The Show Must Go Online

August 12, 2020

THE SHOW MUST GO ONLINE

With the Theatre closed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our Performing Arts teams had to rethink the way they would teach, rehearse and deliver a production this year.

Our original plans were postponed but as they say, the Show Must Go On…line! The performance was taken off the stage and into student’s homes with the brand new and quirky online musical, specially written by Beat by Beat Press during the pandemic and closures of schools and venues.

The Show Must Go Online is the first of its kind – a musical to be rehearsed, remotely, performed virtually and shared with audiences online.

The storyline includes a series of solo monologues and songs that, when recorded and played in sequence, present a musical theatre experience online.

It is a bit like life imitating art, with the plot centred around a group of students who are desperately trying to save their annual production and their Drama Department by turning their show “Brushes with Greatness: A Dental Hygiene Musical”, into a virtual production.

ENTERTAINMENT EXPERTS

Drama students have been lucky to learn from some acting experts keen to pass on their expertise in a range of incursions. Year 11 and 12 students enjoyed a workshop with actor and WAAPA lecturer Caitlin Beresford-Ord, thanks to the Black Swan State Theatre Company, while the Year 7s visited the weird and wonderful world of entertainment at an incursion with Zap Circus.

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE

March 20, 2020

It is with sadness that, according to the Government’s ban on gatherings of more than 100 attendees, delivery of the upcoming Year 11/12 Production of Mad Forest has been cancelled. We are committed to protecting the community amid the Coronavirus and while the cast and crew are understandably disappointed, their professionalism and commitment to the whole process is to be applauded. We do hope you are all able to witness the wonderful performing talent we have at St Stephen’s School again soon. Thank you for your support and join us in giving them a round of applause.
