HESTERS, a musical

Starring: Agatha

Synopsis:

Act One: SGE High School's most elite clique, The Hesters (also known as Coven 66), are the coolest but cruelest kids at SGE High. When emo/goth/nerd Agatha manages to get the Hesters out a week of detention, they offer her a spot in their group (Beautiful). The catch? She has to ditch her 'fake' kinda air headed and blonde friend Sophie. When she basically fails at this, the Hesters make her prove her worth by forging a love note in Hort's (a rich jerk) handwriting inviting Sophie to his homecoming party. Agatha agrees and writes the note (CandyStore). After school, Agatha witnesses a fist fight between jock and rude bully Aric and a mysterious but handsome boy without a mother, Tedros(Fight For Me). Later on her way to Hort's homecoming party, Agatha meets Tedros again at a 7/11 store (Freeze Your Brain ). Later at the party, Sophie shows up and manages to completely embarrass herself. Agatha rushes to defend her friend(Big Fun ). After the party Agatha feels bad for 'betraying' the Hesters by defending Sophie. So she and Tedros go over to the main Hester's house and tries to apologize. It does not go well. Finally, Hester orders Agatha to get her a cup of orange juice. Tedros pours some orange colored soap into a cup and gives it to Agatha telling her it's Hester's orange juice. Agatha believes him and gives the chemical concoction to Hester. Hester promptly dies. Worried that no one will believe that she made a mistake and didn't mean to poison Hester, Agatha (with the help of Tedros) writes a elaborate suicide note. However, the suicide note in which "brainless doll" Hester admits that in reality she did not survive the problems and hardships of this world, and realized that she has no more place in this world, making everyone think that that she was really just a misunderstood and insecure girl (The Me inside of Me ). Later on, after Hester's funeral, the remaining Hester's (Hester Dot and Hester Anadil) try to hold a meeting with Agatha about what to do next. However, this meeting is cut short when a very drunk Hort and a even drunker Aric (cause he had to do something so he's drunk), try to attack them and smash Hester Anadil's car windows. Hester Anadil and Hester Dot manage to escape Hort and Aric by telling them they can have Agatha as a punching bag. Agatha is saved when Tedros shows up with more wine which the two of them give to Hort and Aric who pass out. Tedros plans to get revenge on Hort and Aric for trying to beat up Agatha by shooting them. Tedros tells Agatha that the bullets are tranquilizer and asks her to arrange a meeting with Hort and Aric. She arranges the meeting and she and Tedros shoot Aric. Only then does she realize that the bullets are real. She refuses to shoot a terrified Hort, but Tedros shoots him anyway. Then, Tedros declares his undying love to a horrified Agatha (Our Love Is God ).

Act Two: Tedros forges a suicide note in Aric's handwriting saying that Aric and Hort killed themselves because they were gay. This leads the entire student body (lead by odd professor August Sader) to endorse anti suicide amongst the students of SGE high (Shine A Light). During a school wide discussion Professor Sader asks if any of the students have ever had suicidal thoughts. Hester Dot is the only one who admits to feeling constantly pressured and has considered killing herself (LifeBoat). Once the school wide discussion is over, Hester Anadil mocks Hester Dot for admitting that she had suicidal thoughts. With the encouragement of Hester Anadil, the other students begin to make fun of Hester Dot. This leads to Hester Dot running to the girls bathroom and trying to kill herself by overdosing. Agatha manages finds her right before she swallows the pills and convinces her not to go through with her death. The next day, right after Hort and Aric's funeral, where Hort's dad admits that he two is homosexual (I love my Dead Gay son), Sophie tells Agatha that she doesn't think that Hort and Aric killed themselves because they couldn't have been gay. Sophie then pulls out her evidence, the love letter inviting Sophie to Hort's homecoming party that Agatha had forged. Agatha, feeling bad, tries to explain to her friend that it was her who wrote the note. Heartbroken and furious, Sophie severs her friendship with Agatha. Later that night, Sophie jumps off a bridge in a suicide attempt but survives with a few broken bones (Kindergarten Boyfriend). Hester Anadil proclaims her failed suicide as an attempt to imitate the popular kids. Agatha (accompanied by the ghosts of Hester, Hort, and Aric) rushes to the hospital where Sophie is staying. She realizes that she has become as evil and cruel as Hester (Yo Girl). Agatha decides that the way to stop all of this is to confront Tedros and stop him from killing anyone else. She goes back to her house and is greeted by her worried mother who tells her that her friend Tedros had told her the Agatha has been depressed. Agatha's mom (Callis) implores her daughter to talk to her. Agatha (still surrounded by the ghosts of Hester, Hort, and Aric), realizes that she is Tedros's next target. She runs into her room. Tedros climbs through her bedroom window and tells her that he's taking her as her date to the pep rally at SGE highschool. Agatha shoves him out of her room and locks the door only to hear him beg her to let him in (Meant To Be Yours). He explains about his new plan. Instead of murdering the students one by one, he'll set up a bomb that will explode during the pep rally killing all the students. Tedros has also forged a suicide note supposedly written by the student body of SGE high. When Agatha refuses to let Tedros in, he eventually slams open the door only to discover that Agatha has hanged herself using a curtain. Tedros is heartbroken but decides to still go on with his plan to blow up SGE high school. Agatha, who is actually not dead and has faked her hanging, goes to the pep rally determined to stop Tedros. She arrives just in time to see Tedros about to finish setting up the bomb. She grabs the bomb and tries to run away but Tedros threatens to shoot her. She reluctantly drops the bomb. Then, she tackles Tedros and grabs his gun. When he refuses to defuse the bomb, Agatha ends up shooting him in the leg. He survives though. As a final act of manipulation, he decides to sacrifice himself and save the student body by taking the bomb out towards the school's football field. Agatha begs him to stay but he refuses. Finally, she says, "Say hi to God." letting Tedros die. The next day everyone at SGE high is buzzing about the bomb that got set off on the football field at the pep rally. Sick of all the gossip, Agatha proclaims that there will be no more Heathers. She then invites Sophie and Dot over to watch movie and just have a good time before they grow up (Seventeen Reprise ).
