Auditions did not take place until right before Christmas break. "I worked on the set crew in 'Shrek the Musical' last year, but this is my first time in the cast of a show.
Emma Bryant, senior, plays "Mae," the mother of Winnie. It feels really good to know that if I have issues with my performance, the cast and crew back me up and help me get through it. We got a late start with the play due to numerous reasons, but everyone has been chipping in and helping me learn the ropes. As a rookie, it has been stressful for me. Kaci Trost, a sophomore, plays the role of the "Stranger in the Yellow Suit." "I am the villain of the show. I am getting lots of good support from the cast and crew, which helps me with my adjustment to the stage." As a kid I was part of the kids camp in the CHS production of 'Annie'. This is my first time on stage in a main role. "I am actually doing better than I thought I could. Ary Shipley, freshman, plays the role of "Granny" and is one of the youngest members of the cast. We use lots of feeling and emotion to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together to get to the end scene of our play." As compared to musicals where the cast is backed up by music and a lot of flashy dancing, in a stage play, the cast has to take the stage and really act to get the audience involved. "We have been working together as a team or family throughout the preparation of this show. Julia Venus, junior, plays "Winnie," one of the other lead roles. We have come a long way since we started many weeks ago!" I am getting really close to our cast and crew and have learned that we can be as good as we want to be. "As a person in a lead role, I have had to work hard and have a lot of confidence. Wetzel's stage experience includes a role in the CHS production of "The Little Mermaid" as a kid in the theater camp. 
Noah Wetzel, junior, plays the role of Angus, the family patriarch of the Tuck Family. Now meet some of the cast and crew responsible for bringing "Tuck Everlasting" to the stage: Saturday on the Chester High School Theater Club Facebook page. If you can't make it to a performance, the final show will be streamed on Facebook at 7 p.m. Tickets are available from cast and crew members, at the door, or by calling the school office at (618) 826-2302. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. The show runs Thursday to Saturday, March 17-19, with performances at 7 p.m. They are excited to begin their four-performance 2022 show." "These kids have faced COVID restrictions, a late start, and several other slowdowns but have managed to get the job done. "The kids have worked hard to get the show ready and now they have the opportunity to see the fruits of their labors," said Rana Hodge, drama club sponsor. The Chester High School Drama Club's presentation of "Tuck Everlasting" opens Thursday on CHS Juergen's Gymnasium stage.
