Great Lakes students to be 'Live in '25'

Its a tradition that spans over 100 years.

Students from Great Lakes Secondary School will take the stage for its popular Revue, on April 3, April 4 and April 5.

Grade 12 student and MC Brooklynn Kelly said this years theme is Going Live in '25.

"It emphasizes the magic of live theatre and how much work and dedication and time goes into putting on a live show and all of the effort ," she said.

Roughly 100 students are involved in this years show.

The other MC Melanie Wellington said students have been practicing since the first day of school.

"Everyone starts writing scripts and get creative with what they can come up with, so we all get together and get our casting and we rehearse at lunches, after school, we do not have a day off," she said.

Wellington explained what the audience can expect.

"We do have traditional that has happened for many, many years and then dances from different grades and age groups," she said. "There's comical skits, so all have weird humour but it comes around."

Additionally, there will be singing and instrument playing.

The tradition was established more than 100 years ago at Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School (SCITS) in 1922.

Kelly said she is the first person in her family to be really involved.

"I know a lot of people who are currently in the review have that family tradition but I'm very grateful to be the first person to be integrated in the review," she said.

Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at Book Keeper in Sarnia or Pets Life in Corunna.

Some students from the Revue will also be a Lambton Mall from on Friday, April 4 from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.

"We're going to give a preview of what might be seen in the show," said Kelly.

Doors will open nightly at the Great lakes Auditorium at 7 p.m. with the shows starting at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets will also be available at the door for $12.
