WORLAND - The Worland High School Drama Club will be competing at the state competition this week, Nov. 30-Dec. 2, at Casper College.

There will be 50 WHS students competing in a variety of events. They will be competing with two one-act plays.

"Good People" is a Tony Award winning play about a lady who is desperately trying to find a job so she hits up her ex-boyfriend. He added that "Good People" has some funny parts but is kind of a serious play.
