Klondike Rag a Huge Success

On February 10th, the school hosted a presentation by the Canadiana Musical Theatre Company entitled The Klondike Rag. As outlined in the synopsis, “When down and out vaudeville performers hear about the discovery of Klondike gold, the rush is on! But when they unearth no gold and face starvation, the "Flim-Flam Brothers" must resurrect their failed vaudeville show at the newly built Palace Grand Theatre in Dawson City. With Soapy Smith, Sam Steele, Arizona Charlie Meadows, Klondike Kate, and a cast of incorrigible wheeler dealers, this rollicking Ragtime musical is a fast and furious turn of the century vaudeville comedy written by the "Ragtime Kid" from the Palace Grande Theatre in Dawson City.”

A great time was had by all with many teachers commenting that this was one of the most unique, educational and entertaining presentation to grace the gym in quite some time. Remember, parents are always welcome to attend these events so check the calendar, check in at the office, and enjoy!
