SHUDDERSOME – GRADE 8 – 9
Spectres , ghosts and ghouls came alive in the Grade 8 – 9 theatrical adaptation of Shuddersome : Tales of Poe , featuring some of Edgar Allan Poe ’ s best-known works . The actors brought all the eerie discomfort of Poe ’ s prose in their flat yet uncanny dialogue , body movements and period costumes .
“ I wanted to be a part of Shuddersome because last year I had to choose between acting in the show or being on the basketball team , both of which are very important parts of my life , so this year I made sure that I gave myself the opportunity to do both .” – Sarah , Grade 9 , Actor
“ Through Shuddersome , I learned so much about timing . Two months is not a lot of time to put on a production , especially as we had a really ambitious vision for the show . Over those months , I got to sharpen my time management skills and learned the importance of delegation between everyone involved .” – Sarah , Grade 9 , Director
