The 2003 WINTER PLAY is underway. Students worked with

the directors to select the Alfred Jarry classic Ubu Roi. One of the

most excessive political caricatures, Ubu Roi ranks with the most

original and powerful burlesques of all time. Performances in

Strom will be February 27 and February 28. The production will

be the CHRHS entry in the annual Maine Drama Festival and this

year we will be in Rockland for Regionals the weekend of March 5-

6. The State Finals are being held in Strom on March 19-20. So,

mark your calendars.

Come Support Ubu Roi at The Maine Drama

Festival

Actors and designers have been working since December on

Ubu Roi, the CHRHS entry in the 2004 Maine Drama

Festival. The Regional competition this year is at Rockland

District HS March 5-6. There will be three sessions of

performances. The first session will be Friday evening at 6

p.m. with 4 plays. Ubu Roi will perform in the second

session which begins at noon on Saturday. The third and

final session begins at 7 p.m. Saturday.

At Rockland, ten schools will compete for two slots at the

State Finals, which are being held this year in Strom

Auditorium (March 19-20.) Sponsored by the Maine

Principal's Association, Maine Drama Festival performances

are open to the public. Tickets will be available at the door

($7 adult/$4 student for each session.) Proceeds go to the

MPA. Ubu Roi cast and crew welcome your support at

Rockland on March 6 and again at the States if we are

chosen to advance.

The cast below is from this page: http://www.fivetowns.net/chrhs/StromAud/Ubu_program.htm
Because of discrepancies with the other Camden cast lists, I have preserved it separately as the cast for the March 20th performance, but there is really NO indication that it should be associated specifically with these dates only or that one or other of the cast lists is simply incorrect.
