Author Description

"For the past 16 years, Rob Chalmers, the head of the drama department at Chippewa Valley High School, has given his blood, sweat and gears to make his department #1 in the region. Determined to win best musical in the state of Kansas, Rob announces his fall production. Seussical, casting a talented newcomer, David, and a local favorite, Greg Barnes. All goes well until the president of the school board, Mr. Barnes, finds out his son, Greg, isn't the lead. Barnes bullies the new principal, Stuart, into recasting. When Rob and the department staff balk at Stuart's attempt to thwart their production, he is forced to use dubious means. What starts as a funny look at high-school culture becomes an examination of the relentless pressure we use to get what we want. This gripping dramatic comedy serves as a reminder of how innocent gossip and social media can change our lives. The Drama Department is based on a true story."--Back cover.
