The Charm of Preparedness

by Jorge Ignacio Cortiñas

4 Males, 3 Females

No intermission

Synopsis: A college is turned inside out when a pre-med student begins to organize a campus-wide preparedness drill.  Is this guy for real, or is this all just a ruse to impress Greta, the nursing student?  Will the students who volunteer to play chemical burn victims be able to earn extra credit?  Does college actually prepare anyone for anything?  A very droll comedy about growing the frack up.
