Choir Christmas Carols at Bupa Aged Care
Our ACPS choir of 25 students brought some early Christmas Spirit to Bupa Aged Care in Templestowe last Thursday 16 November. Thank you students for sharing your joy, energy, smiles and manners. The residents' feedback was "We wish it didn't end". I'm SO proud of you all! Sincere thanks to Dan, Daniel, Sarah, Mel and Arthur for providing transport for the students to attend.

2024 Production - Shrek The Musical JR
After a record 90 applications (!!) we took a long, deep and excited breath and then proceeded to watch the audition tapes. We are now underway with the Stage 2 auditions where we have matched up some students with a specific role we see they have potential with. As you can imagine there is loads of talent and it is a very tough process to whittle it down into set roles. Thank you SO much everyone for your interest and a special thanks to all the students who submitted audition tapes - it is a very special experience to see so many students sharing their skills, being brave and putting their hand up to join in.
Stage 2 audition song and scenes (role specific) are due Sunday night 26 November. https://forms.gle/hFJq6DLnsHrna5DJ9
FINAL CALL BACKS will be in person next Tuesday 28 Nov and Thursday 30 Nov before appointing key roles in December.
DANCE AUDITIONS for those who want a featured dance role will be early December. An email will be sent to all Shrek cast to learn the dance prior to in-person audition.
ENSEMBLE students will have their specific roles clarified in Term 1 2024.
Thank you Gavin Andrew and your selection panel (professionals from the theatre industry) for your endless hours already invested. The Shrek Jr workshop last Friday was also a highlight for our students. Our ACPS Swamp is filling with amazing creatures!
