When most people speak of their high school experience it usually has more to do with the social part than the academic part. The real life lessons are learned outside of the classroom and in the halls, cafeteria, parking lots, and anywhere students are allowed to be themselves. It is this social interaction that is the focus of "Third Class" and the settings in which all of the scenes and monologues take place. "Third Class" is the fourth in Brad Slaight's "Class" plays series and continues to explore the school experience from the students' POV via the many experiences they encounter as they interact with each other. Like the other Class Plays, "Third Class" addresses a variety of contemporary topics and issues, both humorous and serious, that make up the important and unpredictable high school years.
