Home My WebLink AboutThe Times Advocate, 2005-04-27, Page 2928 Exeter Times–Advocate Wednesday, April 27, 2005 Announcements/Community Ready for school production By AIIy MacGregor and Jesiqua Rapley SPECIAL TO THE T -A EXETER — As the first week of May fast approaches, a group of students at South Huron District High School are busy preparing them- selves for an event that is as physically and emo- tionally draining as it is exhilarating. These are the thespi- ans of the school, and the event for which they are preparing is the annual school show. This year the show is "Return to Eden," a play written and directed by South Huron's own resi- dent drama teacher, Ms. Glenda Burrell. "Return to Eden" is a musical - comedy written about the District of Huron in the years 2047 and 2048, and it features singing, choreographed dancing, live music pro- vided by a portion of South Huron District High School's band (con- ducted by Mr. Robilliard), as well as a little acting of course! Amidst all the fun, there is also an impor- tant message to be found, which Ms. Burrell hopes will have a deep impact upon our school and community. As long-time members of the school show, we can honestly say we have never before been a part of a play like "Return to Eden." The show is our first real "musical the- atre" experience since entering Grade 9 at South Huron three years ago, and it is also a show we feel the community of South Huron can most closely relate to. Although many people could easily relate to last year's "The Farm Show," it is obvious that the community of South Huron is the true inspi- ration for this year's show. With references to everything from local restaurants to Hay Swamp, the- atre -goers may recognize more than just the actors onstage when they come to see "Return to Eden" May 4, 5 and 6. Since October, over 70 students and staff mem- bers have worked tire- lessly to produce the show, and as actors in "Return to Eden," we can safely say it has not been an easy task. However, we have taken it in stride and have had a lot of fun along the way. The rehearsal process is always demanding, but the result makes it all worth- while. After the final perfor- mance, you look back and think about the great people you had the chance to work with, the long rehearsal hours on nights when all you wanted to do was go home, and the laughter you constantly shared with 50 of your peers from all walks of life. Tickets for "Return to Eden" can be bought from Jean Mason in the high school office (235- 0880) for $6. The play is definitely an experience you will never forget, and it is strongly suggested you come out and enjoy this once in a lifetime theatri- cal performance. After you see the show you will be able to hon- estly say, "That charac- ter is just like I was in high school," and hope- fully all your good mem- ories from your own teenage will come flood- ing back. — Ally MacGregor and Jesiqua Rapley are stu- dents at South Huron District High School.
