The College of Charleston and the historic Dock Street Theater were the destinations for a daylong field trip for grades 8-12 on October 24. At the College of Charleston, Kingfishers met up with TGS alumna Avery Rose (2018), who shared her extensive knowledge of the campus and the ghosts that supposedly inhabit it. After hearing Avery Rose’s tales of haunted dormitories and cursed paths, the group settled down at the Cistern to enjoy a peaceful lunch, then a walk to the Dock Street Theater. At the theater, they saw the Charleston Stage production of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. Everyone agreed it was a thrilling performance, with some students and even teachers in tears at the play’s heartbreaking conclusion.
