The Unit 3 Theatre Studies play, ‘Girl Who Cried Wolf’ was on this week and was a fantastic success!
As part of VCE Theatre Studies Unit 3, the students in the class have been responsible for all aspects of the development of the play, including set and costume design, lighting, sound, directing, as well as actually acting in the play!
The play is the culmination of months of work by the students, who are assessed on the work they have prepared, in their own specialty areas of stagecraft.
Huge thanks to everybody who supported the students through this very demanding process. We will do a full report in the next newsletter, but I’d like to particularly thank all the staff members who helped out, but especially Kellie Tori, who generously leant her directorial expertise. Kellie directed last year’s school production of ‘As You Like It’, and has been working as a preservice teacher at Sacred Heart for the last five weeks. We are very grateful to Kellie for her work with the students on ‘Girl Who Cried Wolf’ and the Year 10 Drama play ‘Man in the Bowler Hat’, which was also performed as part of a ‘double bill’ with the 12 Theatre Studies Production. Year 10 Drama students were also part of the 12 Theatre Studies cast.
The Year 9 Drama class will also be performing their play in several week’s time, which Kellie has helped with.
Thanks to all of you who came along and supported our talented students.
They all really appreciated it!
