PA Soc standing by... GO!

Welcome to 'Spotlight' - NLCS's first performing arts newsletter. I'm Tammy, chair of Performing Arts Society. Theatre and the arts in general mean so much to me. I recently played Paulette in Legally Blonde, after co-writing and directing 'Seven Minutes and a Dolphin', and both of these productions have given me such a love of theatre and performance, but have also made me realise how much of a love there is across the whole of the school! I think it's safe to say anyone who has been in an NLCS production will agree that being part of a cast is one of the most amazing things. You meet so many new, like-minded people, have so much fun, and become like a family. Hence why the post-show blues from Legally Blonde are still hitting hard at the moment, but fear not! PA Soc has you covered.

This year we are launching PA Soc in a whole new way, to help bring you your theatre fix. With weekly meetups open to all students in Year 10-13 and mini lunchtime productions across the year (not just the big Senior School Production), we will be looking at all your favourite genres - musical theatre, comedy, Shakespeare, and much much more. We are already planning our first session (featuring Mischief Theatre's 'Play That Goes Wrong'). More info on this to come, so keep an eye on your emails!

North London Theatre Company

To kick us off, next term we will be having our first 'Scripts and Snacks' session where we will be reading the script of the hilarious 'Play That Goes Wrong' by Mischief Theatre and getting the comedy up on its feet with some slapstick acting. Bring your lunch and join us for an hour of acting, directing, chandeliers falling from the ceiling, and people getting hit in the face by doors (although, not literally because Mr Boase hasn’t done a risk assessment)! Open to everyone Y9-13!

Macbeth

The Year 7s and 8s have been working hard, rehearsing their production of Macbeth, directed by Mrs Wettreich, and we can't wait to see them perform on Wednesday 10th and Thursday 11th May. Tickets will be released soon!
