\nSynopsis: A \u201cvalley-girl\u201d take on Greek tragedy equipped with a chorus of cheerleaders, Be Aggressive is the off-beat telling of a classic tale of journey and catharsis in the complicated life of a teenager. In the Southern California community of Vista Del Sol, life should be paradise. But life is thrown into chaos when 17-year-old Laura\u2019s mother is killed in a hit and run accident. As a result, she must take on new roles with her workaholic father and younger sister while she struggles to cope with grief, sudden adulthood, and the hell of high school life. She throws herself with total abandon into the world of cheerleading when she befriends popular cheerleader Leslie, a girl with a terrifying zeal for all things cheer. Leslie convinces Laura to run away to the \u201cSpirit Institute of the South,\u201d a hardcore, take-no-prisoners school of cheerleading. Armed with her deceased mother\u2019s credit card and some stolen cash, Laura embarks on a journey, only to find herself faced with unresolved grief, something from which she cannot escape. <\/p>\n


\nCast: 7 Women, 1 Man:

\nLaura: 17 years old, struggling to find her place

\nHannah: Laura\u2019s 14-year old sister, precocious and desperately in need of guidance

\nLeslie: 17, Captain of the high school cheer squad, has a ferocious commitment to \u201creal\u201d cheer

\nJudy: 40s, Leslie\u2019s mother, a perfectly manicured example of Southern California culture

\nPhil: 40s, Laura\u2019s emotionally distant father, a workaholic with no idea how to deal with his daughters<\/p>\n


\nCheerleaders #1, #2 & #3 aka \u201cThe Cheer Chorus\u201d: a sometimes terrifying, always united squad of cheerleaders who serve as storytellers, girls in Laura\u2019s cheer squad, and more. They move fluidly between \u201cValley Girl\u201d lightness and Bacchanalian ferocity.<\/p>\n


\nRequired: Please prepare a 2-minute monologue from a contemporary play AND a cheer of your own choosing. You may also choreograph your cheer if you choose though it is not necessary.
