Students delve into Wasserstein play

Students appearing in the Fullerton Union High School Academy of the Arts fall production, “The Sisters Rosenweig,” have a personal interest in the late playwright Wendy Wasserstein.

To delve into their respective characters in the play – which runs Friday, Saturday at 7:30 p.m. – students took a trip to the Geffen Theater in Los Angeles to see Wasserstein’s final play, “Third.”

Afterward, the actors, one of whom knew Wasserstein, conducted a question-and-answer period with the students.

The FUHS performances will be held in the school’s Little Theater.
