Chateau La Roach

YES Theater is the Ross Valley School District's oldest program and provides 3rd-5th graders at each elementary school and 6th-8th graders at the middle school opportunities to participate in a theater production staffed by professional Bay Area directors, choreographers, musicians and technicians. In addition to performance opportunities, the YES Theater KidTech program provides a unique opportunity for students to staff and run all the technical components of a full-scale production.

This December Yes Theater and White Hill School's 6th graders are proud to present their own production of Chateau La Roach, directed by Ryan O'Donnell. Crawling with slapstick humor and circus-like stage action, this award-winning comic farce will take you through a weekend in the lives of François and Mimi Laroche, the French proprietors of the château on the shores of a peaceful American lake.  The owners are horrified to discover the enormity of their cockroach problem as they prepare for a big weekend of visitors.  Why do the cockroaches have to appear just when they're trying to make a good impression on a famed travel writer?!  On top of that, they've learned the health inspector is making a surprise visit — disguised as a typical guest! Get ready for a roach-slapping good time with these young sixth grade stars!
