The synopsis goes something like this:
Average Joe and Jane Doe are ordinary teenagers who want to fit in. Their dreams of becoming popular overshadow everything else in their lives. Joe’s ultimate goal is to make the school’s paddleball team (playing paddleball is the ultimate in coolness at Typical High). Meanwhile Jane will sacrifice her lifelong friendship with her nerdy BFF, Eunice, in order to be accepted by the most popular girls in school.
The Symbolic Ladder of Popularity stands on stage throughout the play reminding the protagonists (as well as the audience) of their ultimate goal. They MUST reach the top of that ladder – no matter what the cost.
