To raise money for its New York City trip in June, the John Adams 8th grade drama group will perform “Not-Quite-Shakespeare in the Park” today from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Miles Playhouse located in Christine Reed Park on Lincoln Boulevard, just north of Wilshire in Santa Monica.

Scenes include “Who’s on First,” “Walker London,” “Saturday Night Live,” and the “Grapes of Wrath.” Admission is $5\. After the performance, there is a silent auction, chair massages, caricature drawings and refreshments.

Donations for trip scholarships can be made to JAMS Drama Boosters. For more information, contact JAMS drama teacher, Ms. Marcia McCarthy, at (310) 453- 2326, ext. 186.
