The first one, on October 13, CHS Theatre students created their own Haunted House for Charity that included almost 50 students throughout as "scare-actors" and crew. They raised over $200 and 1000 lbs of food Then just a week later they joined forces with Student Council to put on another spooky night of scares for the CHS Haunted House.Fall Play 2017 - The Bottom of the LakeDirector: Stephanie Likes

Summer camp. The memories. The s’mores. The campfire. The ghost stories. Dani’s out in the middle of the woods at night, alone, without a flashlight. She meets three girls from another camp, and the new friends tell ghost stories to pass the time. After each of their stories comes to life onstage, only one story remains to be told – a story none of them saw coming. An awesome combination of ghost stories, urban legends, teen issues, romance, absurd comedy, and film noir, all in a single play!
