CLASS DISMISSED Takes Us Back To The 60s 3/20-4/26

By:

In the heat of the 1960s, you can't blame a rich kid for questioning his priorities.

Your dad wants you to carry on the family business. Your friends (who don't know you have money) want you to help build a new way of life. There's a renegade professor. A botched war protest. Sex, of course. Some pot, naturally. And you know what comes after sex and drugs...a comedy about youth and living with the consequences of how you spend it.

The late 60's was a time of experimentation. For Roy, Jackson, Meg, Pete and their friends, it was a time to experiment with exactly how they wanted to live and love.
Class Dismissed follows these friends as they struggle with what it means to live a life in line with their political ideals. Their stances towards the war and the capitalist society are challenged by their responsibility to family, their career aspirations, and ultimately their love for one another. Watch what happens as they discover the compromise between making a living, and making a life.
