The Boy at the Edge of Everything

Last week, the Junior Production of 'The Boy at the edge of Everything' “soared” into the VPAC and entertained St Andrew's Primary School as well as two sold out performances. Months of work come together to create a fantastic show!

As always it’s a pleasure to work with Our Lady of Sacred Heart to produce the show and in particular, Mrs Julie Freeman-Smith for her liasing and guidance.

The album produced for the show can be found on spotify under The Boy at the Edge of Everything.

Congratulations to the tremendously talented cast and crew.

I’d like to make special mention of the Senior Boys in Mentor Roles – Rad (Assistant Director), Lewis (composer), Blake (Stage Management), Tim & Oliver (Costume), John & Liam (Props) for the months of work they dedicated to the show to lead, produce and set amazing examples for their peers. You have shown the true spirit of the Arts! A big shout out to Anthony who has worked with us over the past three productions and will be missed as he graduates. Thank you Anthony!

Below is a snippet from the Senior Boys (Rad and Lewis) speech at the end of the closing night:

Thank you all for coming, we wanted to thank everyone that has helped put this show together.

Thanks to Mr Joshua Romeo for all the help backstage and set construction. Holly Blake for the mentorship and backstage involvement. Mr Kirkles for the set design and construction. Mr Perry for the filming. Mrs Freeman-Smith for helping the OLSH girls and being a fantastic mentor. Ms O’Neil for giving up her time to assist the cast with their hair and makeup ensuring they look wonderful under the lights. Ms Angie and Ms Rosalie for the makeup assistance too. Ms Briety for the photography and fantastic mural in the foyer, also for constructing the wonderful programs for the show. Billie Angelone and Ms Briety for their brilliant photography.

We’d like to thank the parents for all the driving around and support for the cast and crew.

Thanks to Miss Urquhart for brilliant direction and mentorship, without her amazing attitude and energy there would be no show!

Thanks to all in the audience for attending the show.

St Paul’s TheatreSports Workshop

On Friday 8 November, eight drama students from Years 7 – 10 attended St Paul’s Primary School for their Year 6 leadership day. They conducted an hour of Theatre Sports games to assist the students in being confident in front of school assemblies and working as part of a team. A fantastic morning with some amazing teamwork and lots of giggles happening from all.

Thanks to Freddy, Benjamin, Ronan, Baden, Isaac, Lewis, Rad and John.
