SASC MAC Production

MAC production update

As aptly observed by Manh, one of our key publicity assistants: “Lights, camera, action! The MAC production is gaining traction!”

Rehearsals for The Wizard of Oz have begun in earnest, now scheduled for most Tuesdays and Wednesdays this term; our talented actors are busy learning their lines and rehearsing.

Director Ms Mackenzie has been especially impressed by the mentoring and support provided by the principal, experienced and older actors for those newer to the world of the theatre.

Also noted by all staff involved have been the unique voice and vision brought to each of the roles as well as the general professionalism of the cast in regards to punctuality, communication, responding to feedback etc.

Rachel Pinto and Alana Nguyen have been cast to share the main role, which will make for an exciting production; both talented “Dorothys” will bring their own special approaches to this demanding and classic part.

We are currently finalising the backstage crew and working on lighting, sound, staging and all the other details necessary for a successful and wonderful show!

 Mr Orchard has done a huge amount of work on the musical score and will soon be back after some well deserved leave.  Mr D’Aglas and Ms Azmitia are already constructing their vision for the set, props and costumes.  A host of other teachers, including Ms Hocking, Ms Tran, Ms Simoes, Mr Uhl, Ms Kristy Lee and Ms De Silva have also contributed much of their time and energy already.

We would like to thank all the teachers who have given so generously of their time and to express how thrilled we are at the overwhelming student and staff enthusiasm for the show thus far.

We’ll keep you posted in upcoming newsletters!

Ms Chloe Marie and Ms Helen Kent
