From the familiar Luann comic strip this vital and persuasive play gets its tough message across without preachiness or condescension. There’s even plenty of humor as Luann and Delta try to convince a smitten Bernice that Derek, the gorgeous new senior at Pitts Junior-Senior High, spells trouble with a capital ”T.” The bag of ”gym clothes” that Derek is storing in her locker contains numerous bottles of pills that are extremely suspicious. This may be the most important play of its kind in the continuing education on the problem of drug abuse.
