The Bath Drama Club is getting ready to present their first-ever play that opens Saturday night! Drama club students at Bath High School hosted a dress rehearsal Friday evening for their families performing "The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet." The play utilizes a comedic approach to the William Shakespeare's classic "Romeo and Juliet" through an integration of the whimsical literary styles by Dr. Seuss where the story of the Shakespearian characters are conveyed through funny jokes. Even though the play is a fun-filled journey of the retelling of Romeo and Juliet's romance, the theater setting helped teach students involved critical life skills.

The 5th grade class alone has collected $600 so far.
