After months of hard work and preparation, our cast and crew were thrilled to finally present this year’s musical production of ‘Annie’. Performing three shows across three days, the talented team demonstrated professionalism, resilience and bravery, leaving their audiences in absolute awe.
Each year, our Senior School performance highlights the excellence of our students and staff in the Creative Arts, bringing together talented individuals in Drama, Art, Music and Textiles. Situated in our state-of-the-art theatre, crowds were seated and transported into the world of Annie, with the beautifully constructed set, designed and created by our amazing Creative Arts Faculty, proving the perfect setting for our cast to shine! Entering the stage with confidence and composure, each student embraced the opportunity to perform for captivated audiences, delivering excellent interpretations of their characters.
This year, we were delighted to welcome Year 5 students from 3 local primary schools, Delapre, Hardingstone and Preston Hedges, to enjoy this amazing show. A wonderful time was had by our visiting guests, with one teacher commenting “It really was such a fantastic opportunity (for our students) … it could very well have inspired many who have never considered Drama before!” Our week-long programme of performances culminated in our feature show for our visiting families, friends and colleagues, and in a night filled with talent, joy and applause, it was wonderful to see pupils from each year collaborating well and making memories to cherish. Excelling in their roles and supporting one another, the true brilliance of our student body was on show. A huge thanks must go to Mrs Marriott for her skill, dedication and genuine love for musical theatre which shines through every year. Mrs Marriott continues to produce phenomenal productions for audiences to enjoy, all whilst equipping students with the skills and professional experience required to succeed on the stage.
Thank you to our wonderful guests and school community for joining us on a night which is certain to live long in the memory.
