"Hey Little Walter" composed by Carla Debbie Alleyne is known all over, for its multimillion set, that leaves everyone astonished, each and every time they set eyes on it. This was an extraordinary play, performed by high school freshman students! It was performed in room 122 in Schreiber, a public high school, located in Port Washington, New York. The director of the play, Ms. Gokturk successfully succeeded at perfecting each and every one of the minor details that have made this dramatic piece so remarkable. An immense amount of time, effort and money has been put into this ideal theatrical production!

The play starts out with a soliloquy given by Walter who is played by Harold Perrineau. This scene foreshadows upcoming events in the production. Throughout the play, a ghetto illusion is portrayed, bright lights, loud bang, screams and yells, dark alleys and graffiti make it seem realistic. Later in the play, Seth Gilliam who plays Rakim introduces and pressures Walter into selling drugs for the big bucks. Surprising yet upsetting scenes occur after this. The viewer is left with so many different emotions that makes them question the true values of life. Each scene is filled with startling scenes that make the viewer want more. The performance shows the viewer the extent people go to, to get what they desire. The acting was simply remarkable throughout the entire show. The actors showed emotion and depth through every word they spoke. The scenes were filled with sparks of talent and satisfaction. One of the best scenes was the climax. It kept the viewer in suspense and amusement. The worst part of the play was when it ended. The viewer simply on wanted more throughout the entire piece.

The costumes designed by Katrina Knowles excellently portrayed the "ghetto illusion." The backdrop and sound effects made the set look like the real city. David Katz, famous New York City director, was in charge of all these special effects. The production as a whole was simply entertaining from the beginning straight through then end! I recommend this to all mature audiences.
