BEING 15
Synopsis

Is a 1 hour Gospel Play with Music that is about two 15 year old freshmen girls from a Performing Arts High School in New Haven, Connecticut showcasing their talents to a talent scout and then realize that they have to make some real life decision – to stand on God's word or use the world method of solving their problem, which could lead them down a life of pain and suffering.

This work was written to teach young people about putting on God's amour instead of the world amour to help them to make better choices for their life.

Hey Sasha why are you calling me on the phone when you are here in the church.
(LONG PAUSE LOOKING INTO THE AUDIENCE WITH FEAR ON HER FACE. SHE STANDS UP
SLOWLY AND SAYS SLOWLY....) Yamoni?(PAUSE) what are you doing with Sasha's
phone? (PAUSE) What do you mean for you to know and for me to find out. You better
tell me right now why do you have her phone? (PAUSE, THEN SHE GETS SO LOUD THAT
EVERYBODY IN THE CHURCH STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND LOOK AT HER) I'm not
playing with you girl; why do you have Sasha phone and where is she? (PAUSE
EVERYONE IS FROZEN THEN....)

Sasha: (SASHA WALKS INTO CHURCH LOOKING BACK OUTSIDE TELLING SOME OF THE OTHER
CHURCH KIDS ....) You losers that is why I'm so much better then you!!! (THEN SHE
TRUNS TO TINA WHO IS STILL ON THE PHONE WITH YAMONI AND STARING AT SASH
WITH UBELIEF WITH THE CHOIR MEMBERS THEN SASHA SAYS....) I don't know why
everybody is always bullying me.
(TINA RUNS OVER TO SASHA AN GIVES HER A HUGE HUG. AS SASHA LOOKS AROUND
AT EVERYBODY TO SEE THEM STARING AT HER SHE SAYS....)What is up with
everyone? I'm sorry for calling your children losers I was just joking. But they won't ....

Tina: (TINA PUTS HER HAND OVER SASHA'S MOUTH TO HUSH HER THEN TINA RAISE HER INDEX
FINGER TO SAY ONE MINUTE THEN GOES BACK TO TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH
YAMONI) So you want to play games you stole Sasha cell phone,

Sasha: Who stole my phone?

Tina: Then you call me trying to make me thing you have her,

Sasha: Who stole my phone?

Tina: And were going to hurt my best friend,

Sasha: Who stole my phone? Hold on, hurt me?
Tina: Okay I will take care of this so you won't be bothering us again!!! (TINA HANGS UP THE
PHONE AND LOOKS DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SAYS SLOWLY....) I'm going to stop this
bullying of Yamoni right now.(THEN SHE LOOKS UP TO THE AUDIENCE AND SAYS WHILE
MAKING THE SHAPE OF A GUN WITH HER HAND AND POINTING AT THE AUDIENCE) I'm
going to get me a gun and...(THE CHOIR MEMBERS ALL SHREK WITH UNBEILVE THAT TINA
JUST SAID THIS)(SASHA GRABS TINA AND START SHAKING HER....)

Sasha: Are you losing your mind!!!, here you go again trying to solve the problem with your own
strength instead of putting it in God's Hand!!!

Tina: I was...(AS SASHA CUTS HER OFF)

Sasha: Jesus Christ!!!(PAUSE) what are you thinking I mean Jesus Christ is whom you should be
thinking about to deal with this issues .

Tina: I wasn't really.... (AS SASHA CUTS HER OFF AGAIN)

Sasha: My God haven't you learned anything from Rev. Miller and First Lady Miller when they tell us
"That The Battle is Not You're It Be Longs To The Lord"; what were you doing texting on your
cell phone or playing with your little brother Curtis?

Tina: I wasn't really.... (AS SASHA BEGINS TO CUT HER OFF AGAIN UNTIL TINA SAYS...)

Sasha: I just don't understand how you got here. I....

Tina: Please Sasha can I have a word!!!

Sasha: Go ahead.

Tina: I was going to get a play gun and pull the handle out so she could see; to make her thing I
have reached my breaking point.

Sasha: Then what Tina?

Tina: I don't know; (PAUSE)(SHE START PACING BACK AND FORTH) I just want her to leave you and
me alone.

Sasha: Tina I know I get us into situations at different times because I just speak my mind but you
know I never try on purpose to hurt anybody's feeling. Knowing this every day I ask God to
forgive my sins the ones I know about and the ones I have no idea I did.

Tina: So this is why you go around in this happy state all the time.

Sasha: So Tina; what are you going to do now the Lord has open your eyes, ears and heart to his
word. I believe it is time for you to start to add the works to your faith because the Bible says
"For as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also" James 2:26

Tina: I'm going to start standing on God's word not just memorizing the different passages but
letting His word live in my everyday life. With that being said I want to apologize to you
Sasha(SHE TURNS AND BRAKES THE FOURTH WALL TO THE AUDIENCE) and you my church
family. (TINA GOES TO THE FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND FOLDS HER HANDS AND POINT
THEM TO THE HEAVENS AN SAYS....)

PSALM 140,
Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from the violent,
who devise evil plans in their hearts
and stir up war every day
They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent's;
the poison of vipers is on their lips.
Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path.
I say to the Lord, "You are my God."
Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.
Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord;
do not let their plans succeed.
Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
May burning coals fall on them;
may they be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, never to rise.
May slanderers not be established in the land;
may disaster hunt down violent.
I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy.
Surely the righteous will praise your name,
and the upright will live in your presence.

Sasha: (SASHA IS LOOK AT TINA WITH SURPISE)
So let me get this straight,(PAUSE) you want God to shower brimstone on her head for
stealing my phone?

Tina: ( TINA LOOKS AT SASHA WITH A CONFUSE LOOK THEN SHE LOOKS BACK UP TO HEAVEN AND
SAYS...) Okay Lord don't do all those thing to Yamoni, just make her stop harassing us.
Because it ain't easy "Being 15".

Sasha: You are so right it ain't easy "Being 15" (BOTH HER AND TINA LOOK AT THE AUDIENCE AND
LEAVE STAGE RIGHT AS MUSIC START "WORTHY ")
