Challenges Ahead

The exciting part of a Senior School Production is that we can lay down challenges that we haven't done before. We are very excited to have acquired the services of Julia Moody, who is Head of Vocal Studies in Acting at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Julia will be running three workshops with the cast on mastering the distinctive Minnesotan accent, which is where Unspeakable Triumph is set. Accents which are not native are tricky to master and our cast will be able to challenge themselves to nail these accents as part of their colourful characters. See if you can master it!

Sneak Peek of Unspeakable Triumph Talent

If you would like a sneak peek of some of the amazing talent of the cast of An Unspeakable Triumph of Supreme Brilliance, then be sure to come along and see them perform in Ellenbrook Theatre Company's Production of Cinderella this December! Lloyd Matias, Chardonnay Mitchell, John Botha and Breannah Rigoli will be part of the Cast and Mr Chris McRae has directed the show and Mr Guy Jackson will be involved behind the scenes.
