For the first time since the COVID-19 outbreak, the CHS Drama Club got students back on the stage with the fall production of “Peter and the Starcatcher.” On Nov. 20 and 21, friends, families and students packed the cafeteria to enjoy the fully student-run production. Senior Maggie Schneider directed the play alongside producer senior Ainsley Lang. Due to the pandemic, the two girls missed the opportunity to have a year of assistant experience under their belts.

“It definitely was challenging especially because we didn’t have a lot of guidance with that aspect of drama club. But…we didn’t have the restrictions put on us where we had to follow a certain set of rules that were in place beforehand. We were sort of able to make it up as we went along and create our own rules,” Schneider says of the experience.
