Drama High: The Incredible True Story of a Brilliant Teacher, a Struggling Town, and the Mag ic of Theater

Soon to be a television series titled "Rise," starring Josh Radnor, Auli'i Cravalho, and Rosie Perez â€”the incredible and true story of an extraordinary drama teacher who has changed the lives of thousands of students and inspired a town.

Why would the multimillionaire producer ofÂ Cats,Â The Phantom of the Opera, andÂ Miss SaigonÂ take his limo from Manhattan to the struggling former steel town of Levittown, Pennsylvania, to see a high school production ofÂ Les MisÃ©rables?

To see the show performed by the astoundingly successful theater company at Harry S Truman High School, run by its legendary director, Lou Volpe. Broadway turns to Truman High when trying out controversial shows such as RentÂ andÂ SpringÂ AwakeningÂ before they move on to high school theater programs across the nation. Volpeâ€™s students from this blue-collar town go on to become Emmy-winning producers, entertainment executives, newscasters, and community-theater founders.

Michael Sokolove, a Levittown native and former student of Volpeâ€™s, chronicles the drama directorâ€™s last school years and follows a group of student actors as they work through riveting dramas both on and off the stage. This is a story of an economically depressed but proud town finding hope in a gifted teacher and the magic of theater.
