SUMMARY:National Theatre School Dramafest
DESCRIPTION:National Theatre School Presents \nDRAMAFEST \nCome one\, come all to this festival of one-act plays produced by local high-school students! Published plays and student-written productions take centre-stage in this exciting evening of live theatre. \nDay 1 – Monday\, March 24\, 2025 – 6:00 pm\n\nBlenheim District High School \n“Miss Scarlette’s School For Witches” Written by:\n(An original one act play) \nSYNOPSIS: It follows the path of two runaway Princesses who seek a better life than the one that has been written for them. A modern fairy tale where the witches aren’t wicked\, the princesses don’t need saving\, and all paths lead to the one meant for you. \nWallaceburg District Secondary School \n“Red Tee” Written by: Lindsay Price \nSYNOPSIS: Gender\, family patterns\, traditions\, labels… It’s time for role call. Who are you? If you’ve been wearing red for generations\, what happens when it doesn’t feel right? And what happens when everyone says you’re the one who’s wrong? What happens when someone doesn’t fit in the way everyone expects them to? Are you ready to have these conversations? \nJohn McGregor Secondary School\n“How To Get Away With a Murder Mystery” Written by: Don Zolidis \nSYNOPSIS: Five mysterious colour-coded guests.  A mansion. A murder. Can the killer get away with it?  And how will the sleuths bring them to justice?  A handy guide for how to escape the law when you happen to be a prime suspect of a mysterious murder.  Told in vignettes in a style similar to “10 Ways to Survive The Zombie Apocalypse”\, this show hilariously skewers the tropes of the murder mystery:  an airtight alibi\, a Long winded monologue by a detective with an accent\, an impossibly complicated Rube Goldberg murder device?  Check\, check and check! \n  \nDay 2 – Tuesday\, March 25\, 2025 – 6:00 pm\nRidgetown District High School \n“So You Wanna Be a Cheerleader ” Written by M.G.

SUMMARY:WILDFLOWERS A Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
DESCRIPTION:The international touring band The Wildflowers are North America’s #1 Tribute to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. \n“Who doesn’t love Tom Petty?” bassist Darryell Stone asked himself one day in 2012 while listening to the radio. There was only one answer he could imagine\, “Nobody.” Testing his hypothesis\, Stone polled friends\, family and fellow musicians how they felt about Petty. The result was always the same. Everyone loves Tom Petty. \nOne of these fellow musicians just happened to be Tom Petty’s doppelganger\, guitarist and lead vocalist Jonathan Guthrie. Guthrie was an avid fan and had always fantasized about being a Heartbreaker. As two seasoned musicians and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fans\, there was really only one thing for them to do – form a Tom Petty tribute band. \nIt wasn’t hard for Stone and Guthrie to find skilled musicians excited about playing in a Tom Petty tribute band. Drummer Steve Lucas\, formerly of Feverdog and a bandmate of Stone’s local band\, Theatrix\, quickly signed on. Lucas brought with him his M-80’s band mate Glenn Freeman. Freeman\, who boasts of seeing multiple Tom Petty concerts in the 80s\, brought an instrumental cornucopia to the group with keyboards\, harmonica\, guitar and backing vocals. Lead guitarist Curt Granger rounded out the lineup. \nWith 30+ year’s experience in Birmingham’s local music scene\, Granger has played in such circuit bands as Pyrate\, Scream Sophie\, and his own solo project\, as well as creating a line of world-renowned boutique guitar amplifiers. \nThe new Tom Petty tribute band rehearsed with one focus – to recreate the music of Tom Petty with precision\, attention to detail\, and a reverent respect. Parts were studied in great detail\, down to inflections in the very way each word of every lyric was sung. Performing locally in the first year\, it didn’t take long for the band to be noticed. Word spread quickly\, which led to more shows outside the band’s home state\, which led to more word of mouth and exposure. Soon the band was gaining interest from venues across the southeast\, which led to more travel and more Tom Petty fans discovering them. \nJump ahead 100 shows and The Wildflowers have become one of the most popular tribute shows across the southeast US\, and quickly gaining recognition in other regions. \nEquipped with decades of experience and a passion for Tom Petty’s magic way with songs\, The Wildflowers bring music lovers of all stripes what they adore. More Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
