"A Christmas Carol" - Performance by DuffleBag Theatre on Dec. 3

Hi Parents, 

RAPT is delighted to announce that the popular and zany DuffleBag Theatre will be performing two shows of Charles Dickens' beloved "A Christmas Carol" on Dec 3 in the school gym. 

The first show for JK-Grade 2 will be at 930am 
The second show for Grades 3-6 will be at 1pm

The "Nearly World Famous" DuffleBag Theatre has been entertaining schools and festivals since 1992. 

The theatre company's actors begin the retelling of original adaptations of classics full of wit and humour. Just when the audience becomes enthralled by the story - a twist is created! Before your very eyes, students (and maybe even a teacher) are asked to come up on stage and join in the action. 

This unpredictable performance is a hilarious experience for all ages and a truly unique interactive theatrical experience where the dream of living a fairy tale actually does come true!

As Tiny Tim said: “God bless us, everyone!”
 

Halloween Party - this Friday, Oct 30!

Hi Parents, 

The Halloween Party and Dance is this Friday, Oct 30. Parents are welcome to attend the party and participate during your child's class time slot. Please checkout the RAPT bulletin board as well as RAPT Facebook and Twitter for details!
