Presented by special arrangement through Dramatic Publishing Company, the play has been adapted for the stage by Robert Owens, Wilton E. Hall Jr., and Williams Miles, Jr., according to a press release.
Catch the student play at 7 p.m. Oct. 25, 26, and 27, at Chaparral High School’s Main Stage Auditorium, 6935 E. Gold Dust Ave., in Scottsdale. Guests must be ages 13 and over, the press release stated.
