‘Oliver! JR’ School Show Success

Where do we even begin?! We could not be more more proud of the cast and crew of our first school production, ‘Oliver! JR’.

We had an amazing opening night and didn’t think it would be possible to beat it, but at the second evening’s performance, our talented youngsters raised the bar even higher!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to support our first (of many) school productions and to everyone who worked so hard to make it the huge success it was!

A special thank you to Euan Gibb for providing the sound equipment for us and to our wonderful Parent Council for so kindly covering the cost of this for us!

‘Wow the weans of Oliver upped their game even more tonight. It was absolutely fabulous, standing ovation for them. What a lot of time and effort from Mrs McNulty, Mrs Clarke and all the weans. I had a wee tear on my eye at them all on the stage at the end.’

‘A-MAZ-ING!!! Wee superstars!’

‘Absolutely amazing! Every one of them  were brilliant, You could see all the work and effort that was out into it.’

‘Can I just say that the Oliver Show at NCPS last night was absolutely outstanding, the full cast were amazing. The ones that had main parts were fantastic and Oliver himself was just perfect! Ranging from 8 to age 12 and putting a performance on like that was truly wonderful! I hope all the parents of those kids are so so proud and the kids themselves should be proud. I was totally stunned at how good the show was, so well done to each and every single one of you! Can’t wait till the next show!’
