About Checking In
At the Regency Arms Hotel, the comfort of the guests comes first—and no one knows that better than bellhop Bernard and housekeeper Natasha. But while Bernard tries to woo Natasha and manage the guests’ luggage, it’s the other baggage the guests brought that keeps him on his toes! Checking In tells a lifetime of stories including an expectant mom going into labor, a teenager learning to see the world beyond a screen, a couple finding love, the craziness of traveling with kids and, finally, waiting too long to take that dream vacation. These stories, and more, reflect the theme that “life is a journey—travel it well” and remind us that as we travel through life, it's the people we journey with who make it special.

The Central High School Theatre Department aims to provide a superb theatre education, striving to expose students to all theatrical aspects, and generate well-rounded, creative individuals with experience applicable to the real-world.
The Theatre Program at Central High School addresses a student's complex, intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and cultural world. As an intellectual tool, Theatre not only teaches facts and figures, but routinely invites analysis, judgment, and synthesis. Central's Theatre Program encourages cooperative learning, team work, organization, and leadership skills while seamlessly integrating all aspects of the art form: script writing, acting, designing, directing, researching, comparing art forms, analyzing, critiquing, and understanding contexts. At Central High School, we teach students to see the creative world of theatre through multiple perspectives: the playwright, actor, designer, director, and discerning audience member and we encourage our students to view and deconstruct dramatic works as not only a collection of denotative and connotative meanings, but as a metaphoric vision of life that invites, supports, and celebrates varied interpretations. Central High School students are able to express emotion in a safe environment, and learn how to calibrate their emotional responses to various stimuli. Central's Theatre Program endows all students with insight and physicality, offering them the opportunity to explore areas of interaction within their social or formal domain.
