Rising, will be performed at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 2, at

     Written by James H. Chapmyn, the play celebrates the

alive. Characters include an involved father, a struggling
student and many others.
     The cast includes R. Lawrence Jankins, who has appeared in
such movies as Teachers and The Jesse Owens Story; Noel Rogers, a
former gang member and drug abuser; and D. "Jeffro" Johnson, an
actor with many stage credits.
     Tickets are $1 for students and $4 for the general public
and may be purchased at all UD box offices and through
Ticketmaster.
