The Magic of ABBA Comes to Rathmore

From Tuesday the 14th to Wednesday the 15th of March 2023, Scoil Phobail Sliabh Luachra was proud to present their first ever School Musical entitled, ‘Thank you for the Music’ directed by the school’s music teacher, Rebecca Stryker. The entire production team, students and staff worked extremely hard to ensure that audiences were highly entertained, and they did not disappoint. The show contained a captivating storyline, lighthearted comedy and of course timeless music. What more could one ask for!

Preparations began last September when auditions took place. The lead cast and chorus members have been busy rehearsing ever since to ensure their first show was one to remember. This was a whole school event with cast and chorus members ranging from first to sixth-year groups. Students involved have described the event as the highlight of their school year, an amazing experience and overall just great fun!

We cannot wait to see what they have in store for next year’s event.
