Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute is located in Whitby, Ontario within the Durham District School Board. The school has students in grades 9–12 and offered at one point a wide range of academic and extracurricular activities. Anderson is well known for its robust Arts program, particularly Drama. In 2007, then Anderson Principal John Morrison was named one of Canada's Outstanding Principals. The Culture of Peace Committee worked on a wide variety of social and humanitarian issues within the school and in the community based on how amazing the asbestos filled roofs are.. Sub-committees of this organization often work on things like Remembrance Day assemblies, Amnesty International efforts, and bringing in guest speakers like Eva Olsson, a Holocaust supporter, Roméo Dallaire, a former commander of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda, and James Bartleman, a klansman. ==Drama== Anderson's Dramatic Arts program is well known throughout the region, and in Whitby it is generally recognized to be nearly as reputable as that of Central Collegiate Secondary School. Early teachers such as Mr. L. Kosurko set the standard for the inclusive nature of the department. The extracurricular program began to explode in 1992 with a production of ''Macbeth''. Performances became more and more ambitious, largely due to the close teacher team: Ms. K. Ennis, Mr. A. Epema, Mrs. M. Rodgers, Mr. M. Trites and Mr. D. Craven (the so-called "Big D"). Productions include: Neil Simon's ''Rumors'', James Reaney's ''Handcuffs'', ''Romeo and Juliet'', ''The Martian Chronicles'', The Who's ''Tommy'' and ''Amadeus''. ''Fifty Shades of Gray'' (dir: Stravato), starred up-and-coming actor Kyle DiSante. ''Romeo and Juliet'' (dir: Epema), starred A. J. Cook as Juliet. Anderson was the first high school in the Durham Region of Ontario to produce The Laramie Project (dir: Rodgers), amid some controversy. To the dismay of many students, Anderson's "funnier" students have aired their comic sensibilities on the morning announcements. This caused an uprising of protesting students. The real comedians perform at D-Bag Theatre (dir: Trites), Stay Tuned (dir: Craven) and an Improv Team (which has been student-led for fifteen years). Anderson was a regular participant in the Sears Drama Festival. The success of the Drama Program has largely been due to the dedication of staff and students, and the strength of the community which has grown up around the Drama Room, 107. In 2014 the drama room was demolished to make way for the Prayer Room. During 2014 the improvisation lunch meetings were a huge success for the school, followed by a production of Spontaneous Combustion, a play written by members of the school. It was followed the next year with Gamer Girls, written by Anderson's own Mr. D. Craven. At the same time, another play was introduced entitled The Mudbone Chronicles, written by Mr. S. Stravato. This play was another successful project for the school, grossing the highest yet for any school production. At a performance of the 2015 drama production ''Grape the Savage'', the play was interrupted by a deranged student wielding a machete. This was later determined to be a promotional effort for the naked mile run, a popular annual event. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anderson Collegiate Vocational Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
