Behind the Scenes- Dress Rehearsal

This years production is nearly upon us! The energy and enthusiasm of the students, staff and parents has been extraordinary and as the final touches are made there is a very real sense of anticipation. I am sure that you will wish them all well for the first performance on Wednesday afternoon. I hope you will be able to join myself and the rest of the community on Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening to watch this fantastic production.

The images here capture moments from the dress rehearsal on Sunday 29th January.

The lighting crew are a very dedicated bunch. For the last two evenings they have worked until 7pm under the close supervision of Dr Kowalewski and Alex Matthews to erect the lighting rigs and stage lights. All of them need to be tested and positioned to ensure they work on the night.
