neglected

"Capistrano Valley High School's drama students
gather after school on a small stage in a common area
of the school called The Mall. Rehearsing for an
upcoming production of "Bye Bye Birdie," they compete
to be heard over the bouncing of basketballs,
slamming of lockers and a zamboni-like machine that
washes the floors. The school doesn't have a theater,
so drama students face endless interruptions during
rehearsals. The Mall also serves as a cafeteria and
garbage is left on the stage daily. The
school's Drama
Teacher, Emily Holke
refers to the area as a "cafetorium. "The students
are always asking me why we don't have a theater,"
said Holke. "We are the only school in the Capistrano
School district without one."
