Join CAST in celebrating these remarkable women and the supportive atmosphere that allowed them to develop the Harvard Classification Scheme of stars – and to make history. “Lodestar” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on March 20 and at 3:30 p.m. on March 21. “The Secret Life of Girls” highlights the impact of “cyberbullying,” the facilitation of mean-spirited behaviors through the use of cell phones, texts, and the like. When faced with the consequences of their actions, the girls ultimately resolve – one by one – to change their behaviors. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on March 21 and at 3:30 p.m. on March 22. Tickets are available in advance through the CAST website at www.op97.org/CAST or may be purchased at the door.
