FAME: THE MUSICAL 

I am very happy to announce that ‘FAME JR’ rehearsals have begun! We are all so excited to be able to start this year off with a bang, and cannot wait until this musical comes together…soon enough we will be taking the stage once again! FAME JR is set during the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street. Set from 1980 to 1984, FAME JR is an inspiring story of a diverse and talented group of students as they commit to four years of artistic and academic work.  

Rehearsals so far have been filled with heaps of dancing and singing led by Ms Hamilton and Mrs Morris. We are also lucky enough to have Chloe Lawton, last year’s School Arts Captain, coming in to help with the choreography of the show, and past student Bridget De Napoli coming in to help with some character development. It will be great to see these girls again, and we are looking forward to what’s to come! We will be performing 6 shows from Wednesday 1 - Saturday 3 June 2022.   Tickets on sale soon!
