Brehm Students Prepare for Pirates!

In the past six weeks, Brehm students have auditioned and prepared for the annual school play. Students have been working diligently and making sacrifices in order to practice three times a week. Rec Activities have taken the back seat as performers have shown dedication to the play.

This year, students will perform "Pirates of the Great Lakes" on Saturday, May 16th at 7 p.m.

Sponsor and faculty member, Jen Cowell explains the plot as follows:

"Arrrr matey, the year is 1782 and Johann Andreas' family business on the shores of Lake Huron is in trouble. For some reason nobody wants to stay at "Andreas Wasp Infested Inn." Luckily for Johann, Captain Short Fuse Composure arrives on the scene, having been stranded by a band of pirates who mistook Michigan for an island. In his possession is a treasure map, and he promises Johann a share of the loot if he can assemble a crew and reach the treasure in advance of his arch-rival, the dreaded Burgundy Beard. Between dealing with Captain Short Fuse Composure's fear of North Atlantic Sea Tigers, an idiotic crew, and a complete lack of knowledge about the sea, will it be possible for Johann to find the treasure, get the girl, charm her father, stop tripping over things, and save his family business?"

Freshman Jordan channels his inner thespian.

Austen, a Brehm 8th grader, works his jazz hands in play practice.

Students have worked exceptionally hard this year with this Brehm tradition and we expect a good turnout and fabulous show!
