Terry Fox secondary drama teacher Dan Tilsley and his students will once again represent School District 43 at the high school theatre provincials.

The Port Coquitlam secondary team presented its one-act play, God of Carnage, at last month’s MetFest at Heritage Woods secondary with the adjudicator selecting the Fox show to advance to the district/zone at the National Theatre School Festival — sponsored by the BC Drama Festival — in April 2020.

Radium Girls by Riverside secondary, directed by Nicole Roberge, was named the alternate.

For the 2019 festival, held at Douglas College in New Westminster, Fox’s Rabbit Hole won Outstanding Ensemble Performance while Carrie Drieschner took an Outstanding Performance award; the team also earned Outstanding Stage Crew.
