The North Greenville theatre department showcased a professor written show titled “Reap The Whirlwind.” The show ran for one weekend only from Feb. 9, 2023 to Feb. 11, 2023. Director Web Drake took the artistic direction to have a stage reading of his show. In the pictures below, see how the story progresses and a glimpse of what a stage reading actually looks like.
