'Typecast' - Written by Amanda Murray Curtalo

However, when she comes down with a case of appendicitis, Ms. Ball, the gym teacher, needs to step in and direct the show. Directed by April Ferron

Starring:  Sophia Ferron, Mia Ferron, Eirinn Higgins , Lucy Johnson,  Aoife Mahony, Cliodhna Morgan, Ciara Griffin, Isa Boland and Maria Hickey.
