About This Activity
Dear Parents and Guardians, We are pleased to inform you that your child has been selected to attend a prestigious Theatre Festival in Kelowna, British Columbia, taking place February 25–27. This opportunity is offered to a limited number of students and recognizes their commitment, talent, and positive contribution to our theatre program. The festival is three full days of inspiring keynote speakers, hands-on workshops, performances, and social activities, bringing together young artists and theatre professionals from across the province. It is designed to challenge students creatively while allowing them to connect with peers who share a passion for the performing arts. Students will choose one of two learning streams: Drama Rotation, which allows students to experience a wide variety of workshops in drama, dance, writing, art, and related disciplines, or Intensive Workshops, where students work with the same instructor for all three days and present their learning in the Gala Showcase at the conclusion of the festival.
