"Signed, Sealed, Delivered," the spring play was performed 5/20 & 21 in the PAC. The plays were written, directeded, and performed by Hackley students. (With one exception - I asked Chris McColl to come up with a short play, and he wrote a doozy!) The students have come up with a creative mix of drama and comedy.
