Travel around the world and explore forgotten myths and unusual legends in eight fast-paced and hilarious tales! Guided by a band of players, the audience is transported from the ancient Far East, where a hero must kill a giant centipede to save a dragon king, to the Russian countryside, where a poor orphan must defeat three witches who stole his grandfather's eyes. Always quirky, and sometimes bizarre, these eight tales are filled with magic, mystery, and morals. (Playscripts)

The Port Chester High School Drama Club provides an exciting opportunity for students to work as a cooperative team in the production of two large-scale theatrical productions per year: a Fall Play and Spring Musical. Students design, run crew, publicize, and manage the entire process under the supervision of the advisor (Ms. Baurle) who facilitates the artistic, business, and technical aspects of production.

The 2021-2022 school year will also include our first ever “Found Space” Production: a completely student written, directed, designed, and performed production to be produced this spring after the musical.
