2023-2024 School Year School Play!
Hi everyone!
We've been receiving some questions about the upcoming school play, since yours truly, the librarian, is one of the directors (along with our amazing chorus teacher Ms. Caron). So, we're putting a little blurb about the play itself right here for easy finding! More information will be posted soon!
This year's school play is "Channeling Grimm" by Tracy Wells. Here is the summary:
Cameron doesn’t know what to write for an honors English assignment on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Luckily, friend Jaime has the solution... watch TV versions of the tales! But when Cameron points the unusual looking remote at the screen expecting Netflix or Apple TV, instead they find the wackiest assortment of fairy-tale themed programming! There’s a Project Runway style competition show called “Project Ballgown,” a Frog Prince soap opera called “The Green and the Beautiful,” a game show hosted by Magic Mirror called, ”Who’s The Fairest One of All?,” and a sitcom starring Rumplestiltskin! The teens also find news stories, a Law and Order style show, a movie trailer, and of course, commercials!
Auditions are coming up December 13th and 14th. We hope to see lots of students there!
