Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Wednesday, October 22nd, 2014 our classes will be attending “Dear Edwina,” a Do It with Class production, in the Riddell Centre Theatre at the University of Regina.  The cost of the matinee is $10.00 AND the cost of the bus is $1.50.  Please send $11.50 in cash or pay on-line.  Thank you.  The production begins at 12:30 p.m. 
 

Here is a little information about the performance:

Dear Edwina, a heart-warming children’s musical tells the tale of 13- year-old, Edwina Spoonapple, who directs and produces musical productions as a way of providing “Dear Abby” type advice to her family and friends. “Dear Edwina” premiered Off Broadway in 2008 and received two 2009 Drama Desk Award nominations for Outstanding Music and Lyrics.

This adorable Do It With Class Young Peoples’ Theatre production involves more than 20 young talented performers from Regina and southern Saskatchewan, including a couple of our very own Jack MacKenzie students.

We would like all students to pack a lunch. We will be eating lunch in the classroom before we leave.  The bus is picking us up at Jack MacKenzie at 11:40 AM.   

Sincerely,

Kelley Reoch, Angela Scott, Kyle DuMont, Kevin Yeske
