Annie – a memorable performance

 Article 29

Our education allows us to share our talents.

This week the school has been ringing out with music, as the stars of the school production of ‘Annie’ were able to share their hard work with their friends and family. The cast, who have been working hard on the show for only seven weeks, performed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week to packed audiences.

Set in 1930s New York, Annie tells the story of an eleven-year-old girl, who has been living in the horrid Miss Hannigan’s orphanage for girls her whole life. She has the dream that one day she will be reunited with the parents who left her a letter and a locket so many years ago. Annie’s quest to find her real parents and the adoption by the billionaire businessman Oliver Warbucks is what provides dramatic plot for this spectacular and heart-warming musical.

We would like to thank all the parents, grandparents and friends who have donated their time, props, costumes, and for supporting learners in their learning of lines and dance routines.

Every single performer gave everything they had, helping to make this production so successful.

Thanks are due to all the staff who helped with auditions, rehearsals and backstage. Of course, the entire performance could not have happened if it were not for all the brilliantly talented actors, actresses and chorus who helped to make the event so memorable. Well done everyone!

Here’s just a few photos with lots more to come. Please leave a comment about your thoughts on the production…

Annie Auditions

We have a right to share our talents

Wow, do we have a lot of amazingly theatrical children at St Nicholas???

Today saw three classrooms converted into a dance studio, drama theatre and music workshop as auditions took place for the Second Level (P5-7) school show – Annie.

Everyone who took part did extremely well and all should be very proud of themselves for having the confidence to participate.  Unfortunately, there is not enough acting roles for everyone and it was a really hard to choose those who would play the different characters, but after a lot of deliberation the selection has been made.  They will be announced on Monday!!

Here are a few pictures of the auditions as they took place:-
