LaFayette Players present: Gone With the Breeze:
The LaFayette Players are proud to present the spring production: "Gone With the Breeze," to be held at the junior/senior high school auditorium on March 14-15.
The new novel "Gone With The Breeze" is a huge hit, and every girl in the country wants to play the lead of Jezebel O'Toole in the movie that Lone Pine Films is putting out.

Ticket prices:
Children three and under get in free!
Seniors and students - $7
