Musical Showcase

In the last week of Term 2, Year 7 and 8 Drama students had the opportunity to perform in the Semester 1 2019 Musical Showcase. This involved the students spending countless hours throughout the term working together to learn their lines and revise their choreography to produce a mini version of a musical. The musicals chosen in Semester 1 were: ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘Mary Poppins: Returns’, ‘Grease’, ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘Footloose’. They then performed in front of an audience of Killester students and staff.  Students in 9 St. Rita were also involved on the day: hosting, controlling the stage lights, assisting backstage and running front of house.   A massive thank you to Donna Brunt, Elissa Galante and Deanna Galante for working with the students on these performances. The Musical Showcase is always a highlight for students and without your ongoing support, it simply isn’t possible.
