Every year Junction City High School has a fall play. The play for this fall is “Penny for Your Thoughts’ by Scott Haan. Penny for Your Thoughts is about a girl named Penny Ramsey who has many sides to her personality. They are personified by comically stereotypical characters known as the Egos. The five Egos make her decisions, which gets a lot more complicated when Penny overhears one side of her boyfriend, Matt’s, phone call and believes he has betrayed her. It’s a stressful time for Penny, which is made even more confusing and stressful by the introduction of a new potential suitor named Rick and her nosy mother (and Matt’s boss) Mrs. Killan. Maybe things could get situated if Penny’s Egos in her head got along for once!
