MVMMS Drama Festival Play: We'll Be Better Later"

The Melrose Veterans Memorial Middle School Drama
Club presents: “We'll Be Better Later,” a one act dark comedy written by
playwright Laura
Jacqmin. Performances will be held on May 1st and May 2nd at
7:00pm at the Melrose Performing Arts Center located at the Middle School, 350
Lynn Fells Parkway, Melrose, MA. Ticket prices are $10 for adults and $5 for
students and senior citizens.

The play is set in a detention camp and
reform institution for internet-addicted and online-obsessed teenagers. Forced
to make small talk, and forbidden from all electronics, the inmates are
miserable. Brendon and Beatrice can't follow soccer stats, Fiona can't kick
butt in her fantasy games, Kristina can't design ideal outfits, Sari can't
immerse herself in Japanese culture and Macayla can't overcome her shyness.
When the newest addition, algebra-loving oddball Lauren, is abandoned there by
her parents, she unwittingly starts a revolt against the camp General and her
Minions. Now it's up to the outcasts to prove that socially awkward doesn't
mean socially hopeless.

The Drama Club
will also be performing the play at the Massachusetts Educational
Theater Guild’s Middle School Drama Festival on Saturday May 3rd at
3:15 PM at the Shore Country Day School, 545 Cabot Street, Beverly, MA. 01915.
