Senior School students delight audiences with play

3/25/2022

A group of Senior School students recently performed "Squad Goals: A Short Comedy", a short play written by Don Zolidis.

The publisher describes the play as follows:

"The crackpot coaches of a ragtag basketball team are looking for one more player, but if inspirational sports movies have taught us anything, it's that winners don't need to have superior talent--just the most heart. So these tryouts will test the hopefuls on the really important things: playing through an injury, giving a thrilling halftime speech, and, of course, moving exceptionally well in slow-motion to dramatic music. Scoring on the absurd cliches in every sports movie from Rudy to Air Bud, Squad Goals is a hilarious slam-dunk."

The boys performed in front of several audiences, including Grades 9, 10 and 11, as well as Middle School students. The school also welcomed family and friends who came for two evening performances on March 23.

Directed by Drama teacher Lucy Martin, the production featured two pairs of lead roles in addition to a full cast of characters.
