Our double-cast production has allowed even more young performers to shine, building confidence and resilience along the way. Our older students have been wonderful role models, supporting younger cast members with generosity and maturity

Behind the scenes, this is our largest backstage and technical team yet Students have taken real ownership running sound, lights, set changes, props, costumes, and stage management with professionalism. Their teamwork is the engine behind the magic you see on stage.
