Just a quick update:The school play, Romeo and Juliet, will have its first matinee this Thursday at 11 am. Not many actors are very enthusiastic about this year's production, what with the long run time, quantity of lines, unusual staging, and scheduling conflicts. However, I think the final product will make our efforts worthwhile. Even if you're not a fan of Billy Shakes, the sight of Yes as
