Let’s abandon the ship.  Our mission is accomplished…all the tea is in the water!

(The Indians leave the ship)

NATALY: Hahaha, are you seriously practicing for that audition?

SAMANTHA: I bet you aren’t even getting the part anyway, hahaha!

CRISTINA: Yeah, that’s right…because Nataly’s trying out for the part of Juliet!

SELENA: Hey! Yes I am, and I’m auditioning for the role of Juliet too.

NATALY: You can audition for any part you want, but I’m just letting you know now, don’t get your hopes up because I’m getting the role of Juliet.

(Mrs. Barnes sees Nataly, Samantha and Cristina around Selena and assumes that problems are building up)

MRS. BARNES:  Whoa, Whoa!

SELENA:  (Looking at the girls walking away – angry)  How do you know that, huh! I’m going to get the role of Juliet … you’ll see!

Act II – AT HOME

(Mother sees the depressed mood that Selena is in)

MOTHER: What’s wrong honey?

SELENA:  (Trying to hide her depression from Mother) Ugh … nothing Mother… I’m fine!

MOTHER: Please Selena, tell me the truth, I don’t like seeing you depressed.

SELENA: (Shouting, but not angry)  I told you that I’m fine… why don’t you believe me!

(Selena runs up the stairs and goes to her room to sit on her bed.  When she gets there Justin is standing at the room door)

SELENA:  (Sees her brother standing at the door) Ugh, didn’t I tell you, literally, one thousand times that I don’t want you in my room?

JUSTIN:  (Walks into Selena’s room and sits next to her) Come on now … tell me, what’s the matter?

SELENA:  (Sighs)  Do you know those three girls? Nataly, Samantha and Cristina… You do, right?

JUSTIN: Yeah, I do. Those three mean girls at school.

SELENA: Yeah, Today while I was practicing for the school audition, they said that I won’t get the role of Juliet, and all the type of stuff that would discourage me.

JUSTIN:  (Sighs)  Look, Selena. You are the greatest actress I’ve ever seen. Don’t let them make you believe that you don’t have potential.  You have to believe in yourself, no matter what everyone else tells you. I’m sure you’ll get the role of Juliet.

SELENA: Yeah.

(Mrs. Barnes hands a script to Selena.  Selena clears her throat, starts to read the script and acting out the part)

SELENA:  It’s only your name that is my enemy;

You are yourself, not even a Montague.

What’s “Montague?” It is not a hand, or a foot,

Or an arm, or a face, or any other part

Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!

What’s in a name? that which we call a rose

Would smell as sweet if it had any other name.

So Romeo, if he wasn’t called “Romeo,” would

Retain that dear perfection which he has

Without that title. Romeo, throw your name away;

And for that name, which isn’t part of you,

Take all of me.

MRS. BARNES:  (clapping)  Wow, you really have potential! I’m really proud of you!

(Nataly grunts and marches out of the auditorium)

MRS. BARNES: Guess that leaves us with no other Juliet but you! Congratulations!

SELENA: Wow! Thank you so much!

(Mother and Justin show up smiling and immediately giving Selena hugs)

JUSTIN AND MOTHER: We knew you had it in you!

SELENA: Thanks for helping me believe, Justin!

JUSTIN: You’re very welcome Selena!

SELENA:  Thanks for caring Mother. I’m sorry I shouted at you.

MOTHER: Oh honey, its fine.

SELENA: Thanks, you guys… I’ll never stop believing!

MOTHER AND JUSTIN: We love you!

Harry:  For your information, dear brother and sister…this is an Ankylosaurus!

Thomas:  What is herbivore?

Harry:  It means that he eats plants!

Katy:  Uffff… I’m glad I’m not a plant!

Thomas:  Fortunately, this is a baby dinosaur.

Katy:  Wow!  Look at those big teeth!

Thomas:  How come he doesn’t have pointed teeth?

Katy:  (looks carefully at the dinosaur) Wow!  They are really beautiful!  I didn’t know dinosaurs had blue eyes…

Thomas:   Helloooo you two!   How will we get him out?

Katy:  Let’s  cover him with the cloth …people will think it’s a very big dog!

Harry:  Do dogs have two big spikes sticking out of his head, like he does? 

Katy:  Well no… but…who cares?

Thomas:  Let’s do it!

Harry:  Mmmm…ok…just wait!

Thomas:  Now what?

Harry:  I’ll call him Peter!

Thomas:  Mmmm…Peter?… Not bad.   Let’s get out of here… now!

(Harry, Thomas, and Katy cover the dinosaur with the black cloth.  They leave the building, and walk home.  They stop to cross the street.  A man approaches them)

Harry:  We?  Thomas, I think you’re are making a big mistake.

Man:  Great!  (he takes out his wallet from his pocket, and gives Thomas the money). Fine kids, I must go!  (The man crosses the street and walks away from Thomas, Harry, and Katy)

Harry:  (shouting) Hey wait…sir!  Where’s your zoo.?

Man:  (shouting)  What zoo?

Athena:  (angry) That’s nonsense!  Who is that girl you’re talking about?

Girl 1:  She’s the daughter of a wool dyer, and she’s well known for her work.

Athena:  Mmmm… so I believe she’s a poor and simple girl!

Girl 2:  Yes, she is…but people from all around come to see the beautiful pictures she weaves into her cloth.  They are impressed by her talent!

Girl 3.  I wonder how a mortal can weave so beautifully!

Athena:  (leaving furiously) We’ll see about that!

Girl 2:  Let’s go see her. 

(Girl 1, 2, 3, and 4 stand, and approach Arachne.  They stand behind her admiring her work)

Girl 1:  You are a very good weaver and spinner!  Were you blessed by Athena with her gift of weaving?

Arachne:  Of course not!  I learned to weave all by myself.

Girl 2:  Well…you weave as beautiful as Athena does.

Arachne:  (stands up)  There’s no one in the world that can weave as beautiful as me!

Girl 3:  You can’t compare yourself to Athena… she’s the goddess of the skills and crafts!

Arachne:  I can compare myself to Athena…and win her with ease!

(Arachne sits, and keeps on weaving.  Athena disguised as an Old Woman enters. She wears a long robe covering her head and tiara. She walks slowly and approaches Arachne)

Old Woman:  My dear…I’ll give you an advise.  Don’t ever mess up with a goddess.  No moral can compete against Athena… take back your words and ask for forgiveness.

(Arachne stands up)

Arachne:  I don’t need your advise!  I know I can beat her…besides…if Athena really dares… why isn’t she here to compete against me?

Athena: (uncovering her head)  We’ll see who can create the most beautiful tapestry…let’s compete!

Girl 1:  She’s here!

(Girl 1, 2, 3, and 4 kneel down frightened and cover their mouths when they see Athena)

Arachne:  I have been waiting for this moment for a long time!

(Athena and Arachne sit on the two chairs and start to weave.  After a few seconds, Athena stands and shows her work.  Girl 1, 2, 3, and 3 clap)

Girl 1:  Just beautiful!

Girl 2:  Remarkable!

Girl 3:  Wonderful!

Girl 4:  Unbelievable!

(Arachne stands)

Arachne:  Ha, ha, ha, ha… That’s your work!  Ha, ha, ha, ha… that’s the best you can do?... (showing her work)  Now, look at my beautiful tapestry!

Athena:  Oh, no!

Girl 1:  It’s a work of art!

Girl 2:  It is clearly better than yours, Athena!

Girl 3: That’s the most beautiful tapestry in the world!

Girl 4:  Look closely…it’s Zeus… he looks like a bull!

Athena:  You’re making fun of my father Zeus…the King of Gods!  (furiously destroys the tapestry, and points her finger to Arachne, and casts a spell)  Shider Mider turn yourself into a spider!

(Arachne makes strong movements with her arms and legs and falls to the floor)

Athena:  You want to spin?  Go ahead… and spin forever …I  now give you eternal life!  From now on, you can weave anything you want with your webs, and people will always destroy them…just like I have just destroyed your tapestry!  Ha,  ha, ha, ha.

Empleado de la Morgue: Este lugar esta embrujado.  ¡Yo me voy de aquí!

(Empieza a alejarse)

Chofer de la Morgue: ¡Yo también!

(Empieza a alejarse)

Propietario de la Morgue: ¡Esperen, no se vayan!

Empleado de la Morgue: ¡Yo de ninguna manera me quedo aquí!

Chofer de la Morgue: ¡Yo tampoco!

Propietario de la Morgue: ¡No tengan miedo!  Llamare a la policía.

Chofer de la Morgue: ¿Para que llama a la policía?  ¡Debería de llamar a los Cazafantasmas!

Empleado de la Morgue: El tiene razón.

Propietario de la Morgue: Esas son tonterías…llamare a la policía.  (Levanta el teléfono, marca un numero, habla en voz baja, y cuelga) Llegaran aquí en unos minutos.

Empleado de la Morgue: Ya no se escucha nada.

Propietario de la Morgue: Vamos a sentarnos, y a calmarnos.

(Minutos después se abre la puerta de la morgue.  Iman y Shasa entran)

Propietario de la Morgue: ¿Y ustedes quienes son?

Empleado de la Morgue: Son los familiares de uno de los cadáveres que acabamos de traer.

Chofer de la Morgue: Estamos esperando a que llegue la policía.

Iman: ¿Por qué?  ¿Qué paso?

Propietario de la Morgue: Nada…no se preocupen.

Empleado de la Morgue: Hay un fantasma en el cuarto de refrigeración.

Shasa: ¿Un fantasma?

Propietario de la Morgue: No le hagan caso…¿Que puedo hacer por ustedes?

Iman: Vinimos a hacer los tramites para llevarnos el cuerpo de mi esposo a la funeraria.

Propietario de la Morgue: Ah si…siéntense, por favor.

(Se vuelve a abrir la puerta, y entra el Policía)

Policía:  (observa la cara de todos) ¿Cuál es la emergencia?

Empleado de la Morgue: Hay un fantasma aquí en la morgue.

Policía: Ja, ja, ja…¡Los fantasmas no existen, caballero!

Propietario de la Morgue: Creo que hay uno en el cuarto de refrigeración.

Policía: Vamos a ver. (saca un arma)

Propietario de la Morgue: Me da gusto que traiga un arma…solo en caso de que algo quiera atacarnos.

Policía: ¿Quiere que le dispare a un fantasma?

Propietario de la Morgue: Bueno…podría funcionar.

(El Policía se dirige al cuarto de refrigeración.  Lo siguen el Propietario, el Chofer, el Empleado,, Iman, y Shasa. Kato continua golpeando y pateando la puerta)

Empleado de la Morgue: ¡Escuchen…les dijimos que allí había un fantasma!

(El Policía abre la puerta, y todos ven a Kato parado cerca de la puerta)

Policía: ¿Este es su fantasma?

Iman: (abraza a Kato) ¡Kato…estas vivo… que alegria!

Kato: ¿Por qué estoy aquí?

Shasa: Ay hermano…tuviste suerte de que te pusieran en el refrigerador…y no en el incinerador.

Policía: ¿Quien es este hombre?

Iman: El es mi esposo.  ¡Y esta vivo!

Propietario de la Morgue: ¡No puedo creerlo!

Shasa: (al Chofer de la Morgue) Usted dijo que estaba muerto… ¡Lo voy a demandar!

Iman: (a  Shasa) ¡Tu fuiste la primera que dijo que estaba muerto!

Propietario de la Morgue: (al Policía) Gracias por venir…ya no lo necesitamos.

Policía: La próxima vez que piensen que es un fantasma…no llamen a la policía…llamen a los Cazafantasmas…sus aspiradoras funcionan mejor que las armas…ja, ja, ja, ja.

(El Policia sale)

Iman: Vámonos querido… tan pronto lleguemos a casa te haré un te caliente para que te relajes.

Kato: Si.  ¡Ha sido un día de locura!

Propietario de la Morgue: Señor Kato, le ofrezco una disculpa.

Kato: Olvídelo.  ¡No estoy completamente muerto…todavía!

(Iman, Kato, y Shasa salen)

Propietario de la Morgue: Uffff….que suerte…es un hombre afortunado por no haber despertado mientras le hacia la autopsia.
