Agatha is a girl who stands up for her beliefs, regardless of the consequences. As student council president at Thebes High, she vigorously defends a student who is unfairly punished. Based on her actions, she could be expelled and lose an important scholarship.
Set in a modern-day high school, the play translates the original Greek chorus into a fantastic ensemble opportunity.
