Capital High School Theatre is proud to present DramaFest 2024 on November 21st, 22nd, and 23rd at 7 PM, with an additional matinee performance at 2 PM on the 23rd. All performances will be held at the CHS Performing Arts Center, 2707 Conger Ave Olympia, WA.

 

DramaFest 2024 is made up of three different plays, all student-written and directed!

 

The Secret Number

When a brilliant mathematician descends into madness, he finds an integer that exists between three and four that could alter reality itself. This mind-bending thriller follows his psychiatrist as he struggles to figure out what’s real while the line between obsession and reality blurs.

 

An Ordinary Day: An Ordinary Play

This black comedy is a really dumb Hero’s Journey starring Bob Roberts, a bored preteen living in a typical boring town. After complaining about wanting some adventure, he’ll soon go through a day of conflict, humor, and thrills, learning that adventure is always around the corner- if you look around, that is.

 

The Same World

What appears to be a petty girl fight gives way into a myriad of contrasting perspectives as those involved recount their version of the day's events. This fourth-wall-breaking show explores the complexity of the human experience and the effect stereotyping and assumptions have on our world.

General Admission: $5
