Ladysmith Secondary School will host its Annual Scholarship Benefit in Memory of Heather Brawner Friday, April 26.
The evening will feature a silent auction and performances from the school’s band and dance programs alongside the presentation of works created by students of LSS’s visual arts department.
Also on tap is a sneak peak at the school’s spring musical Legally Blonde, due to hit the stage at LSS May 2-4 and 9-11.
The musical, starring veteran LSS thespians Rochelle Younie, Daniel Kelly and Keauna Miller, casts a satirical — and plausibly controversial — glance at conventional gender roles, Aleisha Kalina said. Kalina, Legally Blonde’s director, had yet to decide which scenes they would present, but the teasers they bring to the stage Friday night are guaranteed to “get people excited about the show.”
Following the performances and presentations, guests are invited to mingle with the students for a tour of the school, LSS drama teacher Bill Taylor said.
This will create an opportunity for would-be donors to meet the students their donations will benefit, Taylor added.
Coffee, tea, pastries and tapas — prepared by the LSS Cafe — will be served to guests prior to the show. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 7.
Tickets to Friday’s show are available at the LSS office and at Salamander Books for $25 each.
