CHS SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL TODAY

From Columbia High School:

 Fifteenth Annual Columbia High School Shakespeare Festival

An all-day event in the 
CHS auditorium featuring 
performances by members of the 
CHS Shakespeare Festival Club, 
SOMS Shakespeare Club, various 
English classes, and anyone willing 
to perform. 

Student performances will occur throughout the day sprinkled 
with video clips, trivia and contests presented by our student 
emcees. 

This year’s theme is The Women of Shakespeare:“And though she 
be but little, she is fierce” (A Midsummer Night’s Dream 3.2.325), 
selected to recognize the often overlooked female characters
of the canon. 

The festival will highlight scenes from Macbeth, The Taming of the
Shrew, The Tempest, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado 
About Nothing, Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet, 
As You Like It, and Antony and Cleopatra.

Each period will begin with a Step Team performance inspired by 
Othello.  The Shakespeare Festival is open to the public and we 
invite the entire MAPSO community to come and partake in the 
festivities!
