It is with great satisfaction that Mr Horn teaches stage sound/lighting processes and techniques for students in the AV Club the past 15 years at Clifton High School. His goal is for the students to work together in a team-oriented partnership, using audio and lighting equipment, in an effort to produce the most technically creative decisions for all of our CHS productions! The student designers and electricians work on both our fall play and spring musical each year making sure our actors and scenery both look and sound great.

Maryann has been working in local theater for over 12 years starting with the CHS Fall Play in 2007 when her son was cast in the show.
