The All-School Cast Announcement
By Alanna McKeown
This year's all-school play is called “Scream if You Are A Survivor.”
The story for this year’s play is as follows. When wealthy Mr. Lloyd offers the students at Peter Paul Prep $5,000 to be split among any organizations whose members can spend a single night in the House on Gallows Hill, the students jump at the chance. The only problem is that the house is haunted, and everyone who's ever tried to stay overnight has disappeared. Undaunted, the students assemble in Reginald Ravenscroft's house, unaware that his ghost, along with the ghosts of his daughter, his servant Patience, and the man his servant loved, Joshua, have all joined the party. Though the psychic connection club members feel the activity, the other kids play it as a lark until one by one they begin to disappear. Patience and Joshua, however, manipulate the kids so that the truth about what happened so long ago can finally give their spirits rest. A wild seance brings down the evil Ravenscroft's spirit, but not before a lot of gags, great lines, and action make this a bewitching comedy.
