Thespians Produce I Act Plays This year the drama students performed four one act plays this fall, directed by Anita Ma- jors. These plays were, Death of a Teenager, which showed the death of a 15 year old girl from an overdose of heroin. She was troubled by problems at home and at school. Hearts and Hands the setting was on a train in the gay 90's. The Open Window, involved a girl with a vivid imagination. Who's On First was a comedy play. The plays were class projects. The students took part in directing, set design, costumes, make-up, stage lighting and props, sound effects and music. The students expressed different emotions and comedy in their perfor- mances. They practiced very hard during class under the di- rection of a very impressive coach. fi 51 3 E C. Relerford, P. Miller, W.
