You’re invited!! The cast and crew of the fall play would like to invite you to their production of Not So Great Expectations! This play centers on a group of students, who after failing the literature test, decide to impress their teacher by performing “Great Expectations.” Will Mrs. Eliot go for it? The students dash from one role to another trying to re-enact major scenes to show off their knowledge of the great work. When the plot gets too complicated for the classroom, the students stop and just explain it in their own hilarious terms.

The cost of attendance is $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for Students and Children.
The case will hold a dress rehearsal for the school on October 18th. If you’d like to bring your students down for a sneak peak, we will begin at 2:30 and run until 3:00. Please email me to let me know how many students you’d like to bring!
