Cast Announcement – Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat
Today we announced the cast for our upcoming Summer Show ‘Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’. The children have worked incredibly hard throughout the audition process and we are so proud of their enthusiasm, bravery and talent.
We understand that some children may feel disappointed if they didn’t receive the part they were hoping for. However, every role – whether a lead, ensemble or behind the scenes helper – is crucial to making our show a success.
We reminded the children that theatre is about more than just individual roles; it’s about storytelling, teamwork, and having fun! Every member of the cast and crew is valued, and we cannot wait to see them shine on stage.
As always, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to an amazing production!
Mrs Terras, Mrs McIntyre, Miss Dorby, Mr Bertoncini
