"Um I Think the Psych Teacher is Dead" by Stephen Garvey

Synopsis:

It’s the day of the Psych final…and the students are about to be put to the ultimate test. Their teacher is face down on the desk, possibly dead. Before the collapse, she handed out the exam, collected and locked away their phones, and even locked the door. The students debate over what to do, leading to arguments that (comedically) threaten to devolve into “Yellowjackets” mayhem.

Auditions for this play will take place on Thursday, October 2nd from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM. Drop by any time during this window to sign up for a 10-minute audition slot. Everyone will be in the play regardless. Auditions are just to help the director determine roles for each person. If you cannot make auditions, you can still be in the play. Please register for THIS event, which will register you for all 6 sessions. We will rehearse every Thursday evening from 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM for 5 weeks and perform the play on the 6th week at 6:00 PM. All family and friends are welcome and encouraged to join us for the performance!

Please email Librarian Emily, esweeney@zblibrary.info, with any questions!
