"As You Like It" You might think a high
school play wouldn't be possible without carpenters, lighting
specialists, and a director. And you'd be right. But
you'd be wrong if you thought all these roles couldn't be filled by
students. For the first time ever, CK McClatchy
High School is turning over all aspects of its fall production
of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" to the students. We'll
speak with student director Will Block - who also adapted the play,
designed the sets, cast the actors, and arranged the music - and
McClatchy Drama Instructor Patrick Stratton, who is advising the
students.
