Talent plays a big part in being in a musical. Being outgoing, unshy, willing to take criticism, taking orders, and having patience were just a few characteristics of a good dramatic and musical student.

Knights Play: A Night at SHS The Skyline High School Drama Department presented a set of fall plays entitled A Night ln Camelot . Both plays, King Arthur's Calamity and What Women Want Most were centered on the legends surrounding the Knights of the Round Table. The director, Chris Yetter, chose these particular plays because most people are familiar with Camelot and enjoy plays about kings, queens, knights and dragons. Also, she believes that these plays are fun to do for everyone involved. Auditions were held two weeks before the performance. Chris Yetter looked for actors and actresses with the ability to read a part well and to interpret a character from a script they had never seen before. Students needed to demonstrate good, strong voices with lots of expression. Chris Yetter is a drama major now teaching at Mead Jr. High School. She previously taught at Skyline and really enjoys working with students at the high school level.
