Musical Theater
The Musical Theater department is an integral part of both the Theater and Choral Departments at Crystal Lake Central. Every year, the two departments combine to produce a March Musical. The show involves over 100 students playing roles in the cast on stage, in the crews backstage and the orchestra in the pit. A variety of faculty and staff come together to support the students as leaders in the production.
