"Baggage is the perfect blend of humor and substance that both pleases an audience and fulfills the actor with witty dialogue and interesting characters. For a director or designer, the play is rich with possibilities, which is what made it so rewarding to produce with my students."
By Justin Girard, Theatre Arts Teacher, Great Oak High School, Temecula, CA
"What I found so wonderful about working in the process that created Baggage, was the script's insight into the human mind. Baggage, from start to finish, is a true testament to the idea that every person is fighting for or against something, and that we all have more in common than we know. It's a wonderful piece to read, watch, or design."
By Brittany Richadson, Student Director of "Baggage" that received Best Production at the University of La Verne High School One-Act Competition, Temecula, CA
