Pat Mastroianni, who played Joey Jeremiah, and Stacie Mistysyn, who played Caitlin Ryan, two stars of the original Degrassi High, will be in Peterborough on Saturday, October 3rd for a special screening of Degrassi: School’s Out.
The 1992 film served as the finale to Degrassi High, continuing the stories of the teenagers viewers had followed through the popular Canadian television series. More than three decades later, fans will have the chance to watch the movie on the big screen and then hear from two of its original stars.
There is also a Peterborough connection to the Degrassi story that goes beyond this event. Series co-creator Linda Schuyler is an honorary alumna of Trent University, where her work has been incorporated into the curriculum. She has also spent time in the Peterborough area through guest lectures and her work as a Media Educator in Residence at Trent’s School of Education. Her husband, television producer and entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn, was also a producer on Degrassi and is a Trent alumnus who served as the university’s Chancellor.
The screening and Q&A will take place at St. Peter Catholic Secondary School, with doors opening at 6:00pm. The movie begins at 6:30pm, followed by a Q&A with Mastroianni and Mistysyn.
