2025 Lord Aylmer Drama Production

  • Lights, costumes, action! Our students are hard at work preparing for this year’s play, and we need your help to bring it to life. We’re looking for donations of props and costumes—because what’s a time-traveling adventure without the right gear?
  • Currently, we’re searching for:
    đŸŽ”1980s boombox – because no one time-travels in silence.
    đŸŽ€Mic stand – so our performers can shine without juggling a microphone.
    ⚔Plastic medieval/knight swords (x4) – don’t worry, no actual jousting involved.
    🐮Stick horses (x4) – because real horses don’t fit on stage.
    đŸ’‡â€â™‚ïž1980s wigs (x6) – think big hair, bigger dreams—bonus points for a mullet!
    👹‍🚀Futuristic costumes (x6, silver or white, sized for 10–12-year-olds) – because we assume the future is shiny.
    đŸȘ‘ Small benches (like a piano bench) (x2) – ideal for a scenic stroll through a roaring city park—or a dramatic time-travel mishap!
  • đŸ“©Â Before sending in any donations, please email Jenn Peddie at jpeddie@wqsb.qc.ca to coordinate!

We wish you all a relaxing and safe weekend,

Sam Halpin & Hannah Patrick
