Frankenstein is one of the world’s most well-known monsters. The story of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus brings something chilling and eerie to life, and CHHS drama students are excited to show family and friends their twist on the beloved play.
For weeks, these students have been working to make the play come to life. They have been working to make the play something everyone can relax and enjoy, and have been putting their best foot forward when working together.
Senior Kristyona Renville, who is taking on the lead role of Mary, said it’s been a very fun and great experience getting to participate in the play.
“I’m mostly looking forward to getting fully into character and being back on stage, enjoying time with friends and fellow cast members,” Renville said.
She thinks others should see the play because she believes it will be fun for all ages and something you will enjoy with the whole family.
Freshman Annabeth Clarkson is also looking forward to the play and is excited to be part of it in general. She says it’s been amazing seeing how hard the whole cast has worked and how the play is coming together.
“I personally believe that people should come see the play simply due to the amount of care that’s been put into it,” Clarkson said. “Alongside that, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if you could find another theater performing this exact play, it’s not the same.”
Sarah Dakins, the drama coach, is thrilled to see everything come together. She said that students have worked extremely hard and have taken on their roles in the play, really getting into character.
“A play, in some ways, is harder than a musical because the words matter so much; you’re not relying on song and dance to tell a story, it really matters how you say each word, and the actors are leaning into it now.”
So if you’re looking for something fun and eerie to do this spooky season, buy some tickets and support our CHHS drama students. The public shows at The PAC are Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. and Oct. 25 at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online at www.thepac.net
