Drama 8 and 9 Field Trip

On Thursday, the students of Drama 8 and 9 attended a field trip to Central Memorial High School to see a performance of Treasure Island. The students had a great time watching the production and after the show, we were invited to stick around for a "talk back" where students were allowed to ask the cast and crew any questions that they had about the performance or story. This was very helpful as the students will be writing a performance review based on what they saw. This will need to comment on acting, costumes, make-up, sound, lighting, special effects, etc. They will have class-time to complete this assignment and it tentatively due for Nov. 30th.

Remembrance Day

On Friday, we had two assemblies in honour of Remembrance Day. Many drama students were involved in these assemblies by helping with sound, lighting, and being the MC's. The Drama 9 class also presented a self-created tribute to the Battle of Passchendaele. The students worked hard as an ensemble to collaborate on ideas and develop a complete performance piece. Students created the script, set, gathered costumes and props, and found appropriate music and sound effects. Students did an amazing job of not only creating the scene, but also performing with minimal rehearsal time. Thank you to everyone that helped with the assemblies, they were very well received!

Spring Production

This year we will be having an evening of one-acts for our spring performance. We will be performing both Cafe Murder  and Murder at the Ban...
