Hey there, time traveller!

Auditions were held in November and rehearsals began in January for the Crocus Plains production of the well-known musical “Hairspray.”
All six sold-out shows were held in the Convention Hall at the Keystone Centre from April 30 to May 2. More than 850 people attended the second annual dinner theatre, which is modelled after professional dinner theatres such as Celebrations in Winnipeg and Jubilee in Calgary.
“Staff and students developed characters, and remained in character while serving their tables,” said drama and alternative education teacher Ramey Praznik. “It was an interactive experience where audience members were invited on stage (but not forced if they were uncomfortable).
“The meal was a delicious presentation that revealed just some of the potential of our culinary arts program. We had over 40 Crocus staff involved in the production, including, but not limited to serving in role, building sets, stage management, taking photos, sewing costumes, creating and painting sets, and preparing the food.
“The show was a reflection of the diversity and collaboration of the fantastic people and programs at Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School.”
