2023 MID YEAR SHOW INFORMATION
Please bookmark this page for future reference.
WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR....
This year we will be holding our show at 'Cranbourne Community Theatre'. This is a theatre that specialises in musicals and great sound!
We make every effort to ensure our shows are as enjoyable as possible for all involved, with this in mind, we would like to advise that our mid-year show will be longer than previous years.
Unlike many other activities, students have been working towards this day for much of the year and we thank you for your patience and excitement for what will be a super fun show! We anticipate the show will run for around 2.5 hours which includes an interval for our audience members.
While we do our best to keep the show flowing, we also thank you for your patience should there be an occasional stoppage. Pre-planning will ensure this is kept to a minimum, but as you can understand working with children, sometimes last minute toilet trips, microphone changes or quick costume changes can mean a small delay.
​
What will my child be performing?
Solo Singing Students - One two minute song each
Group Singing Class - Two songs
Senior Teen Screen Acting Students - One two minute scene each will be screened
Stage and Screen Students - Will take part in telling the story of High School Musical Junior
