Blair Louis, Year 9
Congratulations to Year 9 student, Blair Louis who recently co-directed The Adventures of Little Red Robin Hood for Art In Motion Theatre Company. This was performed as part of YouthFULL at Don Russell Performing Arts Centre, before taking the production to YOUTHFest at Marloo Theatre. After spending time in the Director’s chair, Blair took over the role of Grandma – which he did in a very humorous manner with some quick improvisation skills.
Alexis Atkins and Helen Stark, Year 7
Congratulations to Year 7 students, Alexis Atkins and Helen Stark who recently performed in Moana Jr. with Roleystone Theatre in the ensemble of the Senior Youth Production. Both students played villagers, and Alexis also participated in the showstopping number “Shiny” in a cleverly choreographed dance that made the ensemble appear as if they were the limbs of Tamotoa – the crab. Alexis also took on a role as part of the Ocean ensemble – learning multiple dances and songs in just one rehearsal.

Lila McLeod, Year 7 and Sienna Macri, Year 8
Congratulations to Year 7 student, Lila McLeod and Year 8 student, Sienna Macri who performed in The Wizard of Oz with Laughing Horse Productions at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre. Sienna was one of the youngest lead players, performing in the dual role of the Wicked Witch of the West and her Kansas counterpart Mrs Gulch which included a quick costume and make-up change and being painted completely green. Sienna is to be commended for her strong performance with an engaging and intimidating use of voice and a fantastically wicked laugh. Lila performed in the ensemble, singing as part of a trio and dancing en pointe as a member of the Lullaby League in Munchkinland, and playing an Ozian in the Emerald City.
