Strong women center stage

MOSES LAKE — Moses Lake High School senior Llayleni Fuentes has dreamed of staging “Steel Magnolias,” and now she has her chance. “I've been wanting to do the show for the last two years,” Fuentes said. “I asked (MLHS drama teacher Sharon Winningham), what's a really good play for all girls? Because what I've noticed is, there's a lot of men-heavy plays.”
