Curtain Going Up

What readers are saying
Readers find this comedy surprisingly contemporary and amusing. The dynamic between the quirky characters brings a unique charm to the production, making it feel relatable despite its age. Many appreciate the humor derived from the high school setting and the interactions among the actors.
Synopsis
Among the comic obstacles facing Miss Burgess in producing her first play at the high school are a grouchy janitor, disappearing scripts, crossed up romances, a stage struck heroine and her bewildered boyfriend, an actor with a swollen head, a disgruntled athlete who feels out of place on stage, a flamboyant professional actress with advice, a banker's daughter driven to theft and, perhaps most unexpected of all, a romance for Miss Burgess herself!
The solution to the mounting complications sets forth a worthwhile theme that will further satisfy any audience.
