Where Detention Gets Deadly: CoSA Unveils “Scary High School” Haunted House at CHS – Oct. 30 & 31

The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) is set to unveil its Haunted House complete with a creepy cafeteria, an eerie art room, a nocturnal nurse and other hair-raising versions of high school staples. Don’t get spooked by the Prom King and Queen, and, by all means, avoid a deadly detention! The Haunted House takes place in the Black Box Theater at Coronado High School at 650 D Avenue on Monday, October 30 and Tuesday, October 31 from 6 to 8 pm. Tickets are on sale at this link.

The all-conservatory collaboration features CoSA scare actors at every turn, according to Karrie Jackson, Creative Advisor with CoSA Visual Arts.

“CoSA Council did a great job generating the theme and ideas for each room and helping stage them, while Technical Theatre brought visions to life with gathering props and building the sets and flats,” said Jackson.

While it was challenging for students to prepare the sets and cast actors during finals week, Jackson said they really came together to create an experience that is engaging, frightening, and fun.

Tickets are $10 adults, seniors, military and $5 for students and staff.
