	Laundry View By Rachel Gomes-Casseres May 2, 2013 - 4:35pm As I'm writing this, I'm hesitent to reveal to you my laundry secret-weapon.

Months of hard work for multiple senior theater students came to fruition in a week that showcased multiple different talents – playwriting, acting, directing, singing, dancing, you name it, which culminated in the week of performances in the Merrick Theater at the Spingold Theater Center.
