Year 12 Theatre Performance
- 21 Apr 2015
The class took on the challenge of this play because they wanted to do something different, something that made the audience go home thinking. The class was presented with the challenge on putting on this full production in only seven weeks; time constraints theatre companies rarely have to deal with. They handled it extraordinarily well and put the full, successful production on in that short amount of time. Every aspect of the show was done by students in the class; the acting, sets, props, lighting, sound, costumes, publicity, stage managing and directing. The class ran as their own theatre company for a term which granted them crucial experience for the many who want to go down this field professionally.
Of course it wouldn't be impossible to put such a tremendous show on without the help and guidance from a few special people. We would like to thank our parents for their continuous support, Mr Nicholas Xanthoudakis for his help with teaching sound & lighting, Ms Helen Kuriata for her assistance with art supplies, Ms Carly Doctor for her assistance in costumes and last but not least, our incredible teacher, Ms Lisa Glanville. Without the assistance of these people, the show would not have been the success that it was.
I personally learned a lot in such a short period of time and look forward to seeing what next year’s theatre class brings us.
