RJC On Stage - Sneak Preview!

The Theatre Arts and Musical Theatre classes gave a sneak preview in chapel in preparation for their show on Sunday and Monday.  Theatre Arts is presenting Alfred Hitchcock's "The 39 Steps" - a live radio play murder-mystery.  Musical Theatre is presenting excerpts from John-Michael Tebelak's "Godspell" (music by Stephen Schwartz.)

"The 39 Steps"

Kelsey is the murder victim.

Brandon and Joe play bumbling cops.

Morgan begins the play as John the Baptist, and later transitions to Judas.

Ryan plays the role of Jesus.

Jesus paints his disciples' faces to symbolically claim them into his "tribe."

Godspell is a collection of stories and parables from the Gospel according to St. Matthew. Here Sarah and Alyssa act out one such parable.

Benjamin holds nothing back.

"Come sing about LOVE!"

There are still tickets available, though Sunday is filling up fast! Call soon! Show time is 7:30 on both days. Tickets are $10 each. 306.232.4222

Chorale at the Valley Action Banquet

Chorale was the guest performer at the Valley Action Banquet last night in Rosthern.  Thank you Cameron Nicolle for inviting us. It was an honour to contribute in our way to your great organization!

Concert Choir and Chorale at Eigenheim

Concert Choir and Chorale sang at Eigenheim Mennonite Church this past Sunday morning for their worship service.  It was perhaps a little crowded up at the front of the church, but it was a great morning nonetheless!  Thank you to Eigenheim for hosting us and feeding us. It was great to see such a packed church on Sunday!
