"It does what a musical is supposed to do: it takes you to another world."

The CHS Drama Guild's "The Drowsy Chaperone" certainly did – just as "Man in Chair" played by Thomas Webb '23 described.

Congratulations to the cast, crew and musicians for three nights of great performances, standing ovations and huge laughs at Scaccia Auditorium under the outstanding guidance of teachers David Hayes '87 (director) and Mia LaMarco (assistant director, choreography director, technical director, set builder) and retired teacher Bill Group (music director).

The CHS Drama Guild presents "The Drowsy Chaperone" Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at our historic Scaccia Auditorium.

Our students excelled along side their fellow outstanding cast members from Clarence, Nardin, Williamsville North, Nichols and Sacred Heart.
