Rehearsals were finally able to begin today afterschool. :)
However, next week we will be back to our usual Tuesday afterschool rehearsal time, now that the Athletics carnival is out of the way…
It is not too late to sign up- make the most of this opportunity to be involved!
Here are some reminders about this year’s theme and information:
The Roll of the Dice
Chisholm: Cluedo
Lyons: Monopoly
Maris: Game of Life
Melba: Snakes and Ladders
From just this one word, four original twenty minute shows will be created! Be in it!
What is a House Production?
At Melbourne Girls’ College, we have a strong foundation built on leadership and belonging and the House Production encompasses these values perfectly. House Production is a biannual event at MGC which is an example of our motto, where girls’ “lead and achieve”. It is an entirely student led collaboration, from the selection of the theme by our Arts Captains, to writing, rehearsing and performing.
Starting with a blank canvas can be a daunting task, but it is also a wonderful creative opportunity to have total control over your plot, characters and song choices to create a completely original performance from scratch.
When is House Production?
House Production is in Term 3, Week 4. There will be 2 evening performance on Thursday, August 5th and Friday August 6th at the Renaissance Theatre, Kew High (due to the current building works for our new Performing arts building) Put these dates in your calendar now!
When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals will be on Tuesdays afterschool from 3.30-4.30pm,
Some lunchtimes and Thursdays afterschool will also be required as we get closer to the performance.
