Our 10th grade Advanced MYP Theatre class will present their play, The One Act Play Disaster on Thursday, January 22 at 6 p.m. Admission is free!

About the play: Pulling off a heist is pretty tough. But that’s nothing compared to pulling off a one-act adaptation of a popular heist movie. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong when you’ve got a light board operator out for revenge, a dollar-store set and a cast that’s a total mess. The One Act Play Disaster is a mess to behold!
