This December 17 & 18 • 6:45 PM • on the HCAM Cafeteria Stage, our theatre students will debut an entirely new, original play, A Cajun Biscuit Christmas, written by Ms. Sweet and set right here in the snowy mountains of Western North Carolina. The story unfolds on Christmas Eve inside a tiny, cozy, slightly falling-apart mountain diner where a group of strangers find themselves snowed in for the night.
