All the
World’s a Stage!
The Carrboro High School Theatre Department opens its 2011-2012 season with
William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” In this charming comedy, young men
and women flee tyrannical nobles to the forest amid romantic entanglements and
confusion. Classic Shakespearean misidentification and
love-at-first-sight lead to side-splitting hilarity. The original play
primarily takes place in a French forest, but the Carrboro HS production adds a
unique twist by setting the play in present-day, local North Carolina; it
includes live bluegrass music performed by CHS students. The performance stars
Eliza Filene, Conor O’Kane, Carina Guerra, Andrew Cook, Sara Terrell (also
student Director), Anthony Fraden, Gigi Krachenfels, Nicole Gabriel, Nate
FitzSimons, and Aaron Warshauer and also features Michelle Mason, Katie
Edmiston, Santul Nerkar, Caroline Colman, Emma Siplon, Ally Copenhaver, Will
Pierson, Julia Banks, Jesse Barrow, and Marshall Lynn. The crew is also led by student Assistant
Director Emily Goehlmann and Stage Manager Taylor Norris all under the faculty
direction of Brett Stegall. This is the
second major production since the opening of the school’s state-of-the-art
auditorium. Show times are 7:30
p.m., Thursday through Saturday, November 3-5.
Tickets are $8 for adults, $5 for students, and can be reserved at https://sites.google.com/site/chsreservations/
