The Manor School Drama Club hosted their annual performance on Wednesday, June 15. This year they hosted a dinner theatre in the school gym, which was very well attended.
The dinner portion of the theatre was run by the School community Council, students, and staff. This included the preparation of the meal by Rylan and Cindy Weir along with the Manor School Foods 30 class taught by Michelle Cundall, co-director of the show.
“People could purchase tickets to the dinner and show or just come to the show,” Korinn Riddell, co-director, explained.
The cast and crew included youth from grades five to 11.
“We had 15 students working on it, which is quite a lot, considering the school only has just over 80 students in total,” Riddell added.
The youth prepared for over two months for their performance of “Ten Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse,” by playwright Don Zolidis.
The play was chock full of hilarity as the comedic guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse was explained. Suggestions included sacrificing the weak to try to save yourself to learning Kung Fu.
Riddell added, “the play was quite humorous and the kids got a lot of laughs and many compliments afterwards.”
Performing on the production were Kara Brimner, Ross Brimner, Kyle Bye, J'Naya Cunningham, Jeremy Haight, Trista Kennett, Hannah Littlechief, Elizabeth McWhan, Desiree Riddell, Destiny Riddell, and Vincent Shackleton.
Nothing is possible, however, without a great crew which included Missy Biermann, Shay-lynne Englot, Dominique Jurista, and Aiza Weir. They were joined by several cast members who also helped behind the scenes as well.
