Suzie Mathers Adds Wicked Touch to HCC

This week, the students in our Production Cast and Crew as well as our elective Dance, Drama and Music students were lucky enough to have a Q&A session with Perth bred Musical Theatre performer Suzie Mathers. Suzie took time out of her busy schedule, which currently involves 8 shows a week performing as Glinda in the musical 'Wicked' to speak to our Performing Arts students about everything ranging from performance techniques and warm ups to handling nerves. She spoke about options for career pathways in the Arts and spoke highly of the Perth based WAAPA. Students were absolutely thrilled to be in the presence of such a talent and we would like to thank Suzie for her insights into the world of Theatre and Performance. It was truly wicked!!


Behind the Scenes of Narnia (Autumn Term Weeks 2-4)

It's crunch time for the Production. As we approach the six week mark, things are starting to fall into place. With our Seniors returning from their exams, work has begun on making this show a reality. The students got their first taste of a live band with Mr Marquand (Drums), Claire Kendrick (Flute) and Mr McRae (Sax) playing live during our Saturday dress rehearsal. Costumes are looking superb and characterisation became a more relevant with costumes in place. We have now blocked the whole show (with a few tweaks to come due to our stage layout) and every song has had a couple of rehearsals. Now comes the time where we run and run and run until it's as good as it can be and ready for performance in Week 10. The cast and crew were very lucky during Week 5 to have had a visit from Perth bred Musical Theatre performer Suzie Mathers, who is currently performing as Glinda in Wicked. She was able to give our budding theatre performers some excellent advice and tips about performance technique, handling nerves and the performing arts as a career path. As of this Thursday, we are 5 weeks away from opening night. Tickets on sale for HCC's The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe next week. Keep an eye out for those colourful posters!!

Something Wicked Is Coming To Holy Cross

We are very excited to announce that we have a very special guest who will be visiting Holy Cross College in a few short weeks to have a chat to our production cast and crew about Musical Theatre performance technique. Suzie Mathers is a Perth bred Musical Theatre actress who graduated from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts in 2007. She was soon snapped up as part of the company for the smash hit musical 'Wicked' in 2008 and also appeared in the 2009 Australian tour of 'Mamma Mia' as Sophie. However, it was in 2011 that her big break came knocking when she took on the lead role of Glinda in 'Wicked'. She returns to Perth in the role for the first time this month and is taking some time out of her busy schedule to visit our College. We will be very excited to welcome Suzie to HCC in a few weeks time.
