Here's a comedy that covers nearly every angle of the typical high school play with a dose of history and improvisation thrown in for good measure! A group of actors, who have apparently been abandoned by their drama teacher, have to fend for themselves opening night in front of a live audience. Their teacher has left them hanging because no one has been showing up to rehearsals and no one is really quite sure what they are supposed to do. The student assistant director and the stage manager step in, find a box of scripts which they pass out to the cast, and try to throw something together. What follows is a rollicking show full of physical comedy, gags, and satirical re-writings of many plays from Shakespeare to Albee. 

MISSION & VISION

The Visual and Performing Arts Department provides aspiring artists a different lens with which to see the world as visionary citizens in our vast changing world. As a department we cultivate students’ passion and talent through our student-centered (or student-focused) philosophy integrating performance, theory, creativity & academic rigor. Our courses are designed to meet students where they are so that we can: challenge their own perception of their artistic abilities; support them as they master new techniques; and guide them to find and foster their individual voice through the arts. 

Our vision is to provide our students with experiences in redefining what it means to be an artist. Our graduates will encounter an exemplary Arts education that will: prepare them to utilize their skills in prestigious Art colleges; succeed in groundbreaking careers across multiple disciplines; and nurture their passion so they become lifelong scholars of the arts.
