School Production

The musical gives you the chance to sing, dance and act your way to centre-stage by auditioning to be part of the cast, or if you are more musically inclined, perform by joining the band. Alternatively, if the spotlight is not for you, the musical also provides opportunity for you to play a vital role in helping to run the performance as part of the technical and set design teams. We will announce the musical in September and you will be invited to an audition if you would like to take part.
