Royal Oak High School Presents 'Stage Door'
The lighthearted drama, set in 1930s New York City, follows aspiring actresses living in a boarding house.

Follow the trials and tribulations of Broadway-bound actresses during the 1930s as the Royal Oak High School Drama Club presents its production of 'Stage Door,' a drama by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber.
The show, directed by Ed Nahhat, centers around Terry Randall, an idealistic young actress, who wants to live out her late mother's dream of achieving stardom.
Faced with a decision, should she "go Hollywood" or enjoy the freedom of live theater, the would-be starlet is forced to do some soul-searching.
