The HMS drama club is planning a day trip to the Playhouse in Fredericton on Saturday, December 3rd to see TNB's Gift of the Magi.  Tickets and busing will be $25 and students should bring a bagged lunch and money for supper at the Regent Mall.  Last year we also had enough time to check out the Boyce Farmers Market in the morning before the show.  We will likely leave at 10am and return by 8pm.  More details to follow.  We are only allotted 20 participants, so those who pay first will secure their seats (anyone can come, even if you're not in drama!).  These trips are always memorable and nothing beats live, professional theatre, so bring in your payment to Ms Barrieau if you'd like to participate!  Mlle B http://www.tnb.nb.ca/2011/10/the-gifts-of-the-magi/

Hello All! We had a stellar time at Drama Festival 2011.  Aside from seeing plays, participating in workshops and dancing-it-up, we came away with the following recognition awards:   Outstanding Actor:  Jared Malley Outstanding Supporting Actors:  Samantha Godin and Lauren Henderson Outstanding Use of Costume:  HMS Drama Club Special Ajudicator's Mention for Casting:  Ms Tucker & Ms Barrieau We will perform our highly acclaimed play "Dress Rehearsal for Murder" with our fantastic opening skits this WEDNESDAY at 7pm for the public at the MVHS theatre.  $5 at the door.  Come one, come all!  You will not be disappointed! We will perform two shows earlier in the day (morning) for our fellow Harkins students.  We will have a line run-through Tuesday at lunch.  Everyone is required to attend. In other news, winner of the Awesome Drama Mother's Day Basket was Don Thurston.  Congratulations Don!  Please see the synopsis of our play below.  Also check out the photo gallery:  http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/gallery/drama-fest-2011 Yours in Drama, Ms Barrieau & Ms Tucker At the isolated Bide A Wee Bed and Breakfast, an eclectic group of guests, including the famous young heiress, Riviera Carlton, gather for some rest and relaxation.  When Riviera’s fiancé, Bernard the Mime, turns up dead and his body then disappears, the list of suspects is long — seems like there isn’t a man in the place who’s not vying for Riviera’s affection.  The list grows longer as secrets are revealed...  Bernard had also asked Bettye, a ridiculous “has-been” actress, to marry him.  Tensions heat up to a boiling point with the arrival of Ron “The Ronald” Carlton, Riviera’s father, who spouts “You’re fired!”  as if it were “Good day”!  And when Inspector Barish shows up with his newly acquired gun, which he has no idea how to use, it’s certifiable mayhem!  It takes every bit of logic and deduction for the inspector to solve the mystery of the missing mime.  With loads of quirky dialogue, zany stage action and a “no murder after all” ending, your audience will enjoy themselves so much they’ll want to bide a wee longer!
