Blakelock High School recently had a serious case of the acting bug as local drama students put on two plays for their peers and the public. Last week, Grade 10 drama students staged their production of Robert Munsch: A Lifetime of Stories. The play was a collaboration of several different popular Robert Munsch stories and told from the perspective of a grandmother, her children and grandchildren looking through an old memory box -- each item in the box was related to one of Munsch's stories. Pictured, Mortimer -- played by Kyle Old -- plays air guitar during a dress rehearsal. Last month, Grade 12 drama students put on a Murder Mystery show to entertain crowds.
