All the drama students worked in shifts to scrub and wash cars at the successful fundraiser along while keeping up with the regular Saturday routine of working on sets, props and costumes.
"It was a very exciting day, which is on par with the equally exciting lineup of performances for this coming season," according to a press release from the group.
The funds will help offset costs of the upcoming season. All performances will be held at the New Canaan High School Auditorium, and tickets may be purchased online.
