"The story of the play"
said Hart "has to do with
two women Karen Wright

a school for girls. A malicious
youngster starts an entirely

"This Is a mat urn play"
said the McMurry drama pro-
fessor "and a play for ma-

significant It Is a good play
and It will require an Intelli-

"The play's production will
