Actors’ Studio
Actors’ Studio is a
John Rennie program in which sixty students from grades
nine to eleven, working as actors and technicians, mount
two large-scale productions every year. This year, both
shows are exploring a theme that reoccurs throughout
history in literature and in theater…Witches!
Rehearsals are underway for the first show, Roald Dahl’s
classic story The Witches, adapted by
David Wood and directed by Ms Chalmers. Divided into
seven short plays, it tells of one boy’s adventure when
he and his fearless grandmother get mixed up in some
child-hating witches’ evil scheme. It will be presented
to the school and to the public during the first week of
December.
Simultaneously being rehearsed is Dark of the Moon, John
Rennie’s second production. Directed by Mr. Colley, the
show will be presented at the end of January.

Improv
Many amazing performers tried out, but in the end,
twenty students from grade eight to eleven have been
chosen for John Rennie High School’s two improv teams.
Coached by Ms Chalmers and alumni Logan Boyce and Bruce
Malcolm, these teams will compete in the Quebec Improv
Games in February.
