Alejandro has revolutionized student government at his Pennsylvania high school. Before he came on board, student government looked like it does at many high schools. Planning Homecoming mostly. But when Alejandro joined, it became about helping the poor, giving aid to asylum seekers, helping students join protest marches in DC. He changed his high school for the better. But when he unexpectedly resigns from being student body president halfway through his senior year, the entire school is shaken. Who will take over? Who should take over? This exciting new play looks at the ways we contribute to our community, the power of the vote and what it means to be a citizen in the United States in 2020. Featuring a cast and crew of local high school students and Signature favorite Maria Rizzo.
