“A bunch of the classes wanted to see it,” HVA theater teacher Robert Warren said, adding he invited students from psychology, history, English and art classes.
“I actually made a set of lesson plans about it, and they’re going to talk about Southern life, as it has to do with history and literature,” he added.
