Staughton College is busy preparing for a variety show prepared, written and adapted by performing art students, and the whole community is invited to attend.
Alice’s Adventures Absolutely Anywhere follows the titular Alice as she journeys into different worlds featuring famous scenes and songs as well as original creations.
The show will be performed by students between Year seven and 12 on Thursday and Friday, September seven and eight from 7pm.
Performing Arts coordinator Riley Beech said the most student-led production the school has undertaken has been an exciting form of “controlled chaos”.
“While having students write, direct and produce performances is initially nerve-wracking, The students have made themselves and our entire production team very proud,” he said.
“Our student leaders have really been the ones driving and controlling rehearsals while I’ve had the privilege to watch the magic happen and offer help and give suggestions to help students see their visions come to fruition.
“The performers will be moving throughout the entire venue from the stage to up close to the audience to completely immerse everyone in the fun and madness.”
Violet, 14, who will play Alice in the production, said she’s nervous, excited, happy, scared and mind-blown that the show is in 2 weeks.
“It’s very exciting, we all have been working really hard and everyone has had an amazing time,” she said.
Robin, 16, said they’re playing George, “the most popular boy in school” and leading the show has been “so fun”.
“It’s been exciting to see the groups come together and work so well, the students have worked so hard and I can’t wait to see the final product,” they said.
