Summary

"The Sweet Girl Graduates: A Farce in Three Acts and an Epilogue" by H. Rea Woodman is a funny play that takes place in the early 1900s. It's all about Maude De Smythe, a young woman getting ready to graduate from high school, and shows the craziness that happens before the big day. The play makes us laugh at the expectations society places on people, how families act, and the stress of being young. We see Maude trying to get ready while her mom gets worked up, the dressmaker worries about the perfect outfit, and her dad tries to keep everyone calm. Her friends add to the fun as Maude practices her graduation speech which is supposed to sound smart but is also a little silly. Through funny conversations and situations, the play shows us that love, friendship, and growing up are important, and it all ends with a graduation celebration that’s both wild and sweet.
