Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School is proud to present A Lighter Shade of Noir, a theatrical play running from June 10 to 13.
Trent Trowel is your typical detective, searching the mean streets for crimes to solve and dames to fall for. He joins some of the world’s most famous detectives at the International PD gala, but is this just an innocent gala? Will the world's most dastardly villains foil them with a fiendish master plan? Everything is not what it seems. The show is a fabulously funny and high-styling take on a film noir- it’s a lighter shade of noir after all!
This is one of the first plays PSO has done since April 2022. This play has been brought to life by Mr. Mattias Aaslie, the director, Nicole Jackson, the producer and Andrew Grey, the set carpenter/designer.
This unique play is being held in the cafeteria at PSO where doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the play begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are being sold for $5 for children and students with a student ID and $10 for anyone 18 and up. Tickets can be bought with cash only at Valhalla Games on 365 Cariboo Highway, Creative Magic Art & Hobby at #5-530 Horse Lake Road, and at the door of the PSO cafeteria on show night.
“I think it’s important to have a drama class. Drama kids tend to not fit in with the various arts groups and they have the energy of sports kids. Theatre is all about teamwork,” Aaslie, the play's director and an English teacher at PSO, said.
When I had the pleasure to watch the students rehearse, there was a lot of learning and seriousness, along with laughs and joy. The children collaborated to produce the play and frequently made each other smile during the performance, including myself!
Please come out and support our incredible drama students who have worked so hard on this production!
