The hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history! 

School’s out for summer, but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to re-take the class in summer school.  First year teacher Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project.  Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra’s bracelet brings them to life!  King Henry VIII finds himself smitten with Cleopatra, making his queen, Anne Boleyn, furious.  If she can just not lose her head, John Adams is there to serve as her divorce attorney!  When Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Blackbeard and a bevy of lady pirates show up, everybody’s out for one thing — treasure!  Supposedly, there’s a mighty valuable one hidden in the museum!  It’s a wild goose chase to find it, with a greedy museum landlord and her bumbling son joining in the mad search.  And why is Lizzie Borden lurking in the shadows, since the aunts say they never had a wax figure of her?!  Join the hilarious fun as treasure-hungry outlaws, pirates and royalty mount the greatest siege since Vicksburg! 

Wax historical in this mad-cap comedy adventure where the magic of history comes alive...  literally! The menu for the 8th annual Columbia High School Dinner Theatre is fit for a king: sliced turkey, wild rice, fresh green beans, rolls, cobbler, tea/lemonade.

The Columbia High School Theatre Department has been producing high-quality theatrical productions in the north Florida community for many years.  CHS Theatre is proud to perform in the Norman L. Choice Performing Arts Center, named for the chorus teacher who impacted thousands of students at CHS. 

Currently, the CHS Theatre department boasts a comprehensive four-year acting and technical theatre program. Students can study both aspects. Alumni have gone on to study theatre in college and perform in many venues. CHS Theatre produces at least four main-stage shows each year: a theatre camp production in the summer, a non-musical play in the fall, a one-act play and mystery dinner theatre in the winter, and a musical play in the spring. 

Additionally, the department competes annually in the Florida District 2 Theatre Festival and Florida State Theatre Festival.  CHS Theatre is also a member of the International Thespian Society. Our Troupe 2934/Drama Club is the largest club on the CHS campus and one of the most active. Current troupe director and show producer is Mrs. Crystal Ingram Free.
