Notes

On Saturday, 34 drama students attended TNB's rendition of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.  Students were blown away by the elaborate settings, seamless set changes, and dynamic cast.  Preceding Treasure Island was an opening act entitled The Marketeer based on WW Boyce Farmers' Market in Fredericton.  No long before the curtains rose, HMS students walked directly from the Fredericton Saturday market to the Playhouse for this performance!  What a great way to experience and learn about the tradition of the Farmers Market in New Brunswick!  It was surely a great time had by all.  A special thanks to Mrs Helen Jones and the Miramichi Friends of TNB, as well as parent drivers Mr Godin, Mr McKinnon and Mr and Mrs Savard.  Please see the corresponding photo gallery:  http://hms.nbed.nb.ca/gallery/treasure-island-adventure-drama-2010
Drama Students and Parents,  FINAL CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION ABOUT DEPARTURE TIME: The bus will leave Harkins Middle School parking lot at 10:30 am.  Please be there at 10:15am in advance.  REMEMBER:Students must bring a bagged lunch.  We will eat on the bus before the play begins at 2pm at the playhouse.  We will eat again at the food court.  Students will receive $10 each for supper.   SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION! Yours in theatre, Ms.  Barrieau

  Things to Remember to Bring to Drama Festival   ****Your Costume and Props**** -          Good Walking Sneakers -          Extra Spending Money -          Towels, Faceclothes and Optional Flip-Flops for the Shower -          Shampoo, Soap etc. -           An Optional Light Blanket and/or Pillow for Traveling etc. -          All Other Basic Travel Appareil (Clothing for 3 days, toothbrush & paste, …)    Please note: -  Electronics are acceptable to bring, but are not allowed in the theatres during plays.  You must pay special attention not to lose your device since we will not interrupt our time at the festival, looking for lost i-pods etc.    -  PLEASE KEEP PACKING LIGHT!  We must take 41 people and their luggage on one bus and packing the bus can prove to be very challenging.  If possible, bring softer gym-like bags, since they fit under the seats much easier.      We will be loading the bus at 8:30am Monday morning.  Please be at the Harkins main door ready to roll for that time.   Thanks!   Miss Barrieau and Mrs. Tucker
