CHS Takes Part In Theater Day at CSC

     On Thursday October 6th a group of Chadron High students went to Chadron State College for Theater Day.
    Theater Day is where students from different high schools go to Chadron State College and learn how to show their talents in different ways. There are two sessions and each year there are different classes you can take. Some of those classes are "No Fear Shakespeare," which was taught by Kyle Baumann, "All That Jazz" taught by Taylor Thies, "Theater Games" taught by Nathan Wojciechowski, "Take a Knap (hand-to-hand combat)" taught by Wacey Gallegos, and many more. These sessions last for an hour each and there are two rounds of sessions. At eleven students had a break for lunch and then they had to be back at noon to watch the play. This year the play was "Peter and The Starcatcher," directed by Roger Mays.
     Brenda Lanphear, English Teacher and One Acts Coach, stated, "I am very proud to have had the chance to watch not only my students and actors but my seniors as they displayed their talent and senior leadership."
     Mrs. Lanphear said that the first session she went to was the Theater Games. There she had the chance to watch and participate. "Theater Games was definitely my favorite session to be a part of," stated by Mrs. Lanphear.
     Grace Sorenson, student and actress, stated, "I am content with the sessions I went to and would not change any of the sessions she attended for anything."
    Claire Margetts, student and actress, states that "Theater Day helps kids feel comfy with who they are, and it teaches them to not care about what others' think about them."
     Margetts has a passion for acting. She said that if she could have gone to any session in the day she would have gone to makeup.
     Sorenson, on the other hand, made it to makeup for the first session and she said it was a blast. "By far my favorite class," is what Sorenson said.
     As a whole they all had the same feeling about how Theater Day affects students.
