The students of Hilltop Consolidated School are excited! They're going to put on a musical of "Romeo and Juliet." But the director, Miss Peggy Donahue, pressed into service by a principal eager to please his superintendent, is horrified. Twenty years before, when she was a student at Hilltop, she starred in a disastrous production of Shakespeare's "Scottish Play," and she believes the curse lingers on. Sure enough, everything that can go wrong, does. The set for the balcony scene collapses, Juliet breaks her leg, her replacement develops laryngitis, and the semi-deaf costumer arrives with cowboy outfits - she thought the show was called "Rodeo and Lariat." Add a hysterical playwright, a stage mom from hell, and a mysterious cult of "techies"who sing a love anthem to duct tape, and you've got one merry mayhem of a madcap musical, quicker than you can say, "Macbeth" - oops!
