Rogers followed the teen company and crew as they mounted ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ this spring.
“The result is a very special film about theater education and local teens learning more about themselves and their abilities by learning how to portray someone and something other than themselves and life in the 21st century,” says Rogers.
