Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please find info to support you this upcoming week. Our band students had a great trip this week to camp and had a chance to work with clinicians while they were there. Thanks to Mr. Brown and Mr. Willms for your leadership and extensive planning that goes into these trips. Our Debate students competed at Churchill on Friday and our Model UN were at All Saints Friday and Saturday. Thanks to our teacher sponsors Mr. Berry, Ms. Pelletier and Mr. Raveen for your support of them and for teaching our students the skills of strategic thinking and public speaking.
Drama Update
33 Neo-Futurist Plays from Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind
(33 Plays in 66 Minutes) by Greg Allen December 4, 5 | 9, 11, 12 at 7:00pm
A rapid-fire theatrical experience where thirty short plays are performed in just sixty-six minutes. Each play is a new experience, exploring humour, heartbreak, and everything in between. The audience has a role in determining each show’s order, so every performance is unique.
Tickets for this year’s production of 33 Neo-Futurist Plays in 66 Minutes from Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind are Pay-What-You-Can (cash only) at the door on the night of the performance. You can pay whatever cash you’ve brought with you to donate to the theatre program at Scarlett. Pay $9 + the roll of a 6 sided die. That’s 10 to 15 dollars depending on your luck! The drama department officially guarantees that you will have a seat reserved SPECIFICALLY FOR YOU for this and every performance. This show has some swear words and is probably not appropriate for young children.
