The Corner House Girls in a Play How they rehearsed, how they acted, and what the play brought in

The story follows Dot and Tess Kenway, two lively sisters who have just begun a new term at the modest Milton school. Their curious minds are promptly tested by the sharp‑tongued Miss Pepperill, a red‑haired teacher who insists they master the line‑up of English sovereigns before they can take their places on stage. Eager to prove themselves, the girls join a troupe of neighbourhood friends to mount a school play that promises both triumph and trouble. Along the way they discover that learning history can be as dramatic as any curtain call.

Rehearsals unfurl in the shadow of the old Corner House, where makeshift props and enthusiastic improv give the production a bright, messy energy. From a wayward basketball team to a mysterious letter that sparks gossip, each episode adds a new layer to the girls’ bond and to their confidence in front of an audience. Listeners will enjoy the blend of gentle humour, heartfelt friendship, and the wholesome bustle of early‑twentieth‑century small‑town life as the Corner House Girls prepare for their big night.
