Stefan Lungu is pumped about getting to direct a One Act before his time as Great Neck South comes to a close. He's acted in the One Acts, performed at Coffeehouse, and played Charles in As You Like It and Steve in Almost, Maine. He wants to say goodbye to everyone before immediately seeing them all again at whatever generic name-brand college they're all going to. Thanks to Mr. Marr, Emma, the actors and stage crew, my friends and family, and as always the College Board.
