A Thanksgiving message from President Roberts

Dear Colleague,

In the spirit of gratitude, I want to wish each of you a happy Thanksgiving. In the midst of a tense political climate, final exams, and holiday plans, the upcoming holiday provides us with an opportunity to pause and reflect.

As I gather with my family and friends this Thanksgiving holiday, I’m thankful for each and every Shoreline student. You show up each day, ready to work hard and pursue your dreams. I am thankful for each and every faculty and staff member. Your dedication to supporting our students is unmatched.

Each one of us plays an important role in building the sense of community here at Shoreline. And as a community, we depend on each other to both fulfill our individual goals and to build a common future. Let’s continue to provide support and encouragement to one another as we finish this quarter and begin to prepare for a new year ahead.

Warmly,

Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Dec. 2-11
Fridays and Saturdays – 7:30pm
Sundays – 3pm

Tickets:
General Admission – $15
