School Production
"The difference that a drama group or a school production can make to a small community. It opens people up to ideas, potential about themselves that really, in a way, education often fails to. It's a way of drawing a community together." Gabriel Byrne (Actor)
It is close to that exciting time again. I have written the script and have met with the senior students who are keen to audition. Our whole school production is on its way!
Our whole school production will be in the evenings of Wednesday 14th, Thursday 15th and Friday 16th of August in term 3. Please put this into your calendar. This amazing event takes place every two years. This is a school curriculum event and all students are expected to attend. The year 3-8's perform each night. The year 1-2 students are split into 3 groups and perform only one night each as they are younger. The tickets for production will be on sale early term 3. The year 1-2 tickets will be sold 5 days prior to the others to ensure parents can get tickets for the day their child is performing.
The senior students (year 7-8) who are keen to audition for the main cast roles have already met with me the past 2 weeks and are preparing for their auditions next week. There is an amazing turnout of students for this. The main cast roles go to the senior students as the production takes place every two years, this makes it fairer for the children.
I will begin choreographing class dances from Week 6 of this term onwards. In the last week of term, I will be sending home a letter for each class specifying what items they will need for their costume. Please, could their items be at school in a named bag in the first week back of term 3.
If there are any parents who are keen to help out with the following; hair, makeup, backstage, costume making, set constructing, set painting etc. Please let me know. I would love your help.
Our students always shine in the production and it is an amazing opportunity for all.
Kind regards,
Deb Whelan.
