This Week in Chester History…

In 1960, Roxbury High School senior English teacher Mae Call, was named female lead in the Chester Theater Group’s production of The Curious Savage. Call also was a member of The Second Nighters, an earlier Chester theater group disbanded during World War II due to a lack of male actors. The comedy by John Patrick was performed in the Chester Elementary School. Proceeds helped pay for the school’s stage curtains. Source: Observer-Tribune.
