Each spring, audiences anxiously await the
trans M announcement of Holy Redeemer's next main
stage theatre production. And this fall we will
see the return of a timeless classic, A
Christmas Carol.
“We actually performed A Christmas Carol
back in 2007,” says Drama Teacher Peter
Taylor. “It was out fifth main stage show and
was by far our largest show at that time, not to
mention one of our most memorable to date.
This year, we thought we would bring it back
with a brand new cast and an audience that will
be new to the whole show.”
It is a tradition at HRH that the main stage
production is announced on the Saturday night
of the Dessert Theatre. Unfortunately due to
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Dessert Theatre
was cancelled. “There was obviously some
very disappointed students,” says Taylor
referring to the over 40 students who were
involved in the three one-act plays. “However,
sometimes we have to understand that there are
things much bigger going on. The most
important thing is that everyone is safe so we
can keep performing drama in the future.” On May 1st, hundreds of people tuned into the Holy Redeemer social media pages to hear the big
