SIX: TEEN EDITION - Programme

DIRECTOR’S NOTE This year’s production has been an incredible team effort, brought to life by the energy and commitment of both students and staff. I would like to thank the Production Team for the time, skills and passion they have so generously shared in creating such a wonderful show.

Our large cast has been outstanding, approaching every rehearsal with enthusiasm, patience and resilience. It has been a pleasure to see students from different year groups come together, support one another, and discover a shared sense of joy and purpose.

We have been very lucky to work with an immensely talented group of Queens.

They have demonstrated unwavering commitment to the production process, navigating an intensive schedule of dance, drama, and music rehearsals with versatility and dedication. It has been a pleasure to watch their interpretations of these iconic Queens flourish and evolve over time, and I have valued the opportunity to incorporate their individual creative contributions into the direction of the production.

MRS HOUSE-LEE

Acting Head of Department, Drama

At a time when enrolment in creative and performing arts subjects is in decline, we are fortunate that the arts continue to be actively championed at Rosebery.

These disciplines foster invaluable skills, and I hope our production serves as a powerful reminder of their enduring importance and the transformative impact of performance.

Finally, I would also like to extend my thanks to the writers of SIX: TEEN EDITION, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, whose bold and inventive reimagining of history has provided us with such rich material. Their work has inspired not only a fun and entertaining production, but also a powerful celebration of women’s voices; encouraging women of all ages to stand tall, claim their stories, and celebrate their strength and empowerment.

I hope you enjoy our production. Thank you for your support.

MUSICAL DIRECTOR’S NOTE Welcome to SIX: TEEN EDITION! This show is a celebration of voice, rhythm, and empowerment, and it has been a joy to bring this music to life with such a talented cast. SIX asks its performers to be fearless; vocally strong, stylistically versatile, and completely committed to telling these stories through music.

Working on the show has been both challenging and rewarding in equal measure, as it highlights not only the incredible skill of our students, but also their individuality and confidence.

Empowerment, female solidarity and finding strength in shared experiences all expressed through music, dance and drama are important values, and ones that we are delighted and proud to showcase.

I am so proud of what this cast has achieved musically.

MR HOLLOWAY

Head of Department, Music

A special thanks to Ms McKay for her energy, enthusiasm and vocal ability, to Mr Faunce-Brown for his support on the most technically challenging show I have worked on, and of course, to the incredible band who have learnt a difficult score to help support the cast.

And finally, to the Queens: thank you for your dedication, your commitment and for giving me so many amazing musical memories. I hope you enjoy the energy, humour and heart they bring to the stage tonight.

BEHIND THE SCENES

THE QUEENS: CAST 1

ISLA H

AMBER C

JOCELYN B

I’m excited to play the role of Catherine of Aragon because her song - ‘No Way’ - shows that she won’t let a man boss her around!

I am thrilled to play Anne Boleyn and portray her rebellious, bold character on stage in one of my favourite musicals.

Outside of school, I have attended Stagecoach for nearly 8 years. I played the role of Matilda in my Year 6 production, as well as performing in many choir and dance festivals.

I’ve performed in troupes at Disneyland Paris, Shaftesbury Theatre and, more recently, performed a solo of ‘No Way’ at the Indigo Theatre at the O2.

At Rosebery, I have previously played Tiger Lily in Peter Pan and a Core Nun in Sister Act, as well as being a member of the Rosebery Singers. I train at Laine Theatre Arts School and have also taken part in professional pantomimes.

Now, sit back, relax and ‘Don’t Lose Ur Head!’

Recently I have held an organ and choral scholarship at St Giles’ in Ashtead, and taken part in courses with the Guildford Youth Symphony Orchestra. I have also been a part of Annie Jr with the British Theatre Academy, and have been in various Stagecoach productions.

Thank you for supporting our production - I do hope you enjoy the show.

I’m so excited to be playing Jane Seymour due to her gentle personality and beautiful song.

From classical singing and flute, to piano and bass guitar, music has always been a big part of my life.

I’ve performed in several school productions in the past, including Shrek, Sister Act and Peter Pan, and I’m so excited to now be a part of the incredible SIX cast! Alongside theatre, I’ve recently finished filming a movie starring Kevin Spacey, which was an amazing learning experience. I can’t wait to grow and develop more as an actress both on stage and on screen.
