MGC’s 2019 House Production- Girl Power!
We had our information meeting on Tuesday, 19th March and this year’s theme of “Girl Power” was revealed!
Each of our four houses have decided on their approach.
Lyons: Stages of Life
Maris: Stereotypes
Melba: Superheroes
Chisholm: Past, Present, Future.
If you would like to have input into the script, direction and/or song choice, then please join your Arts Captains next Tuesday, 26th March, after school, for a brainstorming session.
Otherwise, rehearsals will begin in Term 2, every Tuesday from 2.30pm- 3.30pm.
All welcome!
Unable to attend Tuesday’s meeting? Sign up forms are outside the music room.
Reminders.
House Production is our biannual production, created by students for all students! Students work collaboratively in their allocated House to devise, rehearse and perform an original performance of 20 minutes. Students can choose to specialise in their area of interest- performing, directing, scriptwriting or backstage doing lighting, sound, sets, props and/or costumes. All welcome!
Performance Dates: Term 3, Week 4- Wednesday 7th-Friday 9th August.
3 evening performances @ MGC in the Auditorium.
Rehearsal Times: The majority of rehearsals will be conducted on Tuesdays after school, (2.30-3.30pm) beginning in Term 2, with some lunchtime rehearsals. Additional rehearsals on Thursdays after school may be required in Term 3.
