Wayland High School Theater Ensemble

Winter One Act Play - To Parents and Other Neighbors.

Based on true events in 1954 Wayland, this original play, created and devised by the cast, follows a community rocked by the discovery that a beloved second-grade teacher was once a member of the Communist Party. As fear and suspicion spread during the height of the Red Scare, neighbors must decide whether loyalty, conscience, or politics will guide their judgment.

How do I set up an account?
Around August 15th, the primary account holder for your student (listed as “mother) should have received an email from WAYLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The subject line said “PowerSchool Account Change.”
