Drama 2, an elective class offered by Stroudsburg High School (SHS), has an unusual-but-enjoyable final exam: to put on a play for the rest of the school to watch at the end of the year.

There were two different plays this year for the two different Drama 2 classes, and each class performed their play four times. All of this year’s performances had glowing reviews from the student body.

The first show, which was a “rapsical” (rap musical), took inspiration from Romeo and Juliet during the brainstorming process, incorporating two groups or “gangs” of people.
