The Saint James School Drama Club has been working very hard to prepare for their upcoming production of “How Do You Spell the Jones’?” We would like to invite all SJS students and their parents/grandparents, etc. to join us at 6:30pm this Friday, May 12th to see this wonderful show. There is no admission cost for the performance, however concessions will be sold.
Here are the details:
A mystery and mayhem story, fairy-tale style, with a modern twist! Chaos and unexpected turns baffle the two, very opposite, royal families, while at the center of it all lies a rabble-rousing group of kingdom dwellers, all being led by a trouble-making fortune teller. And, just when you think you have it all figured out, the final scene will surprise you with an answer to the question of just where all of those tomatoes were coming from!
Leading this year’s Drama Club is 8th grade parent volunteer Mrs. Lola Gordon, who also wrote the play and has tailored it for our school!!
There will be two performances on Friday, May 12th, one for students and staff during school hours and a second performance at 6:30pm that everyone is welcome to attend.
