Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin

**Begets: Fall of a High School Ronin / The All-Valley High School Show** This action-packed samurai-themed story, set within the halls of an all-American high school, follows Emi Edwards, a geeky student determined to challenge the tyrannical cliques, or “shoguns,” ruling her school. Amid her struggle for justice, Emi faces the temptation of popularity and power—will these desires corrupt her mission to transform the school, or will her fight merely lead to further turmoil? In conjunction with this narrative, the All-Valley High School Show showcases the talents of students from public, private, and home schools across the Shenandoah Valley. This annual non-musical production provides a creative alternative to traditional winter theater programs, fostering connections among young performers while being freely accessible thanks to generous local support.
