Production Goings On (Week 6 Spring Term)

AUDITIONS=

Auditions for the 2016 College Production of 'The Happiest Days of Your Life' will be kicking off next week with Auditions running over the Monday and Friday of Week 7 and the Monday of Week 8. From there, the cast will be selected and officially announced in Week 9.

SENIOR CREW INTERVIEWS

Interviews for Senior Crew roles will be running parallel to auditions this year and we will be seeking responsible Senior School students for the roles of Stage Manager, Lighting Manager, Hair and Make Up Manager, Sound Manager and Costume Manager. These students will work alongside the Director and Assistant Directors in putting the show together and will manage their own small student teams. 

POSTER COMPETITION

Once again, we are holding a competition to see who can design the best poster for next year's production. The winning entry will be selected at the official poster and will have their work displayed around the College and local community as well as featuring on all promotional material, t-shirts and social media. 

PRODUCTION CAMP 2016

This year, the cast and senior crew of the Happiest Day of Your Life will be participating in a weekend production camp to Swanleigh in Middle Swan. The weekend will consist of team building activities, workshopping and character development and will be a great opportunity for students and staff to build relationships and develop as a production team.

2016 Production Announcement

It's that time of year again. Preparations for the 2016 Holy Cross College Production are in full swing. We are delighted to announce that the production for 2016 will be 'The Happiest Days of Your Life' by John Dighton. 

Set in post WWII England, ’The Happiest Days of Your Life’ is a uproarious comedic farce which portrays the hilarious events which unfold when all-girls school St Swithan's is billeted with all-boys school Hillary Hall. This causes confusion and utter chaos, especially when it comes to hiding it from the parents. So much so that the male teachers end up in dresses at one point in an effort to cover up the fact that their school now has 'females'. It is a hilarious battle of the sexes.

The production in 2016 will be of a considerably smaller scale than the epic undertaking that was the hugely successful 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' in 2015. We are aiming to undertake a larger scale production every second year. 'Happiest Days' will see a cast of only 13 and a select Senior School crew joining the Core Production Staff Team. We are delighted to welcome Miss Jackie Collender and Miss Edel Maher to the Production Team in 2016.

We are looking forward to what is set to be a fantastic production with a lot of laughs and some great moments for students and staff alike.
