Centennial Theatrical Productions will present The Prince
and the Pauper. The show will be the culmination of the work of the Theatre
Production/Set Design courses running in semester two. In this two-credit
course, students will start by exploring the time period surrounding the play
in detail including the fashions, the social climate at the time of Henry VIII,
the living conditions in Merry Ole’ England, songs and dances of the period,
the history of doppelgangers and look closely at the works of Mark Twain. Every week, the students will
rehearse inside class time and after school once a week. The students will be
responsible for set designs, costume designs, dance rehearsals and learning
lines. In addition to their in-class time, the 27 keen students who have signed
up for the course along with more than 12 additional lucky students from CSS and Sir John
A. MacDonald School will also attend one after school rehearsal each week
starting in February. The production is set to go on May 23 to 25 for a total
of four performances. Join us this May for a hilarious play and watch our
talented students as they take you into the wonderful adventure story of rich
Prince Edward and poor Tom Canty. For more information, call the school at
