If you wish to enter in this giveaway, please respond to this e-mail, OR send an e-mail to Matt Tassell (Tassell65456@MissouriState.edu) with "Speech & Debate" in the subject field by Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 at 5:00 PM.

Directed by Richard Dines, Choreography by Marty Almaraz.
Featuring Clayton Avery, Nikki Calloway, Eli Cunningham and Kristin Farr.

A fiercely funny and surprisingly timely new play that gives voice to today's teens. Even though they go to the same school, misfits Solomon, Diwata and Howie have never met. But when a shocking scandal involving one of their teachers brings them together through an unexpected chain of events, they realize three voices are stronger than one. And since their school has no speech and debate squad, maybe this is it their chance to be heard at last - by the school and even the world. 

A Springfield area premier. 

WARNING: THIS PLAY CONTAINS THE LANGUAGE AND SITUATIONS ENCOUNTERED DAILY BY AMERICAN TEENS!
