On the 21-23rd of April, I took part in my favourite musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat! In it, I had the role of the narrator on the Saturday night with my friend Niamh. I feel very lucky to be able to get this role as there was 76-78 people in the cast.

Taking part in Joseph helped me work on teamwork skills because I need to be able to work with the whole cast and block the show.  I also get to work on my  patience skills as it can take a long time before we move on to the next scene.

Ever since I joined Inverclyde Musical Youth Theatre(IMYT), I have become really interested in musical theatre. I think that all the skills I have learned from this performance will help me for the next shows to come .

To  help us prepare for the show, we had to make sure we were at rehearsals each day even during our Easter break. We also had to add extra hours on to rehearsals  which sometimes lasted 6-7 hours. All of this hard work paid off and the show turned out GREAT!

I have had a lot of positive comments back from people who went to see it saying that the show was a huge success. Mrs Falconer and Miss McCready came to watch me perform on the Friday night and they loved the show! They said they couldn’t believe the level of talent! Hearing people say that about a show that I took part in made me feel so proud!

I think that the next thing I need to do is continue taking part in these shows and keep building up my confidence.
