"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players..." (Act II, Scene 7)

In preparation for Raumati High School's variety concert, all the students involved in the school's theatre and music departments have been shipped away to camp in the unspoiled wilderness of the East Coast. As is always the case with hormonal theatre kids, tempers and libidos are running high - it seems that everyone is either looking for true love or looking to show everybody who's boss.

You were meant to be back home last night, but the weather closed in and you were all forced to spend another night out here. Mr. O'Strate has been relentlessly cheerful about this, saying it's a good chance to get some extra rehearsal time. At least his optimism has been a distraction from the weird things that were happening last night. Maybe it's just the result of being forced into closed quarters with people you either love or hate, but there's something in the air, and you need to get your closure before you go back to mundane reality.
