Unspeakable Shenanigans Week 3

This week has been an engaging and productive one for the cast and crew of 'An Unspeakable Triumph of Supreme Brilliance'. Students received their costumes early this week and this has assisted greatly with their character development and has given them a sense of 'realism' in rehearsals. The costumes reflect each characters' quirks and personalities perfectly and big thanks must go to Costume managers Maria Bravo-Echevarria and Michelle Karuga along with Production staff Mrs Cuff and Miss Goodwin for their work in developing and sourcing these awesome outfits

Students were also given two fantastic opportunities to expand their experiences with this show beyond Holy Cross. On Wednesday, our cast and crew got the opportunity to Skype with none other than Don Zolidis, the playwright of the show. This was a huge thrill for students and staff alike as Don skyped from his home in Austin, Texas to HCC on Wednesday morning. He encouraged the students to bring their own personal touch to his characters and expressed his love for theatre and writing which was a big inspiration for the students. This was a memorable experience and we thank Don sincerely for giving us this opportunity.

Tickets for the Senior Production will go on sale on Monday 22 May (Week 5) and as part of the promotion process, cast members John Botha, Jamie Evans, Abbey'Lee Quantock, Brianna Armstrong and Zoe Paluszak along with Mr Chris McRae sat down with College Marketing and Community Relations manager Mrs Carolyn Jess to interview for an upcoming piece in the Ellenbrook Advocate. Students enjoyed the chance to reflect on their experiences so far.

Next week will see a break as students go off on Exams. In Week 5, we will be having two intensive rehearsals on Wednesday and Saturday to begin our attention to detail in the lead up to the shows in Week 9.
