    This is Chad’s second time performing in It’s a Scream! In 2016, he played Maxie under the direction of Craig Row. He has performed in multiple productions with the Ritz community theater since then. Highlights of his time on stage were his performance as Michael in God of Carnage in the 2019 Texas Non-Profit Theatre Association’s Quad Fest, where he was chosen as part of the All-Star Cast. He directed The Addams Family this last summer, in which he played Gomez Addams. Goebel works for The Snyder News as the lead reporter and editor. “I would like to thank Craig Row for taking a chance on some strange guy that showed up to auditions; after working with you on just one show, I wish we could have had more time. I know our odd creative minds would have done something epic or disastrous. Either way, it would have been fun.” Goebel has been a board member with The Ritz since 2018 and was recently elected president in August.
