Theater is alive and well among the young people of Catonsville.
In November, Catonsville High School will pesent Arther Milller's "The Crucible." This play is based on the actual events in 1692, that led to the Salem Witch Trials, a series of hearings before local magistrates to prosecute over 150 people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts, between February 1692 and May 1693. Students who attend CHS, especially Mr. McDaniel's English class, will study this play. John Proctor will be played by Nick Huber
In December, Catonsville Middle School will present "Willie Wonka" . This childhood favorite will be another fine musical production, complete with superb special effects. You will be amazed and dazzled bu this group of middle school students who sing, dance prepare sets, arrange props and operate the stage and sound crews.
Also in December, Relays STAR Community Theater presents "Scrooge and Marley" This lighter version of the Traditional Dickens story is appropriate for the entire family. The audience will be invited to sing carols between scenes and all of the profit will be donated to a local charity selected by the children in the cast. STAR is masterful with sets and staging. The theater seats only 125 people, so advanced tickets are a must. Scrooge is played by Nick Huber.
If you truly want to enter the Christmas season with a song in your heart, I recommend Tuba Christmas, directed by Catonsville High Schools Jim Wharten. Held outside at Baltimore's Inner Harbor, over 200 base brass players assemble the first Saturday in December at 3pm to play Christmas Carols. From musicians from all over the state, between 12 and 82, some from the high schools, Raven's marching band and Maryland colleges, come together once a year to bring joy to so many. If you love base brass, or if you have never experienced base brass (tubas, euphoniums,) this is your chance to learn to love these instruments.
If you would like more information about any of these events, please let me know. I hope to see you there!
