LCHS Drama Department & Barons' Court Theatre

A great time was had at the Drama 20 Showcase Tonight - the students shared their own work, and their comedic talents with family and friends, and we are grateful for everyone who came out to support! Congrats to our actors, writers and directors!

For our final performance of the school year, come out and see our Drama 20 Students perform their chosen short comedies, and get a sneak peek at a student play written by Devin Chahley and edited by Naheel Qureshi, that is in development for 2027’s One Act Festival.

Did you end up missing our One Act Showcase this week? Well, you’re in luck - We have one final performance! This Wednesday at LCHS, “Anniversary”, “Badger”, and “The Puppet Master” will be performed one final time. Doors open at 6:30 and show starts at 7:00. Concession items available, and admission is by cash donation to the LCHS Drama Department! Let’s fill the Baron’s Court Theatre one last time and show these talented performers a whole lotta love and support!

As much fun as we had at One Act, the trip was rougher than anticipated on our props and sets. Tonight’s showcase will be postponed, and we’ll be taking this evening to regroup and repair what we can.

Our Showcase for Wednesday night will continue as planned and we will be posting an updated second performance date very soon! Stay tuned!

Last but not least, we’ve got to give a shout out to all of those working behind the scenes for our One Act productions - specifically, Ethan Marchant, Halle Wilchynski, Sydney Baker, Sophie Graham, and London Guy, along with all of our cast members who stepped in to help as crew members in addition to being performers! We couldn’t have done it without this team!

Our Final One Act Play selection is “Anniversary”, by Rachel Bonds, which was directed by Grade 11 Student, Zion Verigan, and was the winner of Best Crew and Best Lighting Design (Ethan Marchant). This show stars Amara Oster, Aaron Sutherland, Izzy Willis, Breton MacMillan, Janat Aqeil, Rainiel DelaCruz, Devin Chahley, Kylie Montaneau, Abby Bailey, Lauren VanMale, and Michael Welch.

“Anniversary” is a story of loss, grief, and learning to live and love fully alongside these feelings. It’s meaningful exploration of navigating the death of a loved one as the world around you moves on and forward, is touching, and hopeful, and will certainly move the hearts of audiences.

Come on out to the Baron’s Court Theatre this Monday and Wednesday to support the cast of “Anniversary” - entry is by donation to the LCHS Drama Department, and helps support our attendance at events like One Act Festival, as well as bringing our musicals and other performances to our community. We can’t wait to see you all this week, cheering on our student performers, directors, technicians and crew!

Our Second One Act, “The Puppet Master” was written by own Mr. Jeffery, and was directed by Grade 12 student, Daivanee Wallace. It stars Devin Chahley, winner of Best Actor, Breton MacMillan, winner of Best Supporting Actor, Gabby Lampow, Kalli Forbes, Seige Fiissel, Kylie Montaneau, Izzy Willis, Aaron Sutherland, John Artiga, Janat Aqeil, Emmy Giroux, and Michael Welch.

Daivanee chose “The Puppet Master” because, despite nearly 20 years since it was published, the negative impact of rumours and gossip still remains a part of the high school experience. Her hope in bringing this to the stage is to challenge the audiences’ perceptions of the power of a “harmless” rumour. Come on out to the Baron’s Court Theatre on Monday and Wednesday to take in this piece celebrating both the talents of our students and our teachers. Doors open at 5:30 - show begins at 6:00 PM!

Our first One Act production is “Badger” by Don Zolidis, directed by Grade 12 students, Amara Oster & Sophie Inder. Starring Lauren VanMale, Abby Bailey, Gabby Lampow, Ashley Kuzek, Zion Verigan, Seige Fiissel, Michael Welch, Rainiel DelaCruz, Aaron Sutherland, Brody Herman, Izzy Willis, Breton MacMillan, Sydney Baker, Emmy Giroux, Kalli Forbes, Kylie Montaneau, and John Artiga. Winner of the “Scene Stealer” award and “Best Prop Design”.

Badger focuses on the experiences of Women Ordinance Workers during WWII, and the complexities, uncertainties, triumphs and tragedies they faced. Come out this Monday and Wednesday to learn more about the secret lives of W.O.W.s, and be wowed by the powerful performances!

We had a wild, memorable, wonderful couple of days at One-Act Festival in Ardrossan. Congratulations to all of our performers, and a special shout out to our award winners, Ethan Marchant (Best Lighting Design - “Anniversary”, “Badger”, & “Puppet Master”), the team behind the play “Badger”, with a special shoutout to Halle Wilchynski (Best Prop Design), John Artiga (Scene Stealer - Piano in “Badger”), Breton MacMillan (Best Supporting Actor - “The Puppet Master”), Devin Chahley (Best Actress - “The Puppet Master”), and the Cast of “Anniversary” (Best Crew).

Come out to the Baron’s Court Theatre this Monday and Wednesday to support our One-Act performers, their amazing talent, and all of their hard work! Doors open at 5:30 PM- shows begin at 6:00PM!
