Shakespeare Festival Update
Unfortunately, as most of you already know, this year's Shakespeare Festival has been cancelled. We're already on the roster for next year though!
Waiting at Pearson Station will be performed at sometime in the future. Kudos to Eirin Murray for writing and directing the piece.
It is a good time to view online productions of Shakespeare's work. The Bard himself would be encouraging you to experience one of his famous plays.

LVR students have attended this well known festival for 18 years. This year students will once again participate in this inspiring event, held in Vernon April 23-25. Check out http://www.goodwillshakespeare.ca for more information. Auditions for the Shakespeare play will be held in late December. A senior student, Eirin Murray, has written a short play in Shakespearean verse called, Waiting at Pearson Station, which she, along with the help of Zac Evans, will direct. Kudos to Erin for her creative initiative and inspired play.
