Old School Living In Our Old School

A Comedy by Lisa Rawson

At their 50th class reunion, Denise pitches the idea of buying their recently vacated high school and converting the classrooms into condos. Several classmates join in and Snow Water High School becomes Snow Water Housing for Seniors. Hilarious morning announcements, guest speakers, activities, and exercise programs,lend a whole new meaning to being a senior in high school.

Cast

We are thrilled to roll out the red carpet and officially announce the cast of Old School Living In Our Old School — a comedy so full of heart (and hilarious chaos) that you’ll wish you went to Snow Water High!

Meet the fabulous team bringing the laughs to the Ohio debut:
