2021-2022

Jame and the Giant Peach

Former Camp Catamount camper and 4-year senior Jayda Hage directed this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic tale, James and the Giant Peach. The play was performed outdoors in the amphitheater at Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park. Despite the rain, we had the largest audience of all time with around 700 people opening night, 100 at the matinee (65-80 remained for the entire show through intense rain), and about 150 on closing night.

I Never Saw Another Butterfly (Photos #2 and #3)
A class project directed by Hayley Mateus

An amazing telling of the story belonging to Raja Englanderova, a survivor of Terezin during the dark season of the Holocaust. She shares her experience with living in the concentration camp while still retaining a world filled with butterflies.

Gruesome Grimms' Fairy Tales
A collection of three gruesome, witty fairytales created by the Brothers Grimm. Including a gullible boy, a young maiden exposed to her cannibal fiance and his meaty crew, and three sisters who have fallen victim to a cruel wizard, the show is full of comedy, adventure, and can definitely be deemed "gruesome."

Arsenic and Old Lace (Photos #4, #5, and #6)

Senior play directed by Emily Liberatore

Along with a young writer’s reputation already on the line with the simple engagement to the woman he loves, matters manage to make themselves worse when he discovers on his wedding day that his beloved maiden aunts are habitual murderers.

Taming of the Shrew (Photos #7, #8, and #9)

A collaboration with the English Department

A tale full of lust, humor, and deception. At the expense of one of the noblemen winning the hand of the youngest daughter Bianca, who is nothing but perfect, they must first tame the eldest daughter, Katherine, in order to find her a husband.

Our Town (Photo #10)

A collaboration with the English Department

An interesting approach was taken in our stage telling of the story on the fictional small town of Grover's Corners. It explores the relationship between Emily Webb and George Gibbs, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance.
