Die-High is the nickname for one of Edmonton’s most venerable and beloved Highschools, and this year the whole DN gang is assembled for a 50 hour reunion the likes of which we’ve never seen before. Join the nerds, the jocks, the artsies and the brains! The Key Club, Jazz Band, Glee Club and Travel Club! Reach For The Top! Highschool Musical!

Your Die-Nasty faves, including Mark Meer, Jeff Haslam, Davina Stewart, Stephanie Wolfe, Peter Brown, Matt Alden, Donovan Workun and Tom Edwards are joined by UK pals Paul Foxcroft and Maya Sendall, as well as a whole assembly’s worth of Edmonton’s best and bravest Drama Club stars and U of A Students’ Union President Kory Mathewson!
