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!!
