There’s so much about going to a performance school that isn’t just about performing. It’s about making friends and supporting them when they’re on stage. It’s about learning to listen, communicate, take turns and respect other people’s ideas. It’s also about being backstage, working together and experiencing the real magic of theatre—the teamwork, trust and community that make a performance possible. 🎭

A little snippet from our show Roxy 🎭

Written and directed by Elizabeth Bracken, choreography by Lauren Graham, with music direction by Megan Burke.

This was a fantastic bunch of students taking on a challenging play — lots of scene changes, lots of lines, and plenty to keep them on their toes! But they absolutely rose to the challenge, worked so hard, and were simply brilliant on the night. 🌟

So proud of every one of them! ❤️👏
