Two Grade 12 students at Port Coquitlam's Riverside secondary will this week present their play, Oh BTW, I'm the Antichrist....
Written, directed, produced and performed by Dylan Matthews and Nick Jennings, the comedy centres around Larry, an average high school student who wants to fit in.

The show runs June 1 to 4 at 7 p.m. at Riverside secondary (2215 Reeve St.). Tickets can be bought at the door.
