On Thursday, Jan. 25 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s drama department hosted its third annual Douglas Night Live show, based off of the show “Saturday Night Live” on NBC,  showcasing students’ comedy skits that reference relatable ideas and modern topics in school and in the world.

“I loved being creative with writing for Douglas Night Live because we’re always normally confined to perform what is given in front of us, yet now we were able to write our own scripts,” Wind said.

MSD drama plans on continuing the relatively new tradition for future years with new skits and musical performances.
