Theatre Ash: Tickets on sale now!

The countdown is on for this year's Theatre Ash production, and our talented cast and crew are ready to bring one of the world's most famous mysteries to the stage. Rehearsals have been progressing brilliantly, with students working tirelessly to perfect every scene, clue, and dramatic twist.

Agatha Christie's classic whodunnit, And Then There Were None, follows ten strangers invited to a luxurious island mansion in the Whitsundays. What begins as a relaxing getaway quickly turns sinister as the guests realise they have been lured there for a deadly purpose. As suspicion grows and the number of survivors dwindles, the race is on to uncover the identity of the murderer before it's too late.

Filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists, this gripping production will keep audiences guessing until the final moments. It promises to be an outstanding showcase of the talent, dedication, and hard work of our Theatre Ash students.

JMC Battle of the Bands Finalists

Congratulations to the Cooper Matthews Band, who recently represented Marist College Ashgrove at the JMC Academy Battle of the Bands competition.

The band, comprising Cooper Matthews, Harrison Hind, Luke Dwyer, Baxter Jordan, and Max McRae, achieved the outstanding feat of being shortlisted for the live finals. From an initial field of 53 bands, the group progressed through to the top six finalists, an incredible achievement and a testament to their talent, dedication, and hard work.

As part of the finals experience, the students had the opportunity to work with industry professionals, gain valuable insights into the music industry, and share their original music with fellow young musicians from across the region. 

We congratulate the boys on this remarkable accomplishment and thank them for representing the College with such professionalism and passion. We look forward to seeing what they achieve next in their musical journeys.
