As they like it
Swingers dance
The sudden little taste of winter
forced the Huron-Bruce Swingers
to cancel one night of dancing, but
they have since been able to enjoy
Halloween and Hard Times dances.
Neva’s “stone soup” sure is filling!
They are now looking forward to
their Dec. I Christmas dinner and
dance.

It was Shakespeare’s As You Like
It, like you’ve never seen it before.
Twenty technical, OAC drama,
visual arts and music students from
F.E. Madill Secondary School were
selected to work with four profes
sionals from Stratford Festival as
part of the Shakespeare on Wheels
program.
From the theatre were: Keith
Dinicol, an actor, who has directed
the program since 1994; Donna
Feore, a choreographer and director
who is a founding member of the
program, John Colm Leberg, who
does set design and Paul Shilton,
who helped with music.
Eight schools in all have taken
part in the program. Other than the
play the students are the creative
force.
According to drama teacher
Louanna Alexander, “Besides act
ing, the kids picked the period,
which was the 1960s, composed the
music, created the sets. For two
days solid they worked on every
aspect of this production. It was an
incredible process.”
On Friday, the finished result
was presented to a number of stu
dents in two presentations in the
drama room. Following each Dini
col explained the process and
applauded the students’ work. “We
think they are wonderful.”
