Seven Charles County public high schools will put on fall plays between Oct. 22 and Dec. 13. The season runs from a Southern drama to a farce about a play falling apart, according to Charles County Public Schools.
Most tickets cost $5 to $12, and several schools sell them online ahead of time. Three schools open the same weekend in November, so families have to pick.
