Virginia City High School principal Patrick Beckwith said the drama
department at Virginia City High School will not be disbanded, despite the
departure of popular theater arts teacher Bill Beeson.
Beckwith said the rumors over the disbanding of the drama department and
destruction of costumes and props was a result of miscommunication on his
part.
He said the school discarded a stage that didn't meet Storey County fire
department rules, but would not be discarding the costumes and props.
The drama classes are being taught by a substitute teacher.
