ABOUT THE PLAY.
"The Eagle and the Dragon..." is a clever spoof on
negotiations and global politics showing two high school students embroiled in
oh so tongue-in-cheek "negotiations" on the politics of the school
dance and gender relations. Our renditions features a cast of real life
high school students from the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts
under the direction of the drama teacher. ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT.
Please check back for Matt Hanf's bio. ABOUT THE CAST.
