Story Synopsis
In The Show Must Go On, student actors perform as teachers in the school.
After spending months perfecting the three act musical Cats, the Simons Valley Drama club is forced to come up with a new plan. Cats is unexpectedly cancelled, but the Junior Tony Award judge is scheduled to come in just a few days to watch the school’s performance. Since Mr. Snow was a young boy, he has always dreamed of winning the Junior Tony Award - The top prize a school can win for it’s theatrical performance. He informs the Drama Club that they must come up with a new plan.
The teachers realize they won’t have time to put together another full three act musical, and everyone has a different idea of what to do. Mrs. Blyth and Mrs. Boulanger want the students to perform a dance routine. Mrs. Reeve and Mrs. Fuller think the students should sing choir style. Mrs. Sinden and Mrs. Moncrieff think that playing musical instruments is the way to go. Mrs. Neumiller wants the students to perform her original creation entitled “The Neumiller Special”
Can the Simons Valley School Drama Club get on the same page and win the Junior Tony Award? Find out December 11th and 12th as Simons Valley School presents The Show Must Go On.

We are collecting gift cards for SVS families. Please see the message below:
The Christmas season is upon us! It is a time many families look forward to the gathering of family and friends, the sharing of gifts and a warm meal. Unfortunately, not all families are able to participate in many of these activities which most of us take for granted.
In previous years, the SVS staff and community have had the pleasure of being able to help some of our SVS families during this time. We will again be supporting a few of our families by providing them with gift cards. The most asked for are to SuperStore and Walmart but any card will be accepted.
You can show your support by purchasing a gift card and dropping it off at the office by Friday December 13th. We will then distribute the cards to the families the last week of school. Thank you for your generosity and care.
