Missoula Children's Theatre presents Aladdin at CMESS

Sam as Aladdin

Congratulations to the students of CMESS for an excellent day of shows!  After just 5 days the kids put on a thoroughly entertaining production.  From the mysterious "uncle" to the littlest penguin, each cast member gave a great performance.

Thanks to Missoula members Codi and Leore for inspiring our kids to do so well.  Thanks also to the visiting students from Zeballos for taking part and making it possible for us to do the full cast!  It was great having more kids here at CMESS, you were good sports to commute by boat everyday for practices.

Having former CMESS student Ashianna come to be our pianist for the show was a real treat.  We've missed you, Ash!

Thanks also to the generous donation of accomodations needed for our guests this week to Esperanza Ministries and Westview Marina.

Glyn's fabulous lasagna

 

PAC, who made bringing Missoula Children's Theatre to Tahsis possible, hosted a delicious fundraiser dinner prior to the evening show.  Tahsis residents once again showed great support for our school and tickets were sold out.  50 lucky guests enjoyed Mr. Howell's lasagna meals, and assisting him in the kitchen were Janet, Jean, Maureen, Corrine, Allison, Danielle, Patti, Brendan, Ashianna, Casey, and me.

Well done, everyone!  

Don't forget! Something very exciting happening in Tahsis on Saturday!

If you haven't already purchased your tickets for the dinner theatre, you are running out of time!  If you aren't planning on joining us for dinner then we will see you at the matinee performance of Missoula Theatre's Aladdin.

The students have worked very hard on this play, and it is promising to be a great one.  Our Drama program is strong at CMESS.

On that subject, congratulations to the CMESS Pirate Improv team who competed in Courtenay last night and gave it their all.  Unfortunately they will not be moving on to the finals in Victoria, but by all accounts they put on a great show and had a lot of fun!  Their motto is "We are a team, we are family, WE ARE PIRATES!"

Our kids have worked with Missoula Theatre before several times.  Our kids are gifted in drama, and have had several opportunities to work on various productions over the years.
