The students of Hilltop High are excited!
They're going to put on a musical of "Romeo and Juliet."
However, the director, Miss Peggy Donahue, pressed into service
by a principal eager to please his superintendent, is horrified.
Twenty years before, when she was a student at Hilltop,
she starred in a disastrous production of Shakespeare's
"Scottish Play," and she believes the curse lingers on.
Sure enough, everything that can go wrong, does.
