Candles

A professional production of a first place student-written play.
Picture
Directed By: Bi Jean Ngo

The members of the Edgewater High school newspaper club are normal high school students.  But then the unthinkable happens - their school is attacked by an armed student, changing their lives forever. As they try to navigate what comes next, they finally find the passion and drive to fight for something using what they know best: writing, reporting, and music.​
