This powerful thought provoking drama combines: Music, Dance and Acting to create a truly enriched and captivating performance. All the actors and players of this production are High School and Intermediate School students of American Military Academy, between the ages of 11 and 17 years of age.

The play focuses on a real life dilemma brought upon by drug abuse. While life has many problems and few answers, this play offers a solution that far too many of us have yet to realize. No matter what our problems in life we learn that there is always �hope� down the road waiting if we give it a chance.

Drug addiction has taken the lives of to many of our youth. Yes, they must learn

to say �NO� to drugs, but what of those who did not! Our young people must realize that there is much they can do to help those who have already been snared by the sting of drug abuse. They can stretch out their hands and help those who couldn�t help themselves.
