A little more about the Production..........................

 

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

 

Is it the same show on both nights?

Yes - this is so we can celebrate all the work that has gone into preparing the play and it also gives 2 groups a chance to perform as the main 5 characters.

 

Do children have to perform both nights?

It is the expectation that all students perform on both nights

 

What if I can't get my child there?

Some parents are car pooling in order to share the trips. 

Please let your child's class teacher know if you have any difficulties around this.

 

Do parents have to attend both nights?

Parents do not have to attend both nights but are welcome of course!

If students are being dropped off, they will be signed in on arrival and signed out when picked up.

 

What time does it start and finish?

It starts at 7pm and should conclude around 9pm. 

 

Will it be filmed?

YES! Both nights will be filmed professionally and available for purchase at a later date.

We understand there are some concerns regarding the finishing time (approx. 9pm).

We fully appreciate this is past some students regular bedtime, and as such will be understanding if students require a sleep in on the Wednesday and Friday following the performances. 

All students are expected to perform in the finale as a whole school item. This is often a highlight as it brings all students together at the end. 

Also, as teachers will be in the hall supervising students prior to the finale, it is logistically difficult to sign students out early without disrupting the performance. 

 

There is always some anxiety around performing for a few students, but in my 33 productions, I have only ever had 1 student choose not to go on stage. 

Teachers are encouraging students who may feel a little apprehensive and you, as parents can continue the positive talk at home. 

Phrases such as the following, all help to build a strong resilience and increase the excitement:

"I can't wait to see you up on stage"

"You are so brave"

"I'm so excited to see the Production"

"You are so lucky. I never did anything like this when I was as school"
