When COVID-19 canceled the Frederick High spring play, Frederick Theatre decided to convert the spring play into a four-part radio series (you can read more about it here). The Theatre Department has partnered with The Frederick Scout, and we are proud to present School for Scandal.
In this week’s episode, scandal has once again rocked the campus of Brinsley College. Veronica Sneerwell, the leader of The School for Scandal gossip blog and head of the Rho-Beta-Sigma sorority, has teamed up with popular student Joseph Surface to spread a rumor that will get Brinsley Dean Peter Teazle fired. Meanwhile, the dean struggles with his marriage, his rebellious niece Maria, and the fact that he’s turning forty.
