    “ An excellent story about growing up as teenagers in a system with an all too familiar problem to confront. Can sisterhood help empower them? Well done. ”

    “ Highly recommend High School Coven. As a high school teacher,I find the language is spot on as are the conflicts. The topic is original and odd in the best of ways. The humor and situations feel real. And the presence of witchcraft keeps the story zipping along with an incredible ending. ”

CHARACTERS
Trina, 16, popular. Great emotional depth. Slowly but surely coming of age.
Liana, 16, misfit. Daughter of a single hippie mother who works as a nurse. Total weirdo; in some ways a total leader.
Rachel, 16, misfit. Emo, a little angry, super possessive. A secret softie.
Naomi, 16, misfit. Straight-A+ student. A surprisingly gifted orator. Loves discussions on ethics.
Principal Oversham, adult. Has a caring yet ultimately administrative air: think senior female Democratic senators.
Shopgirl, 22, once popular. Aspiring witch.
The ideal cast for this play will be at least 50% WOC.
