The High School Drama Club had its first group rehearsal for this brand new adaptation of "Murder on the Orient Express" on Saturday. In adherence with COVID safety precautions, a new "dressing room" was created in the Fine Arts Centre foyer so that students could apply makeup and hair design with greater physical distancing and increased ventilation.

In addition, makeup artists were masked and wearing gloves while working with the actors. When not trialing makeup and hair, the actors ran improvisation exercises on stage (masked, and with all windows and doors to the Auditorium open to increase air flow). The show will run five times from 4 - 7 November with alternating casts. Audience seating will be limited to 40 per show. Tickets will be available from mid October.
