Come celebrate a year of hard work for an evening of short contemporary scenes performed by the 9th Grade of The Waterwell Drama Program! These students have been working with their instructor, Mr. Kelati, on excerpts from challenging texts including scenes from Pulitzer Prize Winning Playwrights such as David Lindsey-Abaire, John Patrick Shanley, and Stephen Adley Guirgis!
