Festival 2012 cancelled Thank you to all students who have already registered for this year's Rotary Good Will Shakespeare Festival and to those of you who are planning to register. I know you are all well aware of the current difficulties with contract negotiations between the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) and the government. Because of these difficulties, the Provincial Drama Teachers have canceled their provincial festival and some districts have already voted to withdraw extra curricular activities.  Consequently, the Rotary Good Will Shakespeare Festival is cancelled for the 2012 season. The festival has been a great success for over eleven years because of your dedication and enthusiasm for the arts. Its success was also the result of the participation and support of a core group of teachers who volunteered their time and energy to make the festival possible. Year after year, festival participants were able to enjoy and learn from world-class professionals who successfully made the arts their career. If you have already registered and paid for this year, please contact your teacher in order to get a full refund. Thank you so much for your support.
