CHS Drama Guild presents "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"
Keith McShea

Two nights to Opening Night!

The next great CHS Drama Guild musical – “The Mystery of Edwin Drood” – will be presented at historic Scaccia Auditorium Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

All shows are 7:30 p.m. You can get your tickets now at canisiushigh.org/drama

Get ready for lots of audience participation and an ending that even the actors won’t know until the very end of this hilarious comedy, which brings to life Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel.

We can't wait for audiences to see our students perform along with their fellow outstanding actors from Buffalo Seminary, Nardin Academy, Nichols School, Lancaster High School, Lewiston-Porter High School and Williamsville South High School.
