This weekend Canton High Drama Club is proud to present this year's play, The King Stag. It is a fairy tale full of love, betrayal, magic spells and merriment. Written in the 18th Century by Carlo Gozzi, it is the story of King Deramo and his long search for a queen. When he finds Angela, his love, the story becomes complicated when Tartaglia, the evil minister, also falls in love with Angela.  Spells are cast to send the King's soul into the corpse of a stag and to cast Tartaglia's soul into the King's body. Confusion and fairy tale shenanigans ensue.   

Reviews of other productions of this show indicate that it is a play that will entertain audience members of all ages. I was lucky enough to catch a dress rehearsal and it was quite entertaining.

Throughout the year the students of the Canton High Drama Club put on quality productions thanks to countless hours of rehearsals put in by our high school students, the hard work of the performing arts staff and the dedication of parent volunteers.
