Drama high : the incredible true story of a brilliant teacher, a struggling town, and the magic of theater

Why would the multimillionaire producer of Cats and Miss Saigon take his limo from Manhattan to the struggling town of Levittown, Pennsylvania, to see a high school production of Les Misrables?

To see the show performed by the astoundingly successful theatre company at Harry S Truman High School, run by its legendary director, Lou Volpe!

Michael Sokolove, a Levittown native and former student of Volpe's, chronicles the drama director's last school years and follows a group of student actors as they work through riveting dramas both on and off the stage.
