The Eel Ground First Nation Drama Club is currently working on a one-act play, 'After The Thunder: The Simon Bishop Story'. Nineteen students in grades 5 thru 8 are rehearsing three times a week after school. Several staff members are also involved.
The production will be staged in Restigouche, PQ on April 21st, at Miramichi Valley High School on April 26th, at the NB Drama Festival on May 1st and as part of the Thrive Conference on May 9th at James M. Hill High School. Other destinations include Tobique and Big Cove.
The play is about Simon Bishop who, after taking his own life, must free his spirit to move on. His life is revealed to him but he keeps his one deep secret to the end. Does he deserve a second chance?
