Our Fall Play this year is William Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Set during the summer of love, 1969, this version of the classic tale features the music of the late 1960s along with the original text of the play. Join Puck as he invokes you to “Dream a Little Dream of Me” as the story unfolds both in the modern world of the 60s and the bohemian forest life of the faeries. Featuring a large and colorful cast of characters, including hapless lovers, jealous faeries, and a group of actors rehearsing a play for a royal wedding, this tale of love and loss unfolds over the course of two days, and will truly be a show to remember.

The 2019 CHS Winter Musical is Chicago.
In roaring twenties Chicago, chorine Roxie Hart murders a faithless lover and convinces her hapless husband, Amos, to take the rap...until he finds out he's been duped and turns on Roxie. Convicted and sent to death row, Roxie and another "Merry Murderess," Velma Kelly, vie for the spotlight and the headlines, ultimately joining forces in search of the "American Dream": fame, fortune, and acquittal.
