Early Childhood Screening provides an opportunity for parents to discuss concerns and find out
about resources in the school and community.
Early Childhood Screening includes:

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Old Log Theatre
Based on the popular film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is
set in the colorful world of the French Riviera where
casino culture is rife. Master con-artist Lawrence
Jameson makes a living tricking old, rich ladies into
giving him their money. When an American rival,
Freddy, arrives on the French coast, he challenges
the status quo and Lawrence’s position as chief conartist is threatened. They decide the town just isn’t
big enough for the two of them and challenge each
other to a bet; the first one to swindle $50,000 wins.
As they both take on the bet, they fall for the same
woman, but quickly realize that they may have bitten
off more than they can chew. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels has been described as stylish, irreverent, and
"a little bit of Broadway musical comedy heaven."
