CMHS Drama - a history of excellence in theatre
Cheyenne Mountain High School is located in Colorado Springs, CO at the base of the Rocky Mountains. The school was established in 1872 and consisted of a 12-foot by 12-foot one-room school house on the south side of Cheyenne Creek near present-day Cresta Road.
A screen shot from Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The Tragedians are about to perform The Murder of Gonzago with additions written by Hamlet. Needless to say, the play is not well-received by King Claudius and Queen Gertrude.
