Grade 10 Drama students were privileged to watch 1939 at Canadian Stage, co-written by Kaitlyn Riordan and Jani Lauzon on October 19. The play is set in a fictional Ontario residential school in 1939 and follows a group of Indigenous students tasked with performing Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, the play offers a powerful narrative about identity, resilience, and reclaiming culture, inviting deep reflection and learning.
