See how this all female cast directed by Lisa Cotie tackles the adventures that await them in Men On Boats written by Jacklyn Backhaus.

Volunteers Needed to Call College Reps about Senior Showcase This Week!!!
Help us make Senior Showcase a success! Our Showcase Communications chair has extended Senior Showcase invitations to individuals from schools across the country via email. Now it's time for parent volunteers to make follow up phone calls to the schools that have not registered. There over 100 schools to call this week and only 3 volunteers.
