School Production 2019

Rehearsal Schedule – Seussical

Parent Information

Seussical JR rehearsals are in full swing, hitting the ground running this year, with our Production dates Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th May, we are wasting no time in getting our song, dance and acting on! The lead cast of the musical have absolutely delighted our Production Team this week, with students off script already, taking direction brilliantly, making strong character offers in the rehearsal room and giving 110% to any choreography given to them. It’s a delight to be part of the buzz that exists in the rehearsal room at St Finbar’s!

 

Special mentions this week must go to Zach Lewis for his incredible efforts over the holidays, his portrayal of Cat in the Hat is sure to delight audiences, Jasmin Vizzini has made strong and brave physical offers for her part as Thing 1, and Mali Davies facial expression and dance moves has been a joy to see so early in the rehearsal process. Thank you to our leads and parents of all our leads who have spent time over the holidays learning lines, song lyrics and melodies, the hard work will certainly pay off and we are already seeing it in the rehearsal room.

 

Information has gone out this week regarding costuming requirements for each year level, and our leads will receive costuming information in Week 2. Thanks to parents for your support in this endeavour.
