Loyola‘s thespians take their award winning act off the road This year was supposed to be a break from the Halton Sears Drama Festival for St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Secondary School. But two weeks before the festival, another school dropped out and students at Loyola couldn‘t resist the challenge to get involved. It was a good deciâ€" sion. They won and are now on their way to the Regionals which run April 13th to 16th, at Burlington Central Higsh School. By SHELLY SANDERS GREER Special to the Beaver "We started getting involved in this festival five years ago," says Rainer Noack, a drama teacher at Loyola who helped the students with their entry. "Last year, we won the Halton District Festival and then won the stage manager‘s award and two awards of merit at the Regionals, but we decided not to get involved this year, so we could build internally. We never expected to win." The production that won is called "Ancient Flames", and it uses biblical and medieval references that pertain to the 12 stations of the cross to address modern issues of belief. Twentyâ€"four students form the cast and crew for this oneâ€"act play which uses all the dramatic modes of characterization, dance, and music. It is written and directed by students. "Our goal is to give kids experiâ€" ence and opportunities for riskâ€"takâ€" ing and networking outside the classroom," explains Noack. "It‘s not about winnine." "We will be taking a risk again by expanding the play by 10 minâ€" utes to include more than we showed at Halton," says Noack. "You never know how the adjudicaâ€" tor will look at it. And the kids will learn about pressure and keeping the production alive and fresh. We would be pleased if it goes as well as it did in the district." There are no rules about content, There will be 12 productions at the Regionals, and of them, three will be chosen to move on to the next step â€" the All Ontario Showcase in Toronto at the end of May. And the kids will ure and keeping ve and fresh. We if it soes as well but there is a 50â€"minute time limit for each production at the Recgionals.
