Frozen Production

Womenjeka, Altona College Community, 

 

In Week 1, Altona College performed our first licensed musical production, Frozen Jnr. The cast and crew were made up of students from Years 1 to 12. Performance week exceeded all of our expectations. Over the year, we have watched our students blossom into confident performers. They have not only developed their skills as actors, singers and dancers, but have also grown into leaders, collaborators and creative thinkers. Who knew we had such talented performers hiding in our classrooms!  

 

A special thank you to our Performing Arts Captain, Eden Carruthers, and her passion for performing arts. This production would not have been the same without her unwavering drive, enthusiasm and belief in what our students could achieve. 

 

The 2028 College Production will be announced in Term 4 2027 with auditions being held in November/December 2027.

 

We hope to see you all there!

Production Awards

 

Most Dedicated Actor – Ella K (Weselton)

Ella brought so much life and comedic timing to the character of Weselton. She took on all directorial suggestions and was a clear standout that would light up the stage.

 

Most Dedicated Singer – Milla Armstrong (Young Anna) & Zoe Buck (Elsa)

Milla’s voice has grown so much this year; her projection and tone make Young Anna the bubbly, cheeky, and fun vibe that is necessary for the role.

 

Zoe has that natural x-factor that is crucial for performing. Her ability to reach those tough high notes is exquisite. Believe in yourself! Like we all believe in you. We are very proud and impressed.

 

Most Dedicated Dancer – Ruby Bartsch

DANCE CAPTAIN! Ruby always knew where she needed to be, what arm and move was next, and never had a foot out of place. She took on the role of leading the dancers, and it was fantastic.

 

The Triple Threat Award – Jacob Dyball-Fraser (Olaf)Jacob can do no wrong; his cute and hilarious comedic timing has made us fall in love with Olaf. Being able to carry In Summer, fully absorbing choreography and singing simultaneously is a skill.

 

Best Method Actor - Oliver Gilbert (Oaken)

Oliver knew Frozen inside out, back to front from the beginning. His ability to fully be Oakin at all times was impressive. Each little piece of something that he added to the role was amazing, and he never missed a beat or broke character.

 

The Team Player Award – Elika Davoodi

Coming in late to the show but having extreme dedication to learn all the songs and dances was amazing. She was consistently positive and encouraging to all. She was the extra last-minute bit of fresh air that we all needed.

 

The Growth Award – Ameila Frazer (Hans)

From never performing before, to finding your character’s brilliant voice. Amelia has grown exponentially.  We have loved watching you transform into Hans, growing as a leader and role model or younger performers and giving something new a red-hot go. You shine on stage.

 

Best Backstage Crew – Liam Mitchell

What would we do without Liam? Liam did so much behind the scenes, from designing how all the props and sets will function and run smoothly to arranging the audience seating. His natural organisation skills were shining bright from the beginning. A fantastic leader that everyone looks up to. A crucial role that was executed perfectly.

 

Helpful Helpers – Kirsty Campbell and Trang Nguyen

How could we have done this whole thing without these two? We will forever be indebted to your generosity and dedication to bringing our vision to life. You took our crazy ideas and made them a reality so THANK YOU.

 

Altona Production Team Award - Eden Carruthers

You are truly an inspiration. Your drive is infectious, and we hope you never lose that. You will be faced with many no’s, but they will not mean that you aren’t talented or that you should stop trying. Because those no’s are just a reason for the better yes that is coming. We promise.
