RUNNers Some actors and actresses spon- sored by the Rockbridge Concert Theatre Series came to LHS for a Thurs- day assembly between 5th and 6th periods. They portrayed five teenagers who had run away and were now ina shelter reflecting on how they could have dealt differently with their home situations. The five different indi- viduals being portrayed were Charlie, Tony, Weazy, J.T., and Ashley. Together they discussed a touching but impor- 14 Runners tant issue with humor and sometimes sadness. The actors covered all the aspects of running away and tried to get in touch with the students at LHS.
