College Musical
Yesterday we held an information session for this year’s major production, Monty Python’s Spamalot. Auditions will take place in the coming week for this hilarious and somewhat, irreverent show. Any students who are interested in auditioning but missed the session need to see Mr Cooper as soon as possible. Rehearsals commence in the next two weeks on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The production opens on Friday 26 July and tickets will go on sale at the end of Term 2.
College Middle School Play
Plans are also underway for this year’s Middle School production, Roald Dahl’s The Witches. This production will be Directed by Ms Jacqui Flood with all of the production details being handled by the Year 10 Theatrecraft class. Auditions will be held late next week for students from Years 7-9 who are interested.

Performing Arts Captains’ Concert
Our major performance opportunity is The Performing Arts Captains’ Concert which will be held on Tuesday 2 April. This is one of only two concerts where students get to present their own creativity in all areas of the Performing Arts.
This year’s Captains, Jack L and Cameron M have begun the planning and will soon be seeking items from students. If necessary, auditions will be conducted by the end of February, so get planning and rehearsing your ideas. Please keep an eye on student daily bulletins for sign up.
