Tuesday, March 10, 2026 - ONE NIGHT ONLY!
This year Rockway’s high school students have the opportunity to prepare and perform a one-act play at National Theatre School (NTS) DramaFest (see below) as well as at Rockway.
This is a departure from our traditional play experiences, but one that will provide our students with the opportunity to experience the rewards and challenges of participating in a travelling show, as well as make connections with drama students from across Waterloo Region and Wellington County.
About our show…
On a sunny day in the county of Westchester, a devastating occurrence happens. No, it’s not famine, or floods, or loss of your basic human rights. The internet has gone down! And it will continue to be down… for a week! A whole week! Can you imagine the chaos that will ensue?! In a world that is so dependent on the internet for shopping, mailing, and posting pictures of cute puppies, how will society function? Not well as it turns out. The Day the Internet Died hilariously explores how inept we are at everyday activities and basic human interactions when we don’t have a screen to look at.
