to be in a play

This year's Rosslyn Academy Middle School production is a comedy by Alan Haehnel, directed by Mark Statler. But unlike past year's this is NOT a play, this is a warning and a lesson:

"This is not a play.

These students are here to teach you.

These students are here to warn you.

These students are prepared to do

what ever it takes for you to learn....

30 Reasons NOT to be in a Play."
