Schoolhouse
By: Leanna Brodie
Directed by Don Fex
We are looking to fill one part in the upcoming play:
The character is that of Ewart , A training school boy that is sent to the small town of Jericho to get a second chance. He is feared and shunned by the town folks save for a few that see past his rough exterior to what he really is. A gentle giant that has a love of language, a heart of gold and a deep buried past.
Auditions for this part ONLY will be held Thursday Feb 2nd from 7-9 pm at Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre.
Schoolhouse will be presented from May 3rd - May 6th, 2012 at Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre.

In 1938 within the walls of S.S. #1 Jericho School, a one-room schoolhouse, a delightful but unmanageable group of children finally meets its match--Melita Linton, an 18 year old teacher fresh out of Normal School.
Schoolhouse explores timeless themes of rejection, of compassion, of damage, of hope. Full of warmth and poignant humour, Schoolhouse evokes a way of life shared by generations of North Americans. It explores the themes of rejection, compassion, damage and hope. The play takes place in and around a one room rural schoolhouse in 1938.
