This week: Corbett Performing Arts Club Presents CLUE!

Corbett Performing Arts Club (CPAC) is proud to present its upcoming production of “CLUE!”. Based on the beloved classic board game and the 1985 hit movie, Clue follows all your favorite characters, from Professor Plum to Mrs. Peacock, as an unusual dinner party descends into deception, blackmail, and comedy. Join us in this race to discover WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT in this murder mystery.

YOU in the MPB with a TICKET!

Co-directed by Beck Knight, Francis Moseley, Arin Spencer-Sherman, and Katherine Zieman! Come and support this talented group of Corbett actors and techs for what promises to be an uproariously fun show full of mystery, comedy, and laughter. Be our guest, as we’re dying to host you.

CLUE performs over two weekends: November 15, 16, 22, and 23 at 7pm; November 16 and 23 at 1pm; and November 17 at 3pm. All performances will be in the Corbett Multi-Purpose Building (MPB) located on the Corbett Main Campus (35800 E. Hist. Col. Riv. Hwy, Corbett, OR).

Senior Corner

Seniors are reminded that some colleges and universities had their early action/early application deadlines on November 1st and others are coming up. Each institution sets their own deadline, so students should make sure to check the timelines for the schools they are hoping to attend. If a student missed early action, it just means that they will apply in the next window.

Ms. Pekny, our school counselor, is here to support you and your family every step of the way. If you have any questions at the moment, please reach out to Ms. Pekny at spekny@corbett.k12.or.us and she’ll be happy to help!

Ms. Pekny is also organizing group college visits this fall. Check out the Senior Google Classroom for more information.
