Announcing the fall play of 2025: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this exciting dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the evil wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan's resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowing of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur and other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Tumnus the Faun. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.
Auditions will be held in the CHS Theater on Monday and Tuesday, August 11 and 12 from 2:45-4:45. Audition packets will be available on the first day of school.
Our new teachers were on campus Thursday getting to know all the wonderful things about CHS. They started with a mentoring lunch in the library. All teachers will be on Raider Drive on Monday.
