Roberta Gore served as North Carroll High School's Drama Teacher from September of 1982 until June of 2016. During the course of those thirty-four years she received between seventy-five and a hundred letters every opening night from a writer who signed them, "Saint Genesius".

Whether you are an aspiring Drama teacher, a lover of all things theatrical, or an alumnus of NCHS, the stories in the pages will remind you there truly is no business like show business.
